Why attend?
1. Honoring Pedro for the heroic act in coming to aid a SF Police officer while he was being attacked as well as for apprehending the attacker.
2. An opportunity to meet with Supervisor Campos
3. An opportunity to meet with Police officers so they can share their experience with the neighborhood and receive feedback
4. Meet the AB Martial Artist Management team and learn more about their Program that helps disadvantage kids.
The event was born out the need to engage members of the community to the Portola Watch group, as well as highlight the street lighting project. This also coincided with the gym moving into the corridor, and the incident involving Pedro Arrigoni, who came to the rescue of Officer Chou (1 of San Bruno's beat officers) who was being assaulted by a belligerent citizen. We approached the gym about hosting something, and they expressed that they had wanted to do a grand opening event. It only seemed to make sense to collaborate in doing this. The event will have two parts: a press conference to kick it off, and then grand opening with demonstrations/break off session with snacks and refreshments. Attending and/or endorsing the event are David Campos, Malia Cohen, David Chiu, Captain Chignell, Chief Suhr, SAFE, PG&E, SFPD, NVP. We will also be asking for small donations/endorsements from businesses on the corridor to help sponsor a program at the gym that provides scholarships for disadvantaged neighborhood youth to train with AB. Hopefully we can attract residents and merchants to attend and make this a success... the gym has pledged to bring some of their members as well.
