EAST PALO ALTO INFORMATION

Publisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Letter Welcome to the second edition of the East Palo Alto Information magazine. This edition has been renamed the East Palo Alto-Belle Haven Information primarily in response to requests by community leaders in the Belle Haven community for inclusion in the magazine.

Address 2211 Menalto Avenue, East Palo Alto, CA 94303 Telephone:

(650) 323-4477

PUBLISHER: Meda O. Okelo

The first edition of the magazine focused on descriptions of the public agencies serving the city of East Palo Alto with the simple intent of making known the variety of entities serving this small community at the southernmost tip of the County of San Mateo.

EDITORIAL: Fred Dorn, : Joan D. Williams, : Lisa Dorn: Marilyn Scott DESIGN: George Okello, WeMorph PHOTOGRAPHY: Cedric Thomas, Meda O. Okelo, Brother Jaye Studios PRODUCTION: Modern LithoProduction Management MAILING: AID Mailing & Fulfillment ADVERTISING: Meda Okelo, Eva Cuffy WEBSITE: Rachael Kalicum, Website Designer EAST PALO ALTO INFORMATION, (ISSN 2325-0550) is published annually by Jatelo Productions 2211 Menalto Avenue, East Palo Alto California, 94303. (650) 323-4477. East Palo Alto Information is delivered free to residential addresses in East Palo Alto and the Belle Haven neighborhood in Menlo Park.

2 East Palo Alto Information 2014

This second edition is focused on the non-profits serving both the City of East Palo Alto and the Belle Haven community a neighborhood in the city of Menlo Park. Non-profits, also known as non-governmental organizations or community based organizations are enterprises that provide services that are supported by grants and donations. Services are usually free to the public, but in cases where fees are charged, the fees usually are low, affordable and are never intended to recoup the cost of providing the service or services. Services provided are usually not exclusive to non- profits, in fact not for profit enterprises provide services that in most cases are within the purview of for profit and governmental agencies. Non-profit organizations serve in areas including education, recreation, religion, health care, human/social services, mental health, housing, finance and banking, youth development, professional associations, legal services, volunteerism/philanthropy, community development, delinquency prevention, alcohol and drug abuse treatment, advocacy, the arts, property management, economic development, media, job training, civil rights, culture, wildlife preservation, hospice-home care, voter education, domestic violence prevention, mediation and dispute resolution, sports and athletics, emergency assistance, spiritual development. In other words services practically impacting .almost every aspect of human existence. Why you may ask, should a magazine focusing on non-profits be published for residents of the City of East Palo Alto and the Belle Haven community in Menlo Park? Two reasons come to mind: one, the need for residents in both communities as well as potential social entrepreneurs in and outside these communities, to know what non-profits exist and the services they provide; and two, the need to make known to the general public as well as the philanthropic community, the public service and financial donation opportunities that abound in this sector. The informational research needed to gather information for the publication spanned many sources: the individual organization Web URLs or documents; a variety of sources including Guidestar; various local newspapers and other publications. Most important, however, is the extensive knowledge of local non-profits that I acquired, attending Stanford University and subsequently working for the City of East Palo, first as its Cultural Arts and Human Services Coordinator and subsequently as its Community Services Director. I hope you find this edition helpful to the extent that you or someone you know may need services offered by these organizations. I hope as well that you take advantage of the opportunities that these organizations offer not only for public service but as a vehicle through which you can invest your financial resources to bring about the changes you may want to see in the communities bounding Hwy 101 in the cities of East Palo Alto and Menlo Park.

New Leadership

New Leadership “Do something….. Whenever you find yourself in a situation or moment when you do not know what to do? DO SOMETHING anyway”. A statement his maternal grandmother-guardian repeatedly drummed in him as a child. The statement has guided his approach to life to this day. Delayzio Amerson Delayzio Amerson assumed the leadership of the East Palo Alto YMCA in May 2013 as its third Executive Director. Delayzio Amerson was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin of a teenage mother. He was raised by his maternal grandparents in Eutaw Alabama. Growing up, he never thought that a childhood characterized by abject poverty would prepare him for the interesting life experiences both in the country and internationally. He lived with his mother in shacks with leaking roofs, no indoor plumbing before joining his grandparents. He spent his elementary and middle school years in Eutaw, a small rural town in Alabama. He however, completed his high school education in Milwaukee, where, as a young country boy, he was mesmerized and intimidated by things as little and mundane as the way his school mates spoke, the cultural diversity of the student population or the range and quantity of products in grocery stores. He graduated from Grambling State University in Louisiana and began his professional working career as a peace corps volunteer in Kyiv, Ukraine where a few incidents threatening his physical safety, forced him to relocate to San Christobal in the Dominican Republic. In this small Caribbean country he was a small business consultant, connecting businesses to technical resources. In his spare time he taught children sports and games at a local orphanage. The level of poverty he encountered in these far off places, no indoor plumbing, no running water, housing that barely provided adequate shelter from the elements did not shock him, after all for most of his young life, he lived under similar circumstances. People are surprised that he speaks Spanish, albeit with a non-Michoacan accent. He is however appreciative that he is still understood and he hopes that the ‘something “ he does will be to raise the public profile of the East Palo Alto YMCA and be an advocate and resource for those in need.

