Dear Friends,
Renaissance was honored to host Congresswoman Anna Eshoo on April 12, 2010 as the keynote speaker for the grand opening of our Comcast Computer Center at Renaissance Mid-Peninsula in East Palo Alto. Congresswoman Eshoo spoke passionately about the importance of entrepreneurship and small business. The event was catered by Renaissance clients Maria Mendoza, owner of Taqueria Los Temos, and Marlene Cazares, owner of Las Muchachas Restaurant, who provided a truly delectable lunch to the eager audience of Renaissance clients, graduates, and supporters.

On Sunday, May 23, Renaissance Bayview hosted “Sunday Streets” with the support of the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development and Union Bank. Nearly four miles were cordoned off to vehicles, allowing Bayview residents to stroll along the Third Street Corridor, enjoying delicious food, live music, and each other’s company. The Festival featured local merchants and organizations, and activities included free yoga, a health and wellness fair, children’s bike workshops, tours of local institutions like the Bayview Opera House, and more. Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate the Bayview community!
