In 2006. The two pastry chefs who started it, chris hoover and walker who is sams wife, supplied all the pastries and bakeries for the market. They found a space on the block to do that and the ice cream kind of came as an afterthought. They realized the desire for ice cream and we now have lines around the corner. So, thats been a huge success. In 2008, sam started 18 reasons, which is our community and event space where we do five events a week all around the idea of bringling people closer to where the food comes from and closer to each other in that process. 18 reasons was started almost four years ago as an educational arm of their work. And we would have dinners and a few classes and we understood there what momentum that people wanted this type of engagement and education in a way that allowed for a more indepth conversation. We grew and now we offer i think we had nine, we have a series where adults learned home cooking and we did a teacher Training Workshop where San Francisco

My other issue is that if you work for the city and you did not join the service in San Francisco, you cannot take advantage of the City Contracting you for your active duty military years. Well, i served and fought right along with San Francisco marines and i would like to see that changed. Im probably the only veteran in the city to say that, but im saying that because it not only serves up the veteran right that served on active duty, but it also helps the city by moving people along.

And id like to move along and retire so that i can devote more time to helping veterans because i can see where theres a lot of need and a lot of areas where veterans can be helped, particularly in the areas of employment. When i was at the Community Center, i put a lot of people to work in construction and i privately made veterans a priority when i was putting them in the Construction Apprenticeship programs because i remembe
