PresidentsMessageIs it really already November? Elections

for City Council are just around the corner on

the 8th and I want to encourage all Cupertino

residents to get out and vote. This is a very

important election, and the results will impact

the future of Cupertino for many years to

come. As you are aware, both the Cupertino

Chamber and the Mercury News have en-dorsed Mayor Gilbert Wong and Donna Aus-

tin as the most qualified candidates. Every

vote counts, so let your voice be heard!

A good time was had by all at the FestivAll joint mixer that was held

on October 12th. What a great networking opportunity to mix and mingle

with several thousand participants. It has been strongly suggested by a

number of members that we include this event as part of our annual mixer

calendar. If you have thoughts one way or another, please let me know.

As President of the Chamber of Commerce, I remain committed to

working on your behalf to promote the business environment here in Cu-

pertino. At the October 18th City Council meeting, I submitted a letter to

the Council, urging them to support streamlining the development permit

process. Streamlining this process will send a clear signal that our City is

committed to being a partner with businesses that are interested in either

expanding or relocating here. Please contact the Chamber if you have

additional suggestions or ideas on how the City can help your business

grow.

The Taste of Cupertino will be returning to Vallco Mall at 4:30 on Sat-

urday, November 12th. We have an even greater variety of restaurants

participating this year over 10 - and expect another sold-out event.

Dont miss your opportunity to win one of our great raffle prizes, including a

Issue #155 Cupertino Business New

By Darcy Paul, VP Legislative Action Council

People the world over wonder about the

economic success of Cupertino. How did a little

orchard-town manage to transform itself in fiftyyears from a farming community to the home of

one of the most diversely-perspectived

(apologies for the use of a non-word) populations

in the world, the largest company in the world,

with a community infrastructure that has

sustained a world-wide economic recession while

pouring more voluntary private funds into its

educational system to ensure that teachers arent

lost?

Put frankly, and with a fully acknowledged

sense of organizational self-aggrandizement, the

Cupertino Chamber of Commerce played no

small part in the beginning. At the time this

community still contained a majority of orchard

space, the Chamber, which predated

incorporation of the City, helped create the

municipal entity. From these roots, the

community inherited strong educational values,

and a hard-working, straightforward, honest

ethos, with the groups and people drawn to the

community since then of a like mind. These traits

were not so much some kind of philosophical pie-

in-the-sky social experiment as much as they

were basic necessities of an agriculturally-based

community. Why? In agriculture, the reasons

are obvious. If you dont water your plants, no

amount of imaginative accounting is going to

make your crop yields thrive. There is an

elemental honesty required in holding the farmer

accountable to the effort placed into nurturing the

farm or, such as the case has been in these

parts, the orchard.This area has experienced many iterations

and forms of economic success since that time,

and to be fully honest with ourselves, we have

not all always been immune to the easy money

mentality pervading the business world and

resulting in the massive collapses of such entities

as large energy companies and financial

investment firms. Still, with our ever-present

spirit of inquiry, innovation, and development, we

have of late returned more solidly to our rooted

principles. If Silicon Valley has taught us

anything in the last half-decade or so, it is that

sharp behavior and a win at all costs attitude

are not required in order for an individual, acompany, an organization, or a society to thrive.

Sacrificing integrity, intellectual consistency, and

honesty in the pursuit of a particular aim

eventually catches up to you, even if, and really,

especially if, you obtain the goal you thought you

wanted. The ends dont justify the means.

This is why there is cause for deep optimism

in our current environment. The emerging

generation has talent, drive, motivation,

perspective, and, most importantly, a conscience.

The current nationwide Occupy demonstration

peopled primarily by the younger generatio

belie a desire for our systems to work in a mo

honest, functional manner, and show us that th

energy needed to push our mechanisms

governance to do their job, not to look the oth

way, and to regulate fairly, effectively, an

efficiently that energy exists. To peer into theart of the sentiment driving thes

demonstrations, you must understand and fe

the perspective captured by the intern

publication Gizmodo, which recently state

Generation X Is Sick of Your the final word

not fit to print in this medium, but suffice it to sa

it involves solid biological material excreted by

bull.

Starting from this kind of foundation, t

transition into a sustainable larger economy w

happen, if we hold fast to the basic co

principles which were responsible for giving

both great fruit and great consumer electronic

We dont need to keep up with any kind misguided idiocy, and we dont need to hold for

entertaining behavior as some kind of templa

for our shared success. Instead, the defini

momentum of our times can tell those who follo

us that we all managed to be fa

compassionate, successful, amused, innovativ

educated, imaginative, and happy, all at t

same time. This will not be easy, but t

knowledge is there, the energy is brimming, a

the enthusiasm to make it happen bubbling rig

under the surface. And so, forward we go.

Assemblymember Fong wished the attendees

a Happy Diwali and congratulated the organizers

for putting on a great program. Diwali brings the

message of love and wisdom, of the triumph of

good over evil, and is a celebration of prosperity

and knowledge, said Assemblymember Fong.

The Cultural program was a smorgasbord of

sorts featuring multi cultural dance performances

and the ever popular crowd-pleasing Bollywood

dances.Diwali is an excellent opportunity to bring the

business community together to celebrate a

holiday that is very significant for the Indian

population, said Mahesh Nihalani, the event

chair organizer. The Diwali festival has proven to

be an excellent way to bridge our business

community with the residents of Cupertino
