Family and loved ones, Pay Attention to your surroundings. There is nothing more important than vigilance. If we are to be a resilient city, there is some basic things that we can do. If youre using your a. T. M. , block your p. I. N. Number so it is not visible. Really basic thing. But unfortunately we still have people if our society that will make a living and make a profit off of stealing p. I. N. Numbers and then getting into your bank account and taking your funds. Block your p. I. N. Numbers. Make sure you look at your surroundings when you are at the a. T. M. No matter what you are, look at your surroundings. If you are driving to your location, number one, Public Transportation is great here. Take advantage of Public Transportation. But if you are driving, make sure you lock your car, first of all. Make sure that you put things away that are visible. If you have a trunk, put it in the trunk. Dont leave valuables if your car. We have a program were calling park smart. It has been very successful. But that means to park smart. Dont leave your valuables if your car for somebody else to take them away. The last thing you want to do have your hold day season ruined by somebody else breaking your car window and taking out the things that you work hard to provide your family and friends and loved ones. So park smart. The next thing, if you are shoppinging, make sure when you some people will shop and theyll go and load up their car and then go and shop. There are things you can do to prevent being an easy victim for that. If you are shopping, if you are going to load your car, take the time to move your car to another location. Because people that are going to prey on innocent people, they do watch what you do. So move your car around. I know it is a little bit of an inconvenience, but it does help. If youre Walking Around with packages and loaded up on the arm, again Pay Attention to your surroundings because you dont want to become easy prey. Our city overall is a very safe city. But there are things that we can do to be resilient and individual lends and some of these things may sound like common sense. When you are caught in the moment of the day sometimes you lose track of what you are doing and you get distracted. The main thing is to Pay Attention. Pay attention to what you are doing. If you do that your resiliency goes up and your vigilance goes up. The last thing is look out for your neighbors. If you see something, say something. The cell phones that i just mentioned, be safe in doing so. But if you have a situation where you need to call 311 or 911, do that. 911 is an emergency situation. Somebody is getting a, thated f you see a crime in progress, thats a 911 call. If your car gets broken into and there is no danger, that is a 311 call. Well get there and take a report. Or you can do that report online. I want to end this on a positive note. I started this with this season is all about giving, sharing and taking care of each other. I think if we do that, that is a resilient San Francisco that we all know we can be. Lets take care of each other and be a community and enjoy your holiday season. Thank you very much. [applause] thank you, chief. As i mentioned earlier, the shop and dine the 49 campaign is a partnership with the Small Business community but also with other government leaders. It is my honor to introduce and recognize our s. B. A. District representive, fewly appointed just a couple of months ago. Come on up, julie. [applause] good morning. First of all, mayor lee and chief scott for your great support of the Small Business community. S. B. A. Is really proud to cosponsor, again, Small Business saturday with American Express and women impacting public policy. They have been tremendous supporters of this initiative across the country. And i know jason and lynn are here today and we have a representative from American Express. Thank you for your dedication and your support of the Small Business community. We have been part of this or the Small Business saturday has been around since 2010 and its really been exciting to watch this initiative grow year after year. Last year was a recordbreaking year with about 112 Million Consumers out shopping small and dining small across the country. They saw 68 increase in the neighborhood champions can. I know this year with all this momentum and excitement, maybe fueled by a little sugar from the ice cream, that we can even beat those numbers. Im looking forward to seeing everyone out and about on saturday. In your various communities. So why Small Business . I mean, we all know Small Businesses create jobs, they fuel the local economy, spark innovation. Thats all true. But Small Businesses are more than that. They are actually what makes our communities unique. It helps us define our neighborhoods. So, when you support a Small Business, you are supporting your friends and neighbors. They tend to hire from a local community. They tend to support local initiatives. Philanthropic events. So when these Small Businesses thrive, we all benefit. So, at s. B. A. , of course, were here to be your Small Business resource. So any Small Business loaners out there today, know that you have the skills and talent and ambition, but if you ever need a little bit of help, s. B. A. Is here to help you as well, where you need counseling, training, financial assistance, or