Betty Ann Ong Chinese Recreation Center Reopens with Fanfare

An estimated 1,000 people came out on Saturday, July 14, for the grand reopening
 of one of Chinatown's most popular and historic sites.  Mayor Ed Lee, Board President
David Chiu, Supervisors Eric Mar and Scott Wiener, and members of the Ong family
 led the ribbon cutting ceremony along with general manager Phil Ginsburg, Recreation
and Park Commissioners Mark Buell, Tom Harrison and Megan Levitan, and other city
officials. The new $21 million Betty Ann Ong Chinese Recreation Center was part 
of the 2008 Clean and Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond.  The center was renamed last
 year in honor of Betty Ann Ong, a San Francisco native and a national heroine from
the 9/11 tragedy.  Special thanks to the center's Community Recreation Council, 
the Betty Ann Ong Foundation, Chinatown Community Development Center, DPW, YKM Lion
Dancers, the St. Mary's Girls Drum Corp and Jest Jammin' for their assistance in
 planning the event. See our photos! [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001E7JonDZCR8xVbFfgn99CgOMUE_lbzQz5mjNT1y9O7dLBIx30aTbjtQ-CefhM5zXbkPjd5z22X8IKOHwe8Fasyy9cO4ZuRZcJo-nKUjvNn1pu9az9qKhm4pSZI8NsvRHtvpCQV63BSSS0cSArQoweTPHYKu464yU5Rav02nWF3V6RanDXmaj0U90O7rZkFHLh8KjzeJ0-VjkPjBo0eJtEng==]

Rec and Park "Quilt" Video: You're the Fabric of Our Parks
This week, we're asking you, our park users, to be a part of our first ever "quilt"
video.  Send us a 10-second (or less) clip of you in our parks and we'll "stitch"
all of the videos we receive into a larger video montage, much like a patchwork 
quilt.  We'll premiere the finished product at the end of the month in our newsletter,
on our web page and on our social media pages (Facebook, Twitter and YouTube). And,
we'll showcase it at an upcoming Rec and Park Commission meeting.
Here's how to include your video in this exciting project:
1) Go out to your favorite San Francisco [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001E7JonDZCR8z2b3Mrh-44WUTsJcpOEzCQBh9sf4dRyVHhSprGvphgIl_mcHi9oSG5J5JWWZwbOsWIvz-gUwCfWWEBN9n0vnUUytiMAtpRqQDZucB4aPtzKwJgbgjZ66Ri29t8ii21PDo=]
park and take a short video of you and your friends/family saying our catch phrase,
"Get Out and Play!"
2) The video should be no more than ten seconds long.
3) Send the video file (.MOV, .WMV, .MPG and most common video types) via email 
to jamie.hopper at sfgov.org [mailto:jamie.hopper at sfgov.org].
4) Please include the following information in your email:

1. Names of people appearing in the video
2. Where the video was shot
