Anybody have they items for new business . Seeing then next item commissioners item fourteen and i want to know there was any letters in your folder. Any motion for adjourn . With that meeting everyone deserves a bank account. In San Francisco, anyone can have a bank account, things to an innovative program, bank on s. F. Everyone is welcome, even if you are not a citizen or have bad credit to qualify for a bank account is simple. Just live or work in San Francisco and have a form of id. We started bank on s. F. Six years ago to reach out to folks in the city who do not have a bank account. We wanted to make sure they know they have options which should be more lowcost, more successful to them and using chat catchers. Check Cashing Stores can be found all over the city, but theyre convenient locations come with a hidden price. These are big. I remember coming in to collect charged a fee to collect a monogram. People who use check catchers, particularly those who use them to cash their paychecks all year long, they can pay hundreds, even a thousand dollars a year just in fees to get access to their pay. I do not have that kind of money. I would not have to pay it if i had a bank account. Bank accounts are essential. They keep your money saved and that helps save for the future. Most banks require information that may limit its pool of qualified applicants. Encouraging to turn to costly and unsafe check captures. I do not feel safe carrying the money order that i get home. Without a bank account, you are more vulnerable to loss, robbery, or theft. Thankfully, the program was designed to meet the needs of every kind, so qualifying for a bank account is no longer a problem. Even if you have had problems with an account in the past, have never had an account, or are not a u. S. Citizen, bank on s. F. Makes it easy for you to have an account. Many people do not have a bank account because they might be in the check system, which means they had an account in the past but had problems managing it and it was closed. That gives them no option but to go to a cash check catcher for up to seven years. You want to give these people second chance. To find account best for you, follow these three easy steps. First, find a participating bank or credit union. Call 211 or call one of our partner banks or Credit Unions and ask about the bank on s. F. Account. Both most bridges will have a sign in their window. Second, ask about opening an account through bank on s. F. A Financial Partner will guide you through this process and connect you with the account that is best for you. Third, bring some form of identification. The california id, for an id, or your passport is fine. Now you have open your account. Simple . That is exactly why it was designed. You can access your account online, set up direct deposit, and make transfers. It is a real bank account. It is very exciting. We see people opening up second accounts. A lot of these people never had account before. People who have problems with bank accounts, people without two ids, no minimum deposit. We are excited to have these people. It has been a Great Partnership with bank on s. F. Because we are able to offer checking, savings, minimarkets, certificates, and loans to people who might not be about to get accounts anywhere else. Even if you have had a previous account at another financial institutions, we can still open an account for you, so you do not need to go to a Check Cashing place, which may turn to two percent of your monthly income.

Listen to the rehearsal. I think it is fun for them, they see our work process, our discussions, the decisions we make. It is good for us. We kind of behavior little bit when we have people in the audience. Msk music we are rehearsing for our most expensive tour; plus two concerts here. We are proud that the growth of the orchestra, and how it is expanded and it is being accepted. My ambition when i came on as music director here it was evident we needed absolutely excellent work. Also evident to me that i thought everyone should know that. This was my purpose. And after we opened, which was a spectacular opening concert about five weeks after that the economy completely crashed. My plan and im absolutely dogmatic about my plans were delayed slightly. I would say that in this very difficult timefor the arts and everyone, especially the arts, its phenomenal how new century has grown where many unfortunate organizations have stopped. During this period we got ourselves on National Radio presence; we started touring, releasing cds, a dvd. We continue to tour. Reputation grows and grows and grows and it has never stopped going forward. Msk music the bay area knows the orchestra. You maybe take things for granted a little bit. That is simply not the case will go on the road. The audiences go crazy. They dont see vitality like this on stage. We are capable of conveying joy when we play. Msk music any performance that we do, that a program, that will be something on the program that you havent heard before. String orchestra repertoire is pretty small. I used to be boxed into small repertoire. I kept constantly looking for new repertoire and commissioning new arrangements. If you look at the first of the program you have very early, young vibrant mendelson; fabulous opener and then you have this fabulous concerto written for us in the orchestra. Is our gift. Msk music and then you have strauss, extraordinary piece. The most challenging of all. String orchestra work. 23 solo instrument, no violin section, now viola section; everybody is responsible for their part in this piece. The challenge is something that i felt not only that we could do , absolutely could do, but i wanted to show off. I cant tell you how aware i am of the audience. Not only what i hear but their vibes, so strong. I have been doing this for a long time. I kind of make them feel what i want them to feel. There is nobody in that audience or anywhere that is not going to know that particular song by the fourth note. And that is our encore on tour. By the way. I am proud to play it, we are from San Francisco. We are going to play that piece no matter where we are