youre looking for new opportunities such as exporting or government contracting. Please remember to call upon us. But the message for the takeaway today is saturday. Please go out, take your friends and neighbors and remind them it is Small Business saturday. Go shop at your Favorite Local merchants, go dine at your favourite local restaurant and if you have out of town guests, this is the perfect time to show off all those fun places that you love and adore to patronize on a daily basis. So i encourage everyone to amplify this message and encourage all of your friends and neighbors to shop small and dine small. [applause] thank you, julie. As you all know, what this ultimately is about is about the Small Businesses and were doing this to support them, to support their vitality in the city. It is an honor to be able to welcome up matthew lunn whos the owner of jefferys toys. Now jefferys toys was nominated by mayor lee as a legacy business. They have been around since 1938 in San Francisco. And that is a really long time. I know matthew is going to explain a little more action their story. But i want to welcome you up there to tell that story for all of us. [applause] thank you. First up i want to say that my dad and my step mom are the owners of jefferys toys. Im here as one of the supporters of jefferys toys. You know, when i was born, it was not it was pretty unusual that my parents owned the most familyrun toy stores in the bay area. Find that as a normal way to grow up as a kid. Prison awesome when it is your birthday or a holiday, right . But my parents didnt start the toy stores, jeffery toys. My grandparents operated it before them and then my great grand parents are really the ones that started the toy stores. Wow. What a great way to grow up. All that creativety and play and uniqueness made me want to continue to live a life where i could play and be creative. And i ended up working at pixar at the very beginning when the studio began. On toy story. No coincidence, right . [applause] [laughter] and you Better Believe when we needed to give reference on what toys would be in that film, you know the toy store we went to, we went to jefferys toys toy story one, two, and three. I spends over half my life at pixar, which has been awesome. When i hear that the toy store was being closed down on market street, it broke my heart. I was like this cannot be possible in a city that is all about creativity and play and uniqueness. We cant lose jefferys toys. That is when i came in and said to my dad and stepmom, there is no way were letting this happen. And then with the support of the city, support of the mayor and the legacy program, we were able to just open up our toy store once again in the city, just a couple of months ago. So, we think we think we can still safely say weve been here since 1966. But, you know, in a world of amazon and walmart and all this, people still want an experience. People still want to come in and be able to touch the toys, be able to touch the productses, to be able to have an experience. The same kind of experience you get when you see a film. Right . People still want that. And in the city that is the most, in my opinion, the most creative, unique city in the world, we gotta have a toy store. We gotta have shopping and dining experiences that are one of a kind. So were so happy to be part of this shop and dine in the 49 and, once again, since 1966, creating a fun place, a creative place for people to come and buy their toys. So, thank you. [applause] in closing, i think matthew hit on a good point which isnt just about shopping or dining, this is about experiencing in the 49. I obviously believe there is no better place to spend the holidays, but also year round than here in San Francisco. And on that note, on the note of experience, i think with the closing of this event, i think you are going to take us on a tour of the Ice Cream Museum here and maybe the chief and everybody here can join the mayor and maybe we go and check out the sprinkle pole just down the way [laughter] and see everything that the Ice Cream Museum has to offer. Thank you for joining us today. Thank you to all of our partners for your support. Have a wonderful and safe holiday season. Thank you. [applause] [music] i came in with her impression of what i thought it was good what i knew about auditing with the irs spears i actually knew nothing about auditing in my mind it was purely financial. With people that audited the pain no one wants to deal with it now i see a lot of time explaining auditing is not just about taxes. Oftentimes most students believe that auditing is only financial whereas when they come into a Government Environment we do much more than financial audits. We do operational audits that were looking at the operations of the department for economy and efficiency and effectiveness. When i hire an intern some of the things that i am looking for first of all is is this individual agile and flexible because i am our environment is so fastpaced and where are switching from project to project depending on whats going on in the government at any given time. Primarily i didnt with audits on utilities management across city departments. Citywide this ods management audit was also been assisting with Housing AuthorityAudit Program the homelessness audit the it functions [inaudible] were starting any