The Holidays will be here before we know it!
As you know, and hopefully remember from last year, the Chamber loves the holiday season. Our
Los Gatos Yule Love It
campaign was a great success, so much so that we are bringing it back this year!
Save these dates:
Annual Tree Lighting - Friday, December 1, 6 p.m.
This is a town-sponsored event but the Chamber will be there
with cookies and hot chocolate. Plan early, make reservations at a local restaurant, and take public transportation.
Los Gatos Children's Christmas/Holidays Parade - Saturday, December 2, 11 am
Our Los Gatos Lion's Club is responsible for all of this fun! Thank you!
Plan to get there early, set up your chairs, get some coffee and pastry and then be sure to stay for lunch afterwards. Avoid the post-parade traffic and
do some shopping- support your local merchants. The store owners will appreciate it!
Carriage Rides - December 1 - December 23
Book your ride now as we always sell out. Click Here to book.
Girls Night Out - December 7 at The Catamount
Champagne reception and fashion show: Perspectives -
The Art of Fashion
Holiday Stroll - Sunday, December 11, Town Plaza Park
Come down and enjoy the festive Farmer's market and then stay for some fun in Plaza Park with Santa Claus, live music, hot chocolate and snow.
Holiday Bags
You probably remember these great jute bags from last year.
We have them for sale at the Chamber for $10.
Stop on by.
The Chamber is also working on a plan to "Trim the Town" for the holidays.
I can see it all in my mind, we now have to make it a reality.
On that note, are any of you interested in being a
Los Gatos Yule Love It sponsor? We need your help in making all these events and projects come to life! Thank you so much. We will do all we can to give you some great exposure.
A couple of last reminders - the Chamber staff is busy working on our
2018 Annual Directory and Local Guide. Be sure your membership is current so that your listing will be included. If you have any questions or if you need to join --- call us please. Our membership is growing - be a part of the movement.
Being part of that movement means the Chamber is really stepping up to be the voice of the business community. The Council is beginning to listen to us and really hear what you all have to say. Please join us at some of the upcoming Town Council Meetings. See the list below. I would like to see some of you on November 7! Please save the date for a special meeting on the North 40 - Conditional Use Permits - on November 14th. If you have ever had concerns about your own CUP, be sure to come to this meeting! Call me if you have any questions. I will keep you posted on the happenings. Hopefully, you saw the survey we sent to you yesterday, regarding the proposed sales tax increase. Please complete it. Results will be shared at the November 7 Council Meeting.
Lastly, I want to draw your attention one last time to the
Annual Dinner and Awards Celebration that happened on October 12th.
Use this link to see the gallery of photos from that event. It was a wonderful celebration. Also, you may

Have a wonderful November and particularly a Happy Thanksgiving. This month, be grateful. Turns out that having "gratitude" is the number one reason why people are happy. Los Gatos - we are grateful to be a part of this wonderful community.
