November DEIB Newsletter We’re excited to share Sutro’s inaugural newsletter highlighting our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB). In this first issue, we are delighted to share the rich diversity of our employees reflecting the observances celebrated by the various cultures within our community. Here are some ways we’re celebrating including our Thanksgiving family recipes for all to enjoy! November 1-2: Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Día de Muertos was originated in Mexico and associated with the Catholic celebrations of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. Involves family and friends gathering to pay respects and to remember friends and family members who have died. Traditions connected with the holiday include honoring the deceased using calaveras and aztec marigold flowers known as cempazúchitl, building home altars called ofrendas with the favorite foods and beverages of the departed, and visiting graves with these items as gifts for the deceased. November 4: Diwali Festival Beginning Sunday, October 27, Diwali is a 5-day festival that sparks the beginning of the fiscal year in India. As one of the most popular and celebrated Indian holidays, Diwali symbolizes the spiritual victory of light over darkness and good over evil, and it is often associated with the goddess Lakshmi. “Diwali is our favorite festival. We have a lots of traditions and culture that we associate with Diwali and celebrate with flowers, lights, new attire and new beginnings. It is a festival where we celebrate the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil and love over hate.” – Khyati November 11: Veterans Day Veterans Day is a time for us to pay our respects to those who have served. For one day, we stand united in respect for you, our veterans. This holiday started as a day to reflect upon the heroism of those who died in our country’s service and was originally called Armistice Day. It fell on Nov. 11 because that is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. However, in 1954, the holiday was changed to “Veterans Day” in order to account for all veterans in all wars. Thank you, Veterans! We greatly appreciate your bravery and sacrifices. November 19: Great American Smokeout A national holiday hosted by the American Cancer Society that provides an opportunity for people who smoke to commit to healthy, smoke-free lives: not just for a day, but year-round. It provides an opportunity for individuals, community groups, businesses, healthcare providers, and others to encourage people to plan to quit on the GASO date or initiate a smoking cessation plan on the day of the event. This event not only challenges people to stop smoking, but it also educates people about the many free tools they can use to help them quit. November 25: Thanksgiving Day Thanksgiving Day, annual national holiday celebrating the harvest and blessings of the past year. Americans generally believe that their Thanksgiving is modeled from a 1621 harvest feast shared by the English colonists (Pilgrims) of Plymouth and the Wampanoag people. Others pinpoint the true origin of Thanksgiving, owing to the fact that the Massachusetts colony governor John Winthrop declared a day to celebrate colonial soldiers who had just slaughtered hundreds of Pequot natives in what is now Mystic, Connecticut. November 26: Native American Heritage Day The Friday following Thanksgiving is a civil holiday observing the day as Native American Heritage Day. This acknowledgment further highlights the importance of recognizing the many contributions that Native people have made to the United States —Alaska Natives, American Indians, and Native Hawaiians—along with other Indigenous peoples across the globe. Alaska is home to nearly 40 percent of all federally recognized Tribes. November 26th, Native American Heritage Day, is a time to honor the culture and heritage that millions of Native people share with us daily. November: National Family Caregiver Month A time to recognize and honor family caregivers across the country. It offers an opportunity to raise awareness of caregiving issues, educate communities, and increase support for caregivers. “The above link shares a story about my mother. A new aromatherapy that California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) had given to my mom to help her breathe, help with her anxiety and nausea.” – Nancy November: Lung Cancer Awareness Month Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in the United States and worldwide. In fact, lung cancer is responsible for more deaths in this country than the next three most common causes of cancer death combined – colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Early diagnosis improves outcomes, so raising awareness of lung cancer symptoms can get more help to more people more quickly. Make sure people know the signs of lung cancer and the importance of seeing their doctor promptly. Orange-Ginger Skirt Steak with Onions Recipe “My dad’s skirt steak recipe.” – Sam Ingredients 2 ½ – 3-lb. beef skirt steak (2 or 3 steaks) ½ cup soy sauce ½ cup dry sherry ¼ cup orange juice 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes 3 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed 8 to 10 green onions 2 oranges, cut into wedges Salt and pepper Directions Rinse steaks and pat dry. Place in a heavy plastic food bag. Add soy sauce, sherry, orange juice, ginger, red pepper flakes and garlic.

Adjust steaks so they lie fairly flat on skewers, rippling only slightly; if they are too bunched up, they won’t cook evenly. Lay skewers on a barbeque grill over a solid bed of hot coals or high heat on a gas grill. Cook, turning once, until meat is done to your liking, 7 to 9 minutes for medium-rare in center of thickest part (cut to test). If desired, heat reserved marinade. Pour into a 1 to 1 ½ -quart pan and bring to a boil over high heat, then pour into a small bowl. Transfer steaks and onions to a platter and garnish with orange wedges.
