BARBARA WOOD 26 |COMMUNITY 27 |CLASSIFIEDS 35 Hillview graduates move on to high school Hillview Middle School’s class of eighth-graders had their moment in the sun with a graduation ceremony at 5 p.m. Friday, June 5, on the campus blacktop with musical accompaniment by the Hillview Band. Chosen by the graduating class to speak at the ceremony was retiring Principal Mike Moore, who shared his thoughts and insights with both graduates and parents. The ceremony culminated with Mr. Moore’s presentation of the class of 2009, to their core teachers, who handed out diplomas to the 224 graduating students from the Menlo Park City School District. Assisting the core teachers were two of Hillview’s science teachers, Alicia Payton and Susan Arrington, who were also chosen by the graduates. A reception for the graduates and their guests, hosted by parents of the seventh-grade class, took place immediately after the ceremony. A grad night party, sponsored by the graduates’ parents and held in the school’s multi-use room, was set for later that evening.

Rotary awards $72,000 in scholarships Seventeen seniors from local high schools received $67,000 in scholarships from the Rotary Club of Menlo Park last week in ceremonies at the club’s regular meeting. All the students have been accepted into four-year colleges, including Berkeley, Santa Clara, USC and the University of the Pacific in the west to Smith, Brown and Williams College in the east. The Rotary grants ranged from $2,000 to $5,000 and are given directly to the colleges to pay for tuition and other expenses. Three weeks ago the club awarded $15,000 in scholarships to 10 students who will attend local community colleges. The winning students received grants of $1,000 or $2,000 and were identified by school counselors, who passed their recommendations on to a Rotary scholarship committee. To qualify for the four-year college scholarships, students submitted a lengthy written application that included their academic record, community service and financial need, and then were interviewed by a Rotary committee, which selected the winning candidates. Twenty-six students from Menlo-Atherton, Sacred Heart, Eastside Preparatory and East Palo Alto Charter high schools applied. A number of the scholarships are named in honor of past and current Rotary club members, including John D. Russell, Robert Paroli, Ormand and Doris Rector, Arthur Flegel, the Tsui/Tsiang family and Drue Kataoka. A business and professional scholarship is underwritten by numerous local businesses.

Bidding adieu to Woodside School Eighth-grade students at Woodside Elementary School on Friday, June 12, strolled across the soccer field to the school’s amphitheater and began the commencement ceremony for the Class of 2009. The class has a total of 51 graduates. The Woodside School Band, directed by Beth Dameron, played “Pomp and Circumstances” as the students enter the amphitheater. Students Alexis Clark and Jack Power led classmates, families and friends in the salute to the flag and singing of the national anthem. The class of 2009 sang “Welcome the Wherever You Are,” popularized by Bon Jovi, as the class song. Superintendent/Principal Diana See WOODSIDE, page 26 June 17, 2009 ■ The Almanac ■ 25 F A M I L Y A L M A N A C D IS PATCH ES from the home front Letter to my daughter, after her last race T o my dear daughter: A few weeks ago your dad and I went to Gilroy to see you run the last race of your BARBARA WOOD high school career. You told us you didn’t understand why we wanted to watch. “I’m just going to come in last,” you said. But what you don’t understand, my feisty, beautiful, independent girl, is that we love to watch you even when you don’t win. We want to be there, in the stands, cheering you on, even when you do come in last. There have been many moments in your life when we have watched you and nearly burst with pride at your accomplishments: when your project went all the way to the state science fair; when the pig you raised was reserve grand champion at the county fair; when you broke away from a defender and, red hair streaming like molten fire, raced down the soccer field and scored a goal; when, in the league championship, you came from behind in the last 100 yards of a mile race and passed three girls. But there were the other times we watched you with just as much pride: as a baby, sleeping, one of the most beautiful things we’d ever seen. On stage, in the eighth-grade operetta, where even though you didn’t get the role you’d wanted, the director gave you half a dozen smaller ones, and, to us, you were the best thing on the stage. All those times your team didn’t win the soccer game, when your pig wasn’t the best, when you didn’t win the race, when someone else got the honors, you were still a winner to us. Yes, it was a thrill to watch you up on that stage graduating from high school as one of the valedictorians. But it was also a thrill to watch you drive off to school, alone, the day after you got your driver’s license; to see you fill out your voter’s registration card when you turned 18; to watch you head through security at the airport on your way to Africa to spend the summer teaching Photo by Caitlin Fitzpatrick Brenna Fitzpatrick relaxes after receiving her diploma from Woodside High School on June 5. She was one of two valedictorians. children in Malawi how to avoid AIDS and malaria. What matters to us, Brenna, isn’t if you win or lose, but the fact that you have compassion in your heart, inner strength, independence, the courage to question authority, and the guts to run a race, even when you believe you will come in last. You probably don’t want to hear this, but I am more proud of you for being a vegetarian and for your dreadlocks than I am of you for being admitted to Berkeley, and New York University, and Tufts, and five other universities. You have a big heart, and it is in the right place, and that is what matters. I have never been more proud of you than when you ended your graduation speech by saying: “I know this world will never be lacking in social injustice for me to fight against.” You may not win that race — but what matters is that you run it.

