The Keynote speaker was George Ow, longtime scholarship supporter. Cabrillo College is one of the great institutions of our community. It provides a college education at a very low cost. However, for some students even low-cost tuition and textbooks can be like Mt. Everest to overcome.
Shiner is active in the community and volunteers working with the elderly.