12 East Palo Alto Information 2014

Dr. Hernandez describes herself as a “former air force brat” whose dad was born in Texas but married a Californian. As a military family, they moved so much that, by 11th grade she had attended fourteen different school districts or schools. Even as a child Gloria saw the stack differences in the quality-of-education in different schools. Some had a more rigorous curriculum others and others had a wider and richer range of educational experiences. Dr. Gloria Hernandez, took over as Superintendent of the Ravenswood City School District on September 1st 2013. In addition to attending schools across the county, Gloria experienced a variety of teachers and teaching styles. Her second grade teacher, however, left an indelible mark on her life both as a person and as a professional educator that she eventually became. In addition to being an outstanding teacher in the class room, she further exceled in the manner with which she interacted with parents. Gloria, to this day, still remembers her get-to-know-her parents-visits to her home. Gloria remembers her mother feeling honored and being grateful for her child’s Dr. Gloria Hernandez teacher taking time to visit her at her home. The memory of this experience and the appreciation she felt for it has led her, in her professional life, to develop and lead initiatives that encouraged teachers to visit the homes of the children they taught. Gloria has worked with the Parent teacher Home Visit Project an initiative that started as partnership between a faith based community organizing group, a local teachers union and a school district intent on addressing the “finger pointing” that typically characterizes the relationship between parents and school district staff, particularly in situations characterized by low student achievement. Frustrated by the lack of support systems for children in schools in Sacramento, she joined the faith based Pacific Institute for Community Organizations later to be known has PICO National Network, to only learn community organizing. PICO was founded in by a Father John Baumann, a Jesuit priest who had learned community organizing in Chicago. Father John and others pioneered a model where ecumenical groups of varied faiths serve as the institutional base for community organizing. After a stint of five year with the organization she came back to field of education with a renewed vigor to organize parents around the education of their children.

Dr. Hernandez is convinced that one on one relationship building is absolutely critical in the advancement of any human enterprise. A parent visit she believes is an effective way of engaging parents in the education of their children.

She also hopes to use it to develop and nurture new relationships with old as well as new partners in one of the most enterprising areas in the world-the Silicon Valley. Perhaps it was his place of birth, Indianapolis, Indiana, the home of the Indy 500, or that his dad was a “car nut” who from childhood had an uncanny fascination with anything mechanical, particular the vehicular. It may just have been his fascination with anything engineering, sparked by a visit by the Northern California Council of Black Professional Engineers to his Sacramento High School class and their subsequent orchestrated tour of the engineering department at Sacramento State College, Ken Jones, the new General Manager of the East Palo Alto Sanitary District always has had a fascination for how things work and how they could be made to work better, cost effectively and in the case of racing cars, how they can operate faster. Ken Jones assumed the stewardship of the East Palo Alto Sanitary District in March 2013. Ken’s first visit to East Palo Alto however dates back to spring 1970 when as a high school student he was part of a team from Sacramento invited to attend an educational conference convened by the then vibrant Nairobi College. Little did he know or imagine that in 1981 he and Penny, his wife would purchase a home in East Palo Alto; that he would naturally vote for the city’s incorporation; that in 1985 he would accept employment with the young recently incorporated city of East Palo Alto and that he would work there for eight years; that during his sojourn in East Palo Alto he would set up the City’s first Public Works Department Ken’s parents are originally from Mississippi and were part of the largest migration of people within the United States when they migrated Kenneth C. Jones to Indianapolis Indiana. In 1958, his family moved to Sacramento and settled in the Oak Park neighborhood. Ken’s father was a mechanic who eventually retired from the State of California’s Bureau of Automotive Repair as a Field Investigator. Ken attended Sacramento High School and subsequently studied civil engineering

at California State University-Sacramento. Growing up in Oak Park Sacramento, however, and loving the sport of basketball, Ken, at five feet eleven and half inches tall, and considered the best defensive player in high school basketball circles in Sacramento, Ken knew he had already bought his one way ticket to the NBA. However that fateful spring 1970, the visit by engineers from the Northern California Council of Black Professional Engineers to his school changed the entire trajectory of his life. To this day, Ken is convinced that young high school students must be encouraged to stay in school and aim for college. Indeed Ken has been an influential supporter of the Foundation for a College Education, a local community based organization whose mission is to increase the number of students from East Palo Alto and similar communities who graduate with a degree from a four year college or university. Ken Jones is married and has four children. The couple still lives in East Palo Alto and Ken confesses to still being inspired by the song “Tobacco Road” particularly the part of the song that talks about the love for one’s community, leaving it and loving it enough to come back and tear it down and rebuilding it to a better town. Although Ken Jones still has a great love for Sacramento and the Oak Park neighborhood East Palo Alto is his “Tobacco Road”.

