I first would like to invite up supervisor fewer who is here in the audience. Thank you supervisor fewer, for your nomination. Thank you, commissioners. Thank you for allowing me today to enthusiastically support my recommendation for the prestigious legacy Business Award to the Hobby Company of San Francisco. It has been in existence for 44 years, i personally grew up with them as did my two children. Every art project, every science project, overnight parties, our dollhouse, all bought at the Hobby Company. Really moderately priced. Folks could actually go up there with her children and marvel at things that look at what craft could possibly do. These small treasures, in our neighborhoods, are completely losing ground in order they will have to relocate temporarily as they are upgrading the building. I think the Hobby Company really represents my neighborhood. It is open, it is friendly, and hires people from my neighborhood. As you can see, the current owner was once a worker at the Hobby Company. I have to say, if we did not have the Hobby Company, it would be a very big loss to my neighborhood, as we have all depended on that little store, on gary street, to supply us with all of our art supplies, but also things i think we aspire to be able to do craft right area i also wants, as im here today, so pleased to see that other stores and services are being nominated. I just want to give a shout out to yasukochis sweet stop, the lemon crunch i want to recommend that. Tin wah noodle co. , this is a staple in my refrigerator, as it is for i think a lot of asians in San Francisco. And National Japanese American Historical Society, inc. Who does these fabulous stories in japan town to actually make sure that the history of japan town, and the history of japanese americans in our country are not forgotten. Commissioners, thank you very much for your consideration today. We do have some beaker cards here. Hector collins, followed by rich ,.
