Tom Brady <br /> Roberta Carcione <br /> The entire cost of the Day is $34,050 (see enclosed budget). Major corporations Herm Christensen <br /> will be asked $10,000 to sponsor the event. Both the Agency and corporate Shawn DeLuna <br /> sponsors have assisted with contributions since we launched Immigrants Day five umang Gupta <br /> years ago. Smaller donations from local businesses and individuals will be used to <br /> make up the balance of the budget. The Agency will be credited in all our John Inglis <br /> promotional materials, including banners, fliers and ads.

In addition the Association Patrick Ryan <br /> operates the Sanchez Adobe of Pacifica and the Woodside Store at Tripp and Kings Cynthia L. Schreurs <br /> Mountain Roads. The Association's annual budget is $1.2 million of which less Paul Shepherd <br /> than 15% is provided by the County. We raise and earn the rest of the revenues Mitch Postel <br /> needed for our museum and historic sites. President <br /> President's <br /> Advisory Board <br /> Leading citizens of the Peninsula formed the Association in 1935. Our Museum <br /> was housed at the College of San Mateo until 1998, when we moved it to Redwood Al Acena, Ph.D. <br /> City. Since that time, $20 million have been spent on improvements on this Arthur H. Bredenbeck <br /> museum block with major government support from FEMA, the State of California, Frank Baldanzi <br /> San Mateo County, and, of course, the Redwood City Redevelopment Agency. John Clinton <br /> About $10 million of the $20 million came in the form of private contributions. Robert M. Desky <br /> T. Jack Foster, Jr. <br /> Among our recent (2006) improvements at the History Museum is the installation Georgi LaBerge <br /> of a permanent exhibit gallery dedicated to the immigrant experience on the Greg Munks <br /> Peninsula. This $1 million portion of the museum is engaging, educational, and John Schrup <br /> highly interactive. This subject is of great interest to the people of San Mateo Tom Siebel <br /> County and their visitors. Most people realize that an estimated 30% of the people <br /> of the County today have been born in another country. Far fewer realize that back <br />
