PresidentsMessageIs it really already November? Elections
for City Council are just around the corner on
the 8th and I want to encourage all Cupertino
residents to get out and vote. This is a very
important election, and the results will impact
the future of Cupertino for many years to
come. As you are aware, both the Cupertino
Chamber and the Mercury News have en-dorsed Mayor Gilbert Wong and Donna Aus-
tin as the most qualified candidates. Every
vote counts, so let your voice be heard!
A good time was had by all at the FestivAll joint mixer that was held
on October 12th. What a great networking opportunity to mix and mingle
with several thousand participants. It has been strongly suggested by a
number of members that we include this event as part of our annual mixer
calendar. If you have thoughts one way or another, please let me know.
As President of the Chamber of Commerce, I remain committed to
working on your behalf to promote the business environment here in Cu-
pertino. At the October 18th City Council meeting, I submitted a letter to
the Council, urging them to support streamlining the development permit
process. Streamlining this process will send a clear signal that our City is
committed to being a partner with businesses that are interested in either
expanding or relocating here. Please contact the Chamber if you have
additional suggestions or ideas on how the City can help your business
grow.
The Taste of Cupertino will be returning to Vallco Mall at 4:30 on Sat-
urday, November 12th. We have an even greater variety of restaurants
participating this year over 10 - and expect another sold-out event.

Issue #155 Cupertino Business New
By Darcy Paul, VP Legislative Action Council
People the world over wonder about the
economic success of Cupertino. How did a little
orchard-town manage to transform itself in fiftyyears from a farming community to the home of
one of the most diversely-perspectived
(apologies for the use of a non-word) populations
in the world, the largest company in the world,
with a community infrastructure that has
sustained a world-wide economic recession while
pouring more voluntary private funds into its
educational system to ensure that teachers arent
lost?
Put frankly, and with a fully acknowledged
sense of organizational self-aggrandizement, the
Cupertino Chamber of Commerce played no
small part in the beginning. At the time this
community still contained a majority of orchard
space, the Chamber, which predated
incorporation of the City, helped create the
municipal entity. From these roots, the
community inherited strong educational values,
and a hard-working, straightforward, honest
ethos, with the groups and people drawn to the
community since then of a like mind. These traits
were not so much some kind of philosophical pie-
in-the-sky social experiment as much as they
were basic necessities of an agriculturally-based
community. Why? In agriculture, the reasons
are obvious. If you dont water your plants, no
amount of imaginative accounting is going to
make your crop yields thrive. There is an
elemental honesty required in holding the farmer
accountable to the effort placed into nurturing the
farm or, such as the case has been in these
parts, the orchard.This area has experienced many iterations
and forms of economic success since that time,
and to be fully honest with ourselves, we have
not all always been immune to the easy money
mentality pervading the business world and
resulting in the massive collapses of such entities
as large energy companies and financial
investment firms. Still, with our ever-present
spirit of inquiry, innovation, and development, we
have of late returned more solidly to our rooted
principles. If Silicon Valley has taught us
anything in the last half-decade or so, it is that
sharp behavior and a win at all costs attitude
are not required in order for an individual, acompany, an organization, or a society to thrive.
Sacrificing integrity, intellectual consistency, and
honesty in the pursuit of a particular aim
eventually catches up to you, even if, and really,
especially if, you obtain the goal you thought you
wanted. The ends dont justify the means.
This is why there is cause for deep optimism
in our current environment. The emerging
generation has talent, drive, motivation,
perspective, and, most importantly, a conscience.
The current nationwide Occupy demonstration
peopled primarily by the younger generatio
belie a desire for our systems to work in a mo
honest, functional manner, and show us that th
energy needed to push our mechanisms
governance to do their job, not to look the oth
way, and to regulate fairly, effectively, an
efficiently that energy exists. To peer into theart of the sentiment driving thes
demonstrations, you must understand and fe
the perspective captured by the intern
publication Gizmodo, which recently state
Generation X Is Sick of Your the final word
not fit to print in this medium, but suffice it to sa
it involves solid biological material excreted by
bull.
Starting from this kind of foundation, t
transition into a sustainable larger economy w
happen, if we hold fast to the basic co
principles which were responsible for giving
both great fruit and great consumer electronic
We dont need to keep up with any kind misguided idiocy, and we dont need to hold for
entertaining behavior as some kind of templa
for our shared success. Instead, the defini
momentum of our times can tell those who follo
us that we all managed to be fa
compassionate, successful, amused, innovativ
educated, imaginative, and happy, all at t
same time. This will not be easy, but t
knowledge is there, the energy is brimming, a
the enthusiasm to make it happen bubbling rig
under the surface. And so, forward we go.

Assemblymember Fong wished the attendees
a Happy Diwali and congratulated the organizers
for putting on a great program. Diwali brings the
message of love and wisdom, of the triumph of
good over evil, and is a celebration of prosperity
and knowledge, said Assemblymember Fong.
The Cultural program was a smorgasbord of
sorts featuring multi cultural dance performances
and the ever popular crowd-pleasing Bollywood
dances.Diwali is an excellent opportunity to bring the
business community together to celebrate a
holiday that is very significant for the Indian
population, said Mahesh Nihalani, the event
chair organizer. The Diwali festival has proven to
be an excellent way to bridge our business
community with the residents of Cupertino
We would like to recognize the Diwali Festival

made this years festival successful. A special

Vuppalla were also helpful at this years festival.
Last but not least, Mike Kings efforts provided
logistical support for the festival from start to
finish. Wonderful volunteers and school clubs
were also invaluable in ensuring this event was a
success.
We would also like to thank the generous
contributions and participation from our festival
sponsors.

Small-business owners have three basic optionsfor processing payroll: the "do-it-yourself" method,
bookkeeping software, and outsourcing to aprofessional payroll provider. What makes outsourcingthe better choice?
Outsourcing reduces the complexity and risk ofrunning your own payroll, while helping ensure greateraccuracy, with up-to-date tax rates and regulatoryinformation that can be lacking in a software solution.
This time of year is very exciting for Paychex. 1out of every 3 businesses evaluate their current payrollprocess at this time for start in January, and look foropportunities to improve their efficiency. Please visitwww.Paychex.com or call Bea at 408-857-7400 for afree evaluation.
