The mission of San Mateo PAL is to build a bond between cops and kids, focusing our efforts on our at-risk youth and families. In collaboration with our community supporters and partners, we strive to create a safe society while promoting the physical, social, and mental development of our youth. To achieve this mission, San Mateo PAL provides high quality developmental, recreational, and educational activities to the youth of San Mateo and surrounding communities at little or no cost for our youth who otherwise might not have these opportunities. Membership itself is free! San Mateo PAL utilizes police officers and recreational leaders as coaches, teachers, and mentors to thousands of youth, families, and the community. San Mateo PAL believes that by fostering positive interactions and developing lasting relationships between police officers and youth, we are developing better citizens for the future. PAL is a non-profit organization supported by a dedicated Board of Directors comprised of many corporate and community leaders whose fundraising efforts and other support ensure that our youth will be provided a strong foundation for their future. 2 Dear PAL Supporters and Community Citizens, San Mateo PAL has had another exceptional year offering hundreds of opportunities to youth in San Mateo and the surrounding areas, creating happy life long memories and positive bonding experiences between cops & kids. During our 2017 – 2018 fiscal year, we focused our efforts to help level the playing field for our members by offering high-quality activities such as: competitive soccer, ice hockey, music and STEM classes at a very low cost or, in some cases, no cost to the member. These services were provided to over 1,000 boys and girls in our community, many of whom would not otherwise have the opportunity to participate on a competitive soccer team or to take ice hockey lessons, attend a week-long STEM camp, learn Darren Kelley to play the ukulele, go camping & deep-sea fishing with police officers, and/or visit local corporations for career development.

Sincerely, PAL Chair 2017-2018 3 PAL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT If you haven’t had a chance to meet Officer Tracey Unga yet, PAL’s new Executive Director, here’s your intro- duction. Tracey has been an officer with SMPD for 10 years now, spending 5 as a School Resource Officer at San Mateo High School. She has always been committed to PAL throughout her career, even being recognized as PAL’s Officer of the Year in 2012. She was also recognized for her service to San Mateo’s Polynesian youth in 2016. Married to a Sheriff’s Deputy, they have four children, who attend schools within the San Mateo School District. Tracey is excited about her role in PAL and looks forward to getting out into the community and spreading PAL’s mission of “Building the Bonds Between Cops & Kids!” Dear PAL Family & Supporters, What an amazing year it has been here at PAL! We are thrilled to be able to share with you all of the amazing work we’re doing in the community thanks to all of you! In the past year, the unique collaboration between San Mateo Police and San Mateo Parks and Recrea- tion Departments has once again made a significant im- pact. PAL works hard everyday to make sure we level the play- ing field for all youth by keeping our programs low to no cost and making them accessible to all, therefore, keeping kids on track, in school and out of jail. PAL ensures that we promote the physical and social development of our youth, creating a safer community one program at a time. By participating in PAL activities, our youth have access to new experiences that pro- vide lasting developmental benefits. PAL’s after school programs and activities have proven to reduce crime, victimization and aid in youth development. Throughout the year, PAL enhances the overall learning experi- ence for kids, providing positive role modeling, coaching, mentoring and accessibility. We create productive, engaged youth, who succeed in school and in their lives. Here at PAL, we believe that regardless of where you live or how much money you have, all kids are at risk. Our focus is to provide the opportunity and ability for our youth to access a variety of programs in order to create well-rounded individuals. As PAL’s Executive Director, I am humbled by the opportunity to serve the youth in our community. Being able to witness firsthand the way PAL enhances and changes these young people lives is truly amazing and life changing. The enormous amount of community and donor support is overwhelming and speaks to what a wonderful community we have right here in San Mateo. I am blessed to be able to do this work every day and I look forward to all that PAL continues to offer. Sincerely, “Thank you very much. I’m so Thankful for everything you did to [sic] my children and to [sic] myself. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart God Officer Tracey Unga PAL Executive Director bless you all.” -Clotilde Lopez (PAL Parent) 4 PAL Ice Hockey • Youth Served: 64 kids, aged 5 - 18 • FREE (valued at $250, skates & gear provided) • Taught by volunteer Police Officers • Promotes athletic prowess, confidence, pride, focus, comradery & responsibility • Increases physical activity, health, nutrition and wellness PAL STEAM • Youth Served: 80 students (20 students/session & 40 summer campers, aged 8-13) • FREE (valued between $400-$600) • Hands-on, screen and project-based learning, focused on Coding (Computer Science), Making (Design) & Robotics (Engineering) • Helps students access opportunities they wouldn’t normally have while giving them a safe space to be them- selves, to learn, to feel, to be seen & to be heard.

It is blessed with nature’s gifts and a heritage reflecting the rich tapestry of America. Its mild Mediterranean climate, fertile earth and forest bounty defined the region’s fortunes for two hundred years and more. Gradually, major agriculture took root. And today, the Gilroy region has grown to become a cornucopia of specialist horticulture – vegetable crops, greens, seeds and fruits of the vine. In particular, Gilroy’s massive garlic production is nationally renowned, and the annual festival sees the city lay claim to the title: ‘garlic capital of the world’. Clearly visible on the region’s horizon is a future even more rewarding and more sustainable than could ever have been imagined by Gilroy’s early ranchers, horticulturists and viticulturists. 4 DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO SAN JOSE? 5 DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO SAN JOSE? Silicon Valley’s behemothic spread is fanning the winds of optimism throughout the valley.