Founders Ruben Avelar was a UC Berkeley graduate working at Kavanaugh Oaks School in 1979 when the principal, Joe McNair, asked him on short notice to prepare a program for the Cinco de Mayo celebration. As a child, his first exposure to Mexican folkloric dance came when made to accompany his sister to the Los Lupenos rehearsals in San Jose. He did not really care for dancing, but the group needed male partners so he became a student of dance. This experience served him well when asked to prepare the students for Cinco de Mayo. To his surprise, over a hundred kids signed up to participate. Lacking enough dance choreography for so many, he called upon old friends from his Los Lupenos days and was able to put together a good performance. The experience of that first performance showed him the potential of the cultural arts in positively effecting student academic and Rubén Avelar social outcomes. Motivated, he decided to start an after school Mexican cultural dance program that soon led to the creation of Ballet Folklorico Juvenil. Father Gene at St. Francis of Assisi Church donated rehearsal space and classes were held four days a week, ongoing for four years. In 1981, with his mother’s input, the name was changed to its current name, Raices de Mexico. Never did Sheila George think that she would abandon a successful rewarding career in technology and insurance industries to do community work. Many years, Sheila commuted to Oakland, leaving early and coming home late, content that she comfortably provided for her family. She knew little about the community of East Palo Alto. In 1988, her life turned upside down when her 22 year old son, Ronnie, was killed, the day before Thanksgiving at Jack Farrell Park. To date his case is still unresolved. Depressed and overwhelmed she came to terms with the reality of the community in which she lived and where she was trying to raise her family. From the tragedy the work she had enjoyed became meaningless and empty. She was compelled to find something that could do to change the violence and killings that dominated the lives of youth in. Depressed and confused, she confided to her partner her wish to set up a program to work with young people, helping them figure out how to make the right choices in life. Her

destiny took a turn when, days later, David Umble, presented her with a plan to establish and operate a “Teen” Home. In 1992 she opened her first East Palo Alto Teen Home on Gonzaga Street. It was a place for young foster mothers. In 1995, Sheila, quit her other job and delved into the next chapter of her life body, mind and spirit: Two decades later, she is still operating a teen home with the intention of reopening additional homes in other communities as well and Homes for teenage boys

Sheila George

Sheila was born in Tulsa Oklahoma, but before her first birthday moved to Oakland California. In 1963 she moved to East Palo Alto, enrolling at OICW to learn skills useful in the rapidly expanding Silicon Valley. Using that training, she worked with Lockheed-Martin, Varian, Hewlett-Packard and Intel before she joined the insurance industry and worked for American National until 1995. Today, she lives in the same University Village area, every year commemorating her son’s death on the eve of Thanksgiving by volunteering in the various food distribution programs in the city. She is grateful that the tragic death of her son opened her, but painfully to the ever present need to be engaged in community helping others. Non sibi translates “Not for self.” This old motto of Chris Bischof’s high school, Phillips Academy Non sibi, pervades Chris Bischof’s life As an undergraduate attending Stanford, Chris worked with a summer enrichment program for East Palo Alto middle schoolers. He stayed on to tutor and coach basketball. Surprised at the improved motivation expressed by these kids. Chris, for his honors thesis wrote a proposal seeking funding to start an after-school academic enrichment program using basketball as bait. Shoot for the Stars was funded in 1991. Chris began working with a core group of seven fourth graders. He was the sole volunteer and the pact with the students was simple: the kids submitted to his tutelage for 90 minutes a day and were rewarded with 90 minutes of basketball. Chris soon realized that a tutoring program alone would not have the desired goal and began exploring the feasibility of doing something bigger with a greater impact on the achievement outcomes of children in the Ravenswood City School District. After earning a master’s degree and teaching credential from Stanford, Chris taught in the local middle school and at Woodside High School.

When his first class of star shooters entered ninth grade, , Chris, at age 26, in a leap of faith started the Eastside College Preparatory School. In 1976 the last public high school in East Palo Alto shut down. Since then students have been bussed to schools in Woodside, Belmont and Redwood City while others sought learning in private schools in the area. Chris thought that bringing a high school back to the community, and promoting learning and inspiring achievement in innovative ways would make a significant change on the drop-out rate and the number of students entering and completing four year colleges. In 1996, he and Chris Bischof fellow Stanford graduate Helen Kim welcomed the first group of students to the newly formed Eastside College Preparatory School. The eight 9thgrade students met first at a picnic tables in an East Palo Alto park, then at a room in a computer learning center, as well as in an unused room at Families in Transition Center. The school has expanded to include sixth, seventh and eighth graders, as well as offering boarding for students whose success is facilitated by staying in an environment that promotes academic growth as well as general development. To date, every Eastside College Preparatory graduate has gone on to a four-year college, including some of the most distinguished colleges in the nation. Eighty percent of the school’s alumni are either in a four-year college or have graduated. Elizabeth was a board member of the East Palo Alto Law Project on May 13, 2002 when it entertained a motion to disband itself effective August 31, 2002. The law project had for twenty years offered legal assistance in the areas of housing and immigration. Ms. Jackson and one other board member, a Stanford student, were the only dissenting votes. Deeply concerned by what closure meant to the thousands of residents she urged the board to reconsider the decision. She mobilized key leaders and stakeholders in the community, urging them to attend the next board meeting.. On June 2nd, about fifteen community leaders attended the Law Project’ board meeting and were able to get the board to reconsider its decision, requesting that the group provide a plan of action that would ensure the agency’s continued existence. Using personal as well as solicited resources, Elizabeth hired the National Economic Law Project out of Oakland to craft a plan.

