Have you ever wished that certain streets in your community were improved?
Are you concerned about funding for elementary schools or the cost of education at
community colleges and public universities? Do you believe that there should be
more opportunities to purchase affordable housing in San Mateo County?
Do you have an elderly person in your family who is affected by a reduction in benefits
or services?
Do you know someone in the military who is stationed in Iraq?

"Stories I Never Told My Father"
By Mikaya Strickling
You know we all have pain and we all have our own way of dealing with it.
Some of us let our pain fester, hoping it will go away by itself only to see it

Three upgraded and
one brand new
By Laura Savage
Who would have known ten years ago that Jack Farrell
Park would again be enjoyed by so many children? A

East Palo Alto police officer as well as other local residents
