Everybody had a good time

Another Unsung Hero

San Francisco Tomorrow’s Annual Awards Dinner was a lot of fun, good food, fine people and a beautiful new venue. The dinner was held in a room with a view at Delancey Street restaurant, a view of our splendid Waterfront bordered by palm trees. Aren’t you glad you came? We toasted the victory-to-be on June 3 when the voters of the city would acclaim the YES on B which mandates a popular vote before height limits can be changed on the waterfront.

Former Mayor Art Agnos gave a speech that touched on all the reasons we are determined to keep our waterfront from money-laced decision-making at City Hall. Tommi Avicolli-Mecca and Sara Shortt, two of this year’s Unsung Heroes, talked about their efforts to create and conserve affordable housing. Becky Evans. Longtime Sierra Club activist was awarded SFT’s Jack Morrison Lifetime Achievement Award, based on her achievements to save the bay and the waterfront, re-imagine the Presidio and protect the urban environment, and she left us with three maxims: never give up, keep your friends informed and follow your deepest interests.