The board rejected the plan and stuck to its decision to shut down on August 31st. Ms. Jackson was fired up. Relentlessly. determined to ensure that the community still had access to affordable legal services, she used her personal resources and solicited funds from local businesses, she recruited the community and set Elizabeth Jackson up a community fundraising committee;she engaged grant writers; she coordinated a community needs assessment to document the need for legal services; she recruited members for a new legal services board. It is a testimony of her success that the East Palo Alto Community Legal Services opened its doors only nine days after the official closure of the East Palo Alto Law Project! Elizabeth Jackson was born in Birmingham Alabama but moved to Columbus Ohio as teenager. She had little interest in public service early in her life. In 1969 she started working shorty after her graduation from high school for a civilian company customer service company contracted by the military. The job allowed to travel across the United States, visiting practically every state as well as travelling worldwide visiting, Japan, Korea and several countries in Europe. She came to California in 1978, to visit a brother in Mountain View, but liked the area enough to relocate, moving into East Palo Alto, and settling at the old Catalina apartments where IKEA now stands. Her first community engagement came when she was appointed a member of the Project Area Committee (PAC) as a tenant representative. The PAC was an advisory body to the East Palo Alto Redevelopment Agency required by the then California Redevelopment Law. In 1992 she was appointed to East Palo Alto’s Rent Stabilization Board as a tenant representative and served until 2004. She joined the East Palo Alto Law Project Board in 1994. Ms. Jackson owns and operates a vending, food concession and antiques business called Martin & Hunter Enterprises

Destined to feed the hungry and care for the needy. Lovie D. Lewis, so the local lore goes, never met anyone she did not help or denied help to anyone in need. From delivering homemade meals to the homeless, or serving them from the back of a truck, to taking local kids on field trips, there was nothing she would not do to meet the needs of others. She gave so freely of herself that many in East Palo Alto, in the African-American cultural tradition crowned her with the title of “mother.”

Mother Lewis never shied from asking for help in the work she did for others, recruiting people around her in service to her ministry. She never declined to offer of herself either, volunteering with the Stanford’s English Language improvement program or exercising her culinary talents to cater fundraising and other events at her place of employment. Before starting Bread of Life formally in 1988, Ms. Lovie Lewis was known to serve meals to the hungry from the back of a truck. In 1989, she partnered with Dr. William Lee to launch Bread of Life East Palo Alto an agency that sought to feed Lovie D. Lewis the hungry and (1930-2002) care for those in need. Compassion for others, and the compelling need to serve those in need was not new to Ms. Lewis. She was born in Trinity Texas, one of seven children from working class parents. From when she was little she witnessed the generosity and humanity of his parents who regularly invited the homeless and needy to stay in their home, welcoming them with blankets and stew. Always concerned about those in need her father’s compassionate heart even had him on at least one occasion canvassing the neighborhood to collect money for a family about to lose their home. Her father was a community activist who really cared about people, he reportedly frequented city hall every Friday advocating for the needy. The family moved to Houston when Ms. Lewis was 14. She soon found a job washing sheets and dishes at a hospital. After high school, and a brief marriage, Ms. Lewis moved to California where she landed a job at Stanford University Medical Center, working in the linen department for 40 years until her retirement in 1993 She passed away on August 31st 2002 at 72 in Texas.

Concerned about 8-9 year olds entering the Little League Baseball program without any basic skills for the sport, Gene Tate founded the East Palo Alto T-Ball Pitching Machine in 1992. As a coach in the Little League program, he was concerned that the disparity in baseball skills did not serve the program’s youth developmental aspirations. He was convinced that learning the sport in a less competitive environment would not only help the youth but would eventually make the little league a better program.