The reason? The committee hopes to attract wine lovers who might be on vacation during July and August. The event, benefiting Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired and to be held on a private estate in Atherton, will also begin a little later in the day. From 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., guests will stroll the grounds during a silent auction and sample wines poured by 25 California wineries. The wines will be paired with hors d'oeuvres prepared byAlessandro Cartumini of Quattro Restaurant at Four Seasons Silicon Valley; Daniel Patino of Michael Mina's Arcadia in San Jose; Xavier Salomon of the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay; and Cal Stamenov of Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Valley. The hors d'oeuvres range from duck ravioli with mango, nectarine and candied walnuts by Chef Cartumini, to seared day boat scallops with passion fruit and cauliflower by Chef Patino. Music will be provided by the Magnolia Jazz Band. Among the California vint- ners who will be pouring their wines for the tasting and supper are Duckhorn Vineyards, Ridge Vineyards, Stags Leap Wine Cellars and Mumm Napa. The live auction begins at 5:30 p.m., an hour later than last year, with auctioneers Fritz Hatton and Daniel Donahoe. Auction highlights include a 10-day Mediterranean cruise in a penthouse suite aboard the Regatta, part of the Oceana Cruises' fleet. The winning bidder will also have the services of a personal butler. The item is valued at $25,000. Also featured are a getaway at the Four Seasons Hualalai on the Kona coast of Hawaii with golf and spa treatments, and a "Great Gatsby" cocktail party for 100 guests in a private Atherton garden. The Vintage Affaire invitation lists such wine lots as two magnums of 2000 Harlan Estate cabernet sauvignon, a double magnum of 1989 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, and a magnum of Pol Roger and Company Champagne 2000. As they have done since the mid1990s, McCall Associates of San Francisco will keep guests well fed during the evening. During the auction they will be serving platters of antipasti and crostini. Dinner, to be served after the auction, will feature beef two ways — filet mignon and braised short rib — fingerling potatoes, and spring vegetables. Dessert will be sticky toffee pudding and espresso creme with lemon cookies. Stephanie von Thaden of Atherton is the chairman of this year's Vintage Affaire. Serving with her on the Vista Center Foundation Board are Pat Dunbar, Dave Heppberger, Martha Edwards, Bridget Madigan, Grant Giske, Suzanne Legallet, Susan Gregory, Jan Woolsey, Vanessa Roach, Michele Mandell, Martha Kambe, Debbie Eastburn, Trish Moxon, Pam Brandin, and Bruce Fielding. Last year's Vintage Affaire raised $320,000. Since 1983, nearly $6 million has been raised to assist blind and low-vision clients and their families. Tickets to Vintage Affaire are $300. To receive an invitation, call Vista Center at 858-0202, or visit the Vintage Affaire Web site at www.vintageaffaire.org.
