we really see the reach of this, not only taking people into other underserved communities, but really redefining what tourism is. it is such a huge moneymaker for the city, but also, we are now attracting locals and other people who would not necessarily think to go on a tour or to pay for an experienced to now pay for them. >> we see a really wide variety of those that are part of our community. you might think often people think that college students would be out running around town doing errands, and from the beginning, that was never the case. the first big learning i had when i launched the business. we have stay at home moms that are out running their own parents anyway and not mind picking things up for people. young professionals looking to supplement their incomes nights and weekends. san francisco is an extensive place to live. if they could make a few extra bucks on the side to help supplement their rent, then all the better. we have this amazing group of retirees that love the idea of staying active, helping other people in their community, so we look for a wide variety of

commission meeting, you approved a generous gift to provide a program to teach kids in our most underserved neighborhoods to swim, that began at gar field pool, it was their after school program and is the program's off to a great start. this past weekend, we also had some incredible volunteer events at our park. it was the national coastal cleanup day and we had several hundred people gather for a coastal area cleanup in golden gate park that resulted in about 6 different volunteer projects within the park and then on monday in combination with cells forces convention here in town, we had about 150 volunteers in mcklairn park doing park cleanup events and i think it's a good moment to point out that in fiscal year 11-12, we had 147 thousand hours of volunteer time in our park system which was a new record for us, it was a 7 thousand hour increase from our volunteer efforts from the previous year, so we're grateful to san francisco's tireless champions for all the work they do in our parks. upcoming events, commissioner, you already spoke about party for the parks, i will be there wearing i

lgbt seniors are underserved in senior services and senior housing here in san francisco. there are 25,000 lgbt people over the age of 55, but few about lgbt seniors can be identified and utilize senior services or live in residential facilities. lgbt seniors do not feel safe to be out to their service providers or to live in residential facilities for fear of discrimination. all too often, lgbt seniors hide their identity or choose to leave san francisco in the comfort and safety of their friends and loved ones to find the services and housing been need. san francisco can and must do better than that. besides open house senior housing, the 55 laguna development also provides much needed rental housing, affordable housing, preservation of historic buildings, and a wonderful park. this is the kind of mixed in calm development that makes san francisco the kind of livable city we can all take pride in. we need to move this project forward. thank you so much. >> good evening. i'm a board member -- we are encouraged that this project will bring new residents to our neighborhood

we want the digital inclusion program to make sure we address the needs of underserved vulnerable communitiesties that are already very tech savvy. we are here to provide a, b and c to the seniors. a stands for access. b stands for basic skills and c stands for content. and unless we have all three, the monolingual chinese seniors are never going to be able to use the computer or the internet. >> a lot of the barrier is knowledge. people don't know that these computers are available to them, plus they don't know what is useful. >> there are so many businesses in the bay area that are constantly retiring their computer equipment that's perfectly good for home use. computers and internet access are helping everybody in the community and people who don't have it can come to us to help with that. one of the biggest problems we see isn't whether people can get computers through programs like ours, but whether they can understand why they need a computer. really the biggest issue we are facing today is helping people understand the value of having a computer. >> immediately they would say can i aff

. >> the social media point -- i think particularly, we need to focus on the underserved communities. if you think about it, social media levels the playing field. everybody has an equal voice. but a lot of our communities are not using the social web for a purpose, such as looking for a job. 93% of recruiters, after the recruiting, are using social networking, whether it is linkedin, facebook, or twitter. we do need to educate the community that that is what they need to be more active on, is social networking. i am told that kids from east palo alto, working at facebook -- they say, "you are the first professional i have ever met." we take that for granted. but i want to note that collectively, we can make a difference. at the same time, we are addressing the digital divide it by encouraging these communities to be more comfortable in leveraging social media. >> what is exciting about what is happening in san francisco -- we have big companies and small companies who have said, "i am in. there are a number of them. >> in the beginning, we had about 50 employees, and now we are up to
