"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 and shared the stage Sept. 20 with the Brubeck Brothers Quartet at the LGMA annual gala."
"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."
Los Gatos events are driven by goals that benefit target groups and causes beyond entertainment. Los Gatos Music & Arts has produced Jazz on the Plazz for 23 years, providing free concerts funded by sponsors while focusing on education through workshops and scholarships that develop future jazz leaders. Monday Morning Movies, sponsored by Los Gatos Thrives Foundation, promotes an age-friendly community and offers social gatherings with affordable tickets. Annual recognition luncheons honor Los Gatos-Monte Sereno police for lifesaving actions, property recovery, assistance to the homeless and community service. Volunteers and sponsors invest hundreds of hours and resources to achieve these positive outcomes.
