i attended the monthly small business week planning meeting, went to cdma gala, thank you steve for the invenitation, it was my first time and great party. did lots of interviews related to perntal leave. i was surprised around this issue far more than around minimum wage. throughout that process kind of giving a lot of thought to how this could have gone bet squr how to get the small business commission involved in the issue again towards kind of our overarching goal in our planning session to make the commission more relevant and more helpful in situations like this. hopefully we will be able to assist going forward. i think there is still work to be done that we can hopefully see-i know there is other supervisors interested trying to figure this out so it is more ecwitbly funded. so, we'll take it from there. i have nothing else to report. >> we will move to item number 8 is vice president report. >> i also attended the cdma gala and it was fun. and then i just have one quick shout out i want to give to jen myers who owns a business called local take on 17th street and her store sell
