Happy Thanksgiving to all! We'd like to express our gratitude to all of you for your support of the Chamber and our Town. We are grateful to live and work in this community, grateful for our caring residents and innovative businesses, and grateful for the natural beauty surrounding us.

We'd also like to express our thanks to all who participated in the Los Gatos United Against Hate Walk last Sunday. Nearly 3000 people walked to show that Los Gatos will not tolerate hate of any kind. It was a great day for Los Gatos - a day of unity, support and love. This video captures the day and the emotion.
Many thanks to Brian Bernasconi and his team, of Brian and Dan Silicon Valley Real Estate, Sereno Group, for producing this video.
