Hi Everyone -
Our Town Council took a big leap on Tuesday night and voted unanimously to grant a Conditional Use Permit to Hapas Brewing Company to open a Tap Room at 114 S. Santa Cruz Avenue. These local boys will make good in this town! Welcome! Please wish them the best of luck in their endeavor and stop by for a beer. They will surely encounter a few challenges along the way – even more of a reason to embrace their idea and the Council’s valiant attempt at listening to the people and trying something a little new and different. We are evolving as a town.
Be A Part Of It
.
The Town has been working hard to streamline the rules and regulations so that is easier to start a business here and to simply do business in town. Please see this
fact sheet
for more information.
Speaking of facts, hopefully you all read the Chamber’s first and second blog editions of “Keep Calm and Check the Facts”. If you did not see it, check out our Facebook page or NextDoor. We will update you periodically as we get more facts that we feel like we need to share.
And here is a
Fun Fact
– the Chamber has partnered with
Office Depot
to give our members exclusive savings with discounts on almost every single item in-store and online, preferred customer support, and access to new tech services. If you currently use Office Depot, and are a Chamber member, check out this program to save even more money. You are welcome!

for all the details.
Another
Fun Fact
– check out a new and easy way to advertise your business with
OneChirp
(the pilot program is free!) and if you don’t have a business but want to know what the local stores are offering, check out the same new app. These gentlemen are on to something.
Click here
for all the info.
We have so many
ribbon cuttings
in March! Please see the details for all below. Come out and help these new businesses celebrate. We welcome out new Chamber members.
The deadline is fast approaching for final ads to be submitted for the 2019-20 Los Gatos Resource Guide and Directory. Don’t miss the chance to be in the Guide this year. Los Gatos locals and visitors alike wait for this resource to arrive in their mailboxes.
Again, thanks to all of you who came to the Council meeting on Tuesday night. Your support was incredible! We still have lots of work to do but we are making some strides. If you ever feel like you want to get a more involved, please call me at 408-335-6618 or stop by my office. You have all heard the saying
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world (in our case a Town), indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”
Margaret Mead.
Sincerely,
Catherine Somers
