Dear Friends and Members of the Chamber,

With the Annual Winter Celebration and the 67th Annual Holiday Parade this past weekend, the holiday season in Los Gatos is officially in full swing! Both events were a tangible reminder of the wonderful community that we have here in Los Gatos.

This year’s tree lighting celebration was particularly noteworthy, as 2023 marks the 100th year that the holiday tree has stood in the town plaza. As we make our way through the plaza during our busy holiday festivities, I hope we can all take a moment of gratitude for the women of the 1923 Historical Society who donated the tree and left such a beautiful legacy for our town.

At this time, I want to acknowledge our wonderful new Chamber staff for all of their hard work. As you know, we welcomed Jennifer Lin, Lauren Scalora, and Beth Foley to the Chamber in the last half of 2023. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that as a Chamber, we are profoundly thankful for the dedication and hard work of each of these women and their collective impacts on our Chamber and on the town.

In addition to navigating the transition with grace and humor, the new team has worked hard to launch Los Gatos Loyal, the Chamber’s Holiday 2023 campaign encouraging us all to support the local businesses of Los Gatos. As part of Los Gatos Loyal, the Chamber is offering Local Promotion Cards for purchase ($30) online and at our office at 10 Station Way. The Los Gatos Loyal program also includes our beloved tradition of horse-drawn carriage rides starting December 7, 2023. This is a wonderful experience for all ages and a great way to enjoy the festive atmosphere of downtown Los Gatos.

As this year draws to a close, I want to thank each of you for your part in making this town the unique and memorable place that it is. I wish you and your loved ones a very happy holiday season and best wishes for 2024!

Warmly,

Rachael Brown
