"Los Gatos Music & Arts (LGMA) has produced Jazz on the Plazz for 23 years, offering free concerts funded by generous sponsors. Yet its true legacy is education: workshops and scholarships shaping future jazz leaders. San Jose high school student June McMahon embodies this mission. After performing with the San Jose High School Jazz All-Stars at Jazz on the Plazz, she participated in LGMA Brubeck Brothers Workshop, earned a spot at the prestigious Brubeck Jazz Summit."
"Monday Morning Movies are back, also with a purpose. The event is sponsored by the Los Gatos Thrives Foundation, whose vision is to make Los Gatos an age-friendly community where everyone thrives. On Oct. 6, 9:45 a.m.-12:45 p.m., you can share a great classic movie, The Sting, honoring the great Robert Redford. A $10 ticket gets you coffee, pastry, the movie and good socializing at the CineLux Los Gatos Theatre."
"Some events are intended to recognize groups and foster ties. An example is coming up Oct. 16, at 11 a.m. at the Addison-Penzak JCC. The public is invited to join in thanking our Los Gatos-Monte Sereno police for their dedication and service at the annual recognition luncheon hosted by the Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Foundation. It's a way for the public to recognize lifesaving actions, recovery of stolen property, efforts to assist the homeless and community service."
Local events in Los Gatos and volunteers prioritize goals that benefit target groups or causes beyond entertainment. Los Gatos Music & Arts produces Jazz on the Plazz for 23 years, providing free concerts and prioritizing education through workshops and scholarships that develop young jazz musicians, exemplified by San Jose student June McMahon’s progression to the Brubeck Jazz Summit and performances with the Brubeck Brothers. Monday Morning Movies, sponsored by Los Gatos Thrives Foundation, promotes age-friendly community socializing with classic films and low-cost refreshments. The Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Foundation hosts an annual recognition luncheon to honor police service, lifesaving actions, and community assistance efforts.
