Mishwa Lee, the driving force behind the Northridge
CommUNITY Garden Volunteer of the Year, was named at SF Parks
Alliance's Love Your Parks Day

with a $5,000 grant to her garden project. Mishwa and others were
celebrated at an event that featured bike powered music from Shake Your Peace.
BRITE, a Bayview advocacy group, tells Footprints it
has been named one of nine new SF Travel Partners. As
a Travel Partner, BRITE will have the opportunity to learn from professionals
how to attract visitors to Bayview, how to present visitor highlights, how to
include Bayview sights and tastes in official travel literature like maps, city
guides and other marketing collateral. For more information, contact
Alka Joshi.
Jeffrey Betcher received a Pollinator Award which
will support the Quesada Gardens General Store project, and promote
local entrepreneurs and products. The unusual grant making program gives
a $1,000 grant each day to boost progressive efforts to meet the needs of
under-served communities and an environmentally-challenged planet. The
Quesada Gardens General Store builds on ten years of food production in
Bayview, and the recent launch of a line of jams and sauces.