T-Ball Pitching Machine would be that farm league. More important, it would be the league to allow younger children, 3-4 years removed from Little League to learn the sport in a safe and fun environment. The league would also be a way to promote awareness of the Old Negro League that was active from the late 1880’s through the early 1950’s. Criminal activity and the fear it engendered however, forced parents to barricade their children inside abandoning parks such as Jack Farrell to criminal elements. Gene Tate embarked on a mission to recapture the park for the program. He cajoled city officials to dedicate resources to repair the park and to provide law enforcement services. Many a day he was at the park, providing critical maintenance services. He did it with a fondness of a person who had played on the same field. The odds were stacked against him. The facility was ill maintained and decrepit. Over the years it had become a haven for illicit activities. Ronnie, had been killed at the park; Joel Davis, the first police officer to die in the line of duty also died in the park vicinity. Parents were reluctant to let their children out for any program,… most of all, not a Jack Farrell part. Against these odds, he unrelentingly battled Gene Tate .Inspired and driven by memories of playing little league as a kid in the same park, he cajoled the city and parents to free up both resources and children. He took responsibility to maintain the park and spent evening and weekend cleaning the park, cutting the grass and laying out the field. He confronted misusers persuading them to let the children play. He, with the help of others, worked with the San Francisco Giants and the Good Tidings Foundations to get the park refurbished,. Decades later the T-Ball Pitching Machine Program is still in existence serving hundreds of youth each year. Gene Tate was born in St. Louis Missouri. In 1957, at age 12 his family moved to East Palo Alto. He attended Green Oaks School, and played in the Ravenswood Little League. He was one of the pioneering students of the newly built Ravenswood High School, graduating in 1962. While still a student at Ravenswood High School he coached the Ravenswood Lions, a little league team. He attended San Jose City College before being drafted in 1965. He received a purple heart for his service in Vietnam. In 1976 he started his own floor covering business –CNG Carpet as well a record store in San Jose.

”Thoughtful, driven, concerned and committed individuals are changing East Palo Alto and the Belle Haven Community …… one step at a time. Margaret Mead expressed it best when she said “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it’s the only thing that ever has.” This is very true in the history of non-profits in the East Palo Alto/Belle Haven communities. In these communities this spirit brought forward initiatives in the arts, education, emergency assistance, physical and mental health, environmental stewardship, food provision, youth development, political and civil rights advocacy, substance abuse alleviation, re-entry services for former inmates, housing provision, employment, citizenship and immigration rights. All aspects of a community’s wellbeing. The power of the “change agency” has been alive and well. Individuals across the world and across time have identified societal problems and dedicated themselves to crafting and implementing solutions. It is hard to imagine the world without this force pursuing solutions to societal problems. In East Palo Alto / Belle Haven neighborhood in Menlo Park, there are approximately 203(or 46% all non-profits operating) active locally based non-profits (including churches). Approximately 430 not for profit initiatives have been associated with the two communities. Some of these efforts work under the umbrella of other legal non-profit fiscal agents. 23% of the non-profits are in cities in San Mateo County. 16% are in Santa Clara County (Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Altos and San Jose)

There are many examples where individual residents as well as people from other communities saw a need and developed a strategy to address it. Isaac Stevenson Snr., a converted Catholic saw that a St Vincent de Paul Conference was established in East Palo Alto; Elder A. Macklin established First Step Community Services to work with those afflicted with substance and alcohol abuse; Mother Branch set up the East Palo Alto Community Service Center, Ruben Avelar saw the cultural thirst of students in the local schools and created Raices de Mexico; Nobantu Ankoanda, unhappy with the status of education in the district, established Shule Ya Taifa; David Lewis and Priya Haji took on the need for a long term community-based solution to the problem of substance addiction and founded Free at Last in 1992; Chris Woodard and others, concerned about the state of education in the Ravenswood School District, came together and established the East Palo Alto Charter School, the city’s first charter school He attributes his lifelong avoidance of narcotics or encounter with the justice system to his involvement in amateur boxing.. The old Ravenswood High School for years housed a boxing gym established by the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Police Activities League at which he practiced. After the school was torn down, he took his training to a gym in Redwood City and the streets of East Palo Alto. where day or night he could be seen running and shadow boxing. He dreamed of starting a boxing gym to give youth an outlet against the pitfalls and temptations of narcotics and the street life. He got his chance when asked to start a physical fitness program for a youth group home that would engage the youth in the home year round and most importantly would help dissipate their boundless energy. He was able to convince the city’s community services department

leadership of the positive outcomes of amateur boxing and with his carpentry skills was able to convert a multi- purpose room into a quasi- boxing gym.. The program eventually morphed into the East Palo Alto Boxing Club. This man was Johnnie Gray. Another person was the first community services director for the newly incorporated city of East Palo Alto in the early eighties. During his tenure students from the Ravenswood City School District attending high school in the Sequoia Union High School District were dropping out in significantly high numbers. He knew that students needed help navigating the system both in terms of academics as well as learning how to handle outside school issues that impinged upon their success. From that concern he created the Youth Development Center, an agency that deployed counselors into every public high school attended by East Palo Alto and Belle Haven students. This persons is Bob Hoover a person who has been associated with many non -profits throughout the years in East Palo Alto. Other non-profits have been established by Stanford students, alumni as well faculty. Lauren Powell Jobs and Carlos Watson established College Track to familiarize students and their parents with the college application process; Similarly Glen Singleton and Chris Rose established Foundation for a College Education; Chris Bischof, Priya Haji, Andy Hartwell, Esther Berndt, Norm Picker, Alissa Picker and Condoleeza Rice are among the many Stanford associated individuals who have established programs/non-profits addressing community needs. Some non-profits were established by residents from neighboring communities Credit for the establishment of the Ecumenical Hunger Program is given to Miriam Nixon Hope, a Mountain View resident and the Church Women United, a group associated with the First Congregational Church of Palo Alto. A corporation is an entity that provides a legal vehicle for people to pool their resources (money and time) and engage in activities that are either for profit or non-profit purposes. Its legal existence depends on each individual state’s incorporation laws. Federal law considers a corporation as a separate entity distinct from its founders, managers or operators and as such, it can enter into contracts, incur debts and pay taxes. It “separateness’ gives its owners, managers or operators limited liability against claims and lawsuits. A non-profit corporation is a corporation that is granted tax exempt status. It is an entity that is further prohibited, by federal tax code, from paying out dividends or profits to anyone. When a non-profit corporation dissolves, it is legally obligated to distribute its remaining assets to a similarly tax-exempt non-profit group

