I attended my first U Play! in the fall of 2006 and have been trying to get a build done in San Jose ever since then.  In the meantime, I've attended U Plays in Chicago and New Orleans, which was where I discovered that a build would be happening in SJ in less than seven weeks!  What a surprise!  We, in turn, surprised KaBOOM! staff by telling them that the build would be in the neighborhood where Cesar Chavez lived and that family was still in the area.  I'm looking forward to my fourth build with KaBOOM! and am bringing along volunteers from around the city so we can get our feet wet on this project while still working on our own.  I can't tell you HOW EXCITED I am!
