Park known as mbs was a valuable asset and there are no discussions around the park and we need to revisit to insure that the children can develop the healthy physical skills they need. And i myself grew up. And we need to also, continue to promote the higher education. And let them know that their education can help them escape the poverty and bringing along the services and the programs up to the hunters view park or to the things like that and it would really help and so i am also here and in support to open up a discussion on what to do with the park.

Francisco Arts Commission where we got the journalists and do the profile of the amazing people to do the work in the bay view and from that community, profiling their expenses what their committed to, and those were in the broadcast on the radio. And we had an event that was packed to the gills with the people that were excited to hear the stories from the community and it was an emotional night and a powerful night and to me it is one night.