Non-residents including those associated specifically with Stanford University account for 36% of the non-profits. There are non-profits like the Boys and Girls Club or the YMCA, organizations that have expanded into the East of Bayshore community, but not without the voice of local champions who advocated long and hard for them. The Boys and Girls Club, for a long time known as the Boys Club was started in 1860 by Mary Goodwin, Alice Goodwin and Elizabeth Hammersley, in Hartford, Connecticut. These three women conceived the idea for a Boys Club, believing that boys needed positive alternative in leisure time activities. They subsequently organized the first Club. The organization continues today across America serving both boys and girls.

The YMCA was established in London, England, in 1844 by George Williams, a draper’s shop assistant, concerned about giving young men an alternative to life on the streets. In 1851, Thomas Sullivan, a retired sea captain and lay missionary, started the first U.S. YMCA in Boston. Unheralded however are people like Bill and Terri Vines and others who explored ways to meet the need for recreational programs and facilities for the community.

Other agencies include the Institute for Human and Social Development, St. Vincent de Paul Society of San Mateo, Job Train, the Mid –Peninsula Education Center, El Concilio de San Mateo, Aim High, Ecumenical Hunger Program, Free At Last Community Recovery and Rehabilitation Services, Senior Housing Services Inc, Peninsula Volunteers Properties Inc. and College similarly provide services beyond the boundaries of East Palo Alto and Belle Haven.

Non-profit agencies in East Palo Alto/Belle Haven, as a vehicle for doing community work, seem to have acquired popularity in the last two decades of the previous century with 48% of them being established between 1920-2000. The trend has continued into the present century with 38% of the non-profits being established since the turn of the century. Founding a non-profit is only beginning. A non-profit’s success depends upon its ability to: recruit and engage a board of directors; gather enough resources to implement strategies to achieve its purpose(s); engage and support competent committed paid and volunteer staff. Non-profits in the two communities have engaged over 590 volunteer members of board members. The agencies have hired over 1851 in administrative and support personnel in addition to engaging over 12,592 volunteers. The agencies have raised and expended upwards of $111,667,944.00 (2010) to facilitate their work.

Human services generated the most in expenses among these 20 top non-profits, with a total expenditure of $37,230,900.00 The three legged African stool offers a good metaphor for a community to the extent that each community has the three components of government, civic society and business.

They can and probably should have a role but their engagement cannot be absolute. Neither can the free enterprise system or businesses institutions, despite the belief of some, meet the needs of a community.

The top areas of activity for nonprofits are: Youth Development, accounting for 25% of the non-profits; Religious institutions coming in second at 22% and Education third with 15%. The top 20 non-profits operating in the East Palo Alto- Belle Haven area, from the perspective of the size of their 2010 operational budget, spans several areas: Human Services (including Health, legal and Housing) and –Education (including youth services. These non-profits, representing 12% of all the non-profits in the two communities, in 2010, accounted for 61% of total verifiable expenditures The South County Community Health Center dba as the Ravenswood Family Health Center leads the civic community with a 2010 total expenditure e of $13,118,830.00. The median budget for a non-profit is $438,280.00.

Non- profits or the Civic Community represent the third leg of the three legged stool. Each of the three legs has a critical role to play in a community’s wellbeing. Most would not argue that a community that has all three legs as strong as possible is a community that is considered healthy for it is only then that the stool is strong enough to bear the community weight. Existing non-profits provide ample opportunities for residents and others to engage in improving the wellbeing of the community in practically every area of human life. Those interested can take up board of director volunteer positions with any one of the agencies that are listed in this publication. They can also work for the many organizations either as paid staff or as volunteers. Equally as important, they can donate funds, few or no organizations would refuse a donation of whatever amount. Failing all that, if there is no local organization addressing an existing community need, then by all means one can always join the civic community marketplace with another non-profit. The community will be the better for it.