water on the department of Public Housing environment allows i also assist with the [inaudible] program. Then additionally i really enjoyed having staff who have some Critical Thinking skills. Because i believe the basis of auditing is not do you know how to audit, but to have Critical Thinking skills [inaudible] [inaudible] even though ive only been here for short time our quick indepth analysis and Research Analytical skills theres a lot of taking enlargement of information a compacting it a very concise report because weve a big focus on [inaudible] if youre transmitting this information to the audience you need him to be able to understand it. So i work with the Sparrow Program primarily. Broadway stan abused [inaudible] they prepare me for fulltime employment because i knew i could not to challenge myself in order to be an auditor. At the [inaudible] we are a content feedback and communication and they pointed out areas where i need to grow. One of the things i like about working at [inaudible] is that they actually give you quite a bit of autonomy i feel like kevin sage trusted me. The environment really [inaudible] to everyone feeling super collaborative and wanting to get to know one another. Which i think at the end of the date is a better Work Environment and gives you a better workflow. I believe that a really is a great experience because it provides an opportunity to have a better understanding of how government works. I think what ive learned so far is that every audit is unique everyday. Different learning opportunities. The recordation we make in on its i can honestly go home at the end of the day and zack and treated [inaudible] in a better way. Even of not familiar with what auditing is you should deftly find out. Its been really really awesome he was it turns out theres a whole world of auditing that i cannot open file oriented performance and [inaudible] and thats an exciting. Audit is a lot broader than i ever knew before. Well, it gives us great pleasure to be in San Francisco for the coverage or our flesh tour. I would ask you to all to join me welcoming our host, dr. Kitka from 360. Thank you all for coming. Health care is a right. Now, normally, we shout this from the roof tops, but covered california kind of took care of that for us because they actually painted it from the to have tops roof tops, so on behalf of the 35,000 clients from roof tops 360 [ inaudible ] its not a very big room, so on behalf of the 35,000 Health Care Clients of health care 360, i thank you for this gift. When we took the leap to move into this new building, 50,000 square feet of welcoming integrated health care services, it was for one single reason that we knew without any reservation that health care is a right and not a privilege, and having this message emblazoned on our building empowered us not only as service providers, but every person who passes by, which is a lot of people. Theres a three way off ramp right there. So peter lee and the amazing cover california team, thank you. We are so proud to be a canvas for your beautiful work. Mayor lee, supervisor breed, mayor kim, thank you for being here today and for your unending support for the communities you serve. And to everyone, covered california is going to have a long open enrollment period. Dont wait. So sign up for coverage now. Thank you. Thank you so much, and its such a pleasure to be here in San Francisco, but in particular, its a pleasure to be here in health right 360. I think some of you know some of the members of the health care 360 family have very deep roots in San Francisco and california. Two i want to call out, the haightashbury client in, is part of the oldest is the oldest Health Care Clinic in San Francisco. And del martin, one of the oldest communities established for the gay and Lesbian Community and serving us for more than 30 years. The reason were doing this program here, health care is a right, and this billboard is going to be here, because like the clinics, we are woven into the fabric of this community and this state, so this has been something of a wild ride in washington. All this talk about repeal and replace, sometimes people are confused about whats happening in washington. We in california are not confused. The Affordable Care act is the law of the land. We have provided coverage through medical in Southern California to 5 million californians, and while it is a roller coaster in washington, it is not a roller coaster in california. Were not taking people for a ride. Were making sure that people get kompl, and that its affordable coverage. One of the reasons we have coverage in california, we have hard working people in washington and in sacramento, and i want to appreciate representatives of Congress Woman nancy pelosi, and youll hear it from several people, including mayor ed lee. There is some confusion in washington, but lets be clear. Here in california, 1. 