This is an opportunity for the entire community of Los Altos and its environs to come together, to discuss issues, and to look at what each of us as individuals, and as members of groups, can do to help alleviate the devastation wrought by guns that we see. 

If you feel as though there is something you wish to do, or can do, toward helping our country to a more peaceful place, please join us.