History: • 1979- Self Help for Hard of Hearing People, Inc. (SHHH), is established and incorporated as a non-profit educational membership organization by CIA retiree Howard E. “Rocky” Stone of Bethesda, Maryland. The founding was primarily because there were no services for hard of hearing people, Having overcome the challenge of childhood poverty and a profound hearing loss, Rocky believed in the ability of individuals to help themselves; “I established SHHH as a membership organization run by people with hearing loss. We provide information necessary for them to make choices, but emphasize the choice must be theirs. The challenge is to develop togetherness within diversity.” • The office of SHHH is the family room of the Stone home. Furnishings were donated by ASHA. Funding is donated by the Stone family and personal friends. A brochure offers membership for $7. • 2006- Self Help for Hard of Hearing People, Inc.

History • 1979-Mid-Peninsula High School began with the closing of Cubberley High School within the Palo Alto Unified School District. Phil Bliss and Herman Ohme saw a need for student services that were not being met in the post Prop 13 public school system. Initially, Phil and Herman began working as advocates for families with students who were experiencing difficulty and dissatisfaction in the public school system or those who had undiagnosed learning differences. • Herman began schooling the first three Mid-Peninsula students in his living room. This was the beginning of Mid-Peninsula High School. In early 1980, Herman and Phil leased space at the now closed Cubberley High School in Palo Alto. By the end of the 19791980 academic year, the school had 40 students and one graduate. • 2001- After several years of locating at various sites in Palo Alto, on January 31, 2001, Mid-Peninsula took up residence at 1340 Willow Road in Menlo Park

He began his career as an attorney at a large Houston based law firm, where he was a senior partner and member of the executive committee. In 1980, Mr. Jaworski founded the American Leadership Forum, which focused on promoting civic leadership in the United States. In 1990 he joined the Royal Dutch/Shell Group in London to head their team of scenario planners. While there he radically altered the way the company looks at scenarios. Under his tenure Shell began to focus not only on predicting futures, but on creating better ones. Upon returning from London, Mr. Jaworski joined the Board of Governors at the MIT Center for Organizational Learning and co-founded the Society for Organizational Learning. • Joseph Jaworski began his career as an attorney at a Houston based law firm where he was a member of the firm’s executive committee. As a person with great interest in transformational leadership he over the years developed an unbending concern with the major public issues besetting the country as well as the fragmented and inadequate leadership that he saw was at the forefront of dealing with the problems. He envisioned an organization that would bring together leaders all sectors in communities across the country to hone their leadership skills, increase their capacity, and strengthen their commitment to work together on those issues. • In 1980, Jaworski and seventeen other prominent Americans including John Gardner, former secretary of Health, Education and Welfare; James MacGregor Burns, professor emeritus of Williams College; Warren Bennis, former professor at USC and a respected author; Tom Bradley, former mayor of Los Angeles; Harlan Cleveland, former ambassador to NATO and president of the World Academy of Art & Science; Rosabeth Moss Kanter, professor of business administration at Harvard Business School; and James B. Stockdale, vice admiral in the U.S. Navy launched the American Leadership Forum.

• Guided by their vision, ALF began in 1980 to Address a need for more skillful, more ethical, and more effective local leadership. They were convinced that if a cross-section of a community’s leadership in business, public service, academia, and the faith community cutting across ethnicity and gender could be brought together to work on public issues, no problem would be beyond solution. • In 1988 Ann DeBusk launched American Leadership Forum in the Bay Area with the first Silicon Valley class of fellows launching in 1989.

Beth Labson Freeman; Scott Garner; Dan Germain; Israel Klein; Steven LaVoie; James W. Lintott, Esq.; Jay Maguire; June Thurber Paine; Anne Raby Gates; Tom Warden History: • 1930-The idea for what is now known as the Junior State was first conceived by a Professor E.A. Rogers, then principal of the Montezuma Mountain School for Boys in California’s Santa Cruz Mountains. Prof. Rogers had long maintained that one of the primary needs of a democracy was to train its youth in the essentials of good government. He believed that without an informed populace, a democracy is worthless. • 1934, Prof. Rogers put the question

before his students. A student suggested a junior government program – an educational project to help create the statesmen and citizens of the future. Excited by the idea, the students began to set out the goals for their junior government. Non-partisan, non-sectarian, non-secret and non-profit, the organization would rise above the evils of propaganda and dirty politics. Students would not just learn about democracy, but would practice it among themselves. • The project soon spread to other high schools across California. The group thrived through its annual “summer school,” where young men and women were taught political science and public speaking. JSA – Junior Statesmen of America as it was then known – entered the ’70s invigorated by a supporting foundation which assisted students in the organization of their government and handled fund-raising and administration of the summer schools.