1 million neighbors get coverage through covered california. For them, their Health Care Costs will go down on average in 2018. Were making a difference in millions of peoples lives, so how do you do that . People are financially eligible, get that financial leg up. Without getting that financial leg up, many would not be able to support coverage, and were trying to get the mess amg out, open enrollment, short period, but here in california, its three months. Its gone through the end of january , but we want people to sign up by the middle of december, december 15th, because if you do, youll have coverage for the entire year. You can go to our website, and in two minutes, you can find out if youre eligible for financial help, and the back news is theres 700,000 californians that are eligible for financial help who have not signed up. They are one minute away from finding out if theyre eligible for health care that may cost them 50, 100. They have people that will help them sign up, some of the the hundreds of organizations, there are thousands of people ready to hem them enroll, and that help is there today. So with that, im very please to introduce first mayor ed lee. Hes taking the initiative to make sure we truly dont leave people behind. Mayor ed lee. Okay. That was a great introduction. Blown away. All right. Welcome, everybody. I am so thrilled to join peter and covered california, of course, president breed, who is already Pretty Healthy because she was at the exercise room this morning before going to work, and she was talking on the phone while she was doing her exercises, so i know shes keeping healthy. You know, it is ten times better so have insurance than to not have insurance, and while its been a challenge to get the Affordable Care act, while we have it, peters absolutely right. Lets take advantage of the affordablity that all of the wonderful people at covered california have done in partnership with us as a city, but also with health right 360, because they dont just work by themselves, they work with Community Based organizations. Peters described some of them. I happen to know chinese supporter health care i happen to know blue cross blue shield, high numbers, 36,000 people enrolled, and not only do we want all 3700 to reapply and to do it comfortably in the next few months, we want more people so that they come out of the unsured category. Weve done a pretty good job. In fact our uninsured number of people is less than 5 because of covered california. It is also less because we werent just stopping covered california is a wonderful thing, and its so good that we even added our own program to it, our San Francisco health plan to make sure additional people can be covered. This is how much enjoyment and how serious we take peoples health. In our Chinese Community and asian community, if you dont have good health, you cant help anybody else, and this is why covered california is a principal part its something that we not over fought for, but lets not confuse, as peter says, that because theyre having the debate and ups and downs in washington d. C. Doesnt mean we cant get the Health Care Coverage for people right here in california, and i want to also address my thanks to apexer because i think youve got to have the branding with it, and with the buses that covered california are going around, youre not going to be able to miss it even if it gets to you late. Okay [ inaudible ] i want to make sure it gets to all of the destinations. I understand, peter, youre going to go to some 22 spots and make sure, not just at these speeches, but the visuality of making it easy for people to enroll, making sure that people take care of themselves, and that is the whole point of this. Our health is value. We dont want people to take up all the emergency spots that we have for people who truly have an emergency as the zuckerberg General Hospital does for all of us, so be healthy, make sure you have that insurance, and were going to be saying this in spanish, in chinese, in tagalog, and in all the other languages, that we want to make sure people have that access, so congratulations, covered california. Itll be our privilege to bring this not only back to San Francisco to make sure everybody get reapplies and make sure we stay healthy. Thank you for being here thank you so much. Can we have our board president breed come up and say a few remarks. And you dont look very sweaty after your work out this morning. You look great. Thank you, thank you. Its easier for the mayor to get ready after a workout because he doesnt have to do his hair like i do, but its wonderful to be here, and i want to thank the mayor for choosing health care 360 which has been providing health care to our communities in the city and county of San Francisco for more than 50 years, so it is appropriate of the 13 locations that have been chosen to display this amazing piece of art by this incredible artist apexer, thank you that we made sure that we art in places that demonstrate what our values are as a city, and this is the exact place where it needs to be based on its reputation, based on the work that they continue to do, and based on the continued needs. As the mayor pointed out, 37,000 people signed up for covered california, and 80 of those people qualify for subsidies, but we know there are 30,000 people out there in the city and county of San Francisco who qualify and dont know that they qualify and could use the benefit of health care. When i was in college, i remember leaving home and thinking what am i going to do . It was expensive, i had a few schol arrestships. I had to pay for the Greyhound Bus to come back and forth from home, but i didnt have health care, but i just prayed where nothing bad would happen where i didnt have to go to the hospital or go to the dentist, things the
