There can be little doubt San Jose needed a Beautiful Day. After eighteen long months without one, you stepped up to the plate and hit a home run. People all over the city, from government officials to CEOs and everything in between, have seen the fruits of your efforts. Last week, you made a difference that will be felt far beyond a sunny weekend in May, you sowed the seeds of meaningful change throughout Silicon Valley that will blossom in the weeks, months and years to come.

 

Thank you for getting covered in paint. Thank you for digging in the dirt. Thank you for being a maniac on the dance floor. Thank you for climbing roofs, running table saws and hammering nails. Thank you for gathering trash, grilling burgers and giving blood.

 

Thank you for brightening bedrooms, cleaning kitchens and planting flowers. Thank you for being eager to serve, working tirelessly and committing to your community.

 

Thank you for the sore muscles, long hours and bright smiles.

 

Thank you for answering the call.

 

Thank you for changing lives.

 

Thank you.