Schiel History: Clarissa Harlowe Barton at age 60 and a circle of her acquaintances founded the American Red Cross in Washington, D.C. on May 21, 1881. She led it for the next 23 years. Barton first heard of the Swiss-inspired global Red Cross network while visiting Europe following the Civil War. Returning home, she campaigned for an American Red Cross and for ratification of the Geneva Convention protecting the war-injured, which the United States ratified in 1882. The Red Cross has received congressional charters in 1900, 1905 and as recently as May 2007, each restating the traditional purposes of the organization : “ giving relief to

46 East Palo Alto Information 2014

and serving as a medium of communication between members of the American armed forces and their families and providing national and international disaster relief and mitigation”. Prior to the First World War, the Red Cross introduced its first aid, water safety, and public health nursing programs. With the outbreak of war, the organization experienced phenomenal growth. The number of local chapters jumped from 107 in 1914 to 3,864 in 1918 and membership grew from 17,000 to over 20 million adult and 11 million Junior Red Cross members. The public contributed $400 million in funds and material to support Red Cross programs, including those for American and Allied forces and civilian refugees. The Red Cross staffed hospitals and ambulance companies and recruited 20,000 registered nurses to serve the military. Additional Red Cross nurses came forward to combat the worldwide influenza epidemic of 1918. After World War II, the Red Cross introduced the first nationwide civilian blood program that now reportedly supplies more than 40 percent of the blood and blood products During the 1990s, it engineered a massive modernization of blood services operations.

Koinonia Farm was established in 1942 by farmer and biblical scholar Clarence Jordan. The Fullers first visited Koinonia in 1965.At Koinonia, Jordan and Fuller developed the concept of “partnership housing.” The concept centered on those in need of adequate shelter working side by side with volunteers to build simple, decent houses. • 1968, Koinonia laid out 42 half-acre house sites with four acres reserved as a community park and recreational area. Capital was donated from around the country to start the work. Homes were built and sold to families in need at no profit and no interest. The basic model of Habitat for Humanity was begun. • 1973, the Fullers decided to apply the Fund for Humanity concept in developing countries. The Fuller family moved to, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo.) The Fullers’ goal was to offer affordable yet adequate shelter to 2,000 people. After three years of hard work to launch a successful house building program, the Fullers returned to the United States. • 1976- In September, Millard and Linda called together a group of supporters to discuss the future of their dream. Habitat for Humanity International as an organization was born at this meeting. • 1984, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn took their first Habitat work trip, the Jimmy Carter Work Project, to New York City.

Rebecca and Leslie asked AEF to utilize its expertise and networks to build a program for people battling breast cancer. • AEF launched the new initiative in 2001. Rebecca lived to help found BCEF, but succumbed to breast cancer in 2002. • 2005-BCEF incorporated into a separate non-profit agency in 2005.

Box 2267 Menlo Park, CA 94026 Email: info@friendsofflood.org Web URL: http://friendsofflood.wordpress. com History of Flood Park Flood Park was once an unused portion of silver king, James C. Flood’s estate. Flood’s descendants were persuaded to sell the land to San Mateo County for $400 an acre in the 1930’s. Over the course of a year, Work Progress Administration (WPA) workers transformed the windswept grain field into what was later dedicated as Flood Park. Most of Flood Park’s adobe buildings were built in the 1930’s by the WPA workers using dirt, clay, straw, sand and an asphalt based waterproofing agent. In addition to the buildings erected in the park, a swimming pool was created for local residents and drew over 60,0000 admissions each summer in its heyday. Flood Park’s 61 by 100 foot, 180,000 gallon pool hosted regular swim meets in the 1950s and 1960’s. Both swimming and canoeing classes were taught in the pool! The antiquated pool was removed from the park in the 1970’s. In the 1980’s, Flood Park was modernized at a cost of $300,000. Local resident, Phyllis Cangemi (a victim of Hodgkin’s disease and confined to a wheelchair herself) spearheaded an effort to make Flood Park friendly to disabled people. Restrooms and water fountains were designed for wheelchair accessibility and swing sets and benches were carefully designed to accommodate the disabled. The Friends of Flood Park board is made up of Flood Park neighbors committed to supporting the park’s future! Friends of Flood Park, hopes to raise $250,000 from the local community to cover park maintenance costs. Friends of Flood Park in the long term plans to create an endowment to provide ongoing support for the park with the intention of preventing future park closures due to government budget woes.

History

Web URL: www.chacmv.org

1999-One day, while teaching business entrepreneurship as part of a public service fellowship in East Palo Alto four youngsters sought her for help. They wanted to drop out of high school and start a small business. She, after listening to their plans, agreed to help them on two conditions: they stay in school and improve academically. Under her guidance, all four students went on to graduate from high school and enter college. This experience inspired Suzanne to found BUILD and offer a four-year program that targets disengaged high school students in low-income communities and uses entrepreneurship to motivate them to stay and excel in school and to attend college.

MIGHT COST YOU BIG BUCKS Just because a product claims to be flushable, disposable, or biodegradable doesn’t mean it’s true. Wipes for babies, adults, pets or household cleaning can get caught on roots in sewer pipes and cause expensive sewer backups that overflow into houses, onto streets or into creeks. If you must use wipes, dispose of them in the trash. No matter what a label says, only human waste and toilet paper should be flushed down the toilet. Learn where to dispose of other non-flushable items at www.cleanbay.org, or call (650) 329-2598.
