THANK YOU LOS GATOS LIONS CLUB. The Los Gatos Lions Club, which includes Monte Sereno residents, is a service organization which was chartered in 1946. In their 75th year, the Lions are hard at work serving our community. This winter, the Lion’s Club approached Monte Sereno City staff about volunteer opportunities in Monte Sereno. Monte Sereno City staff offered volunteer opportunities, including assisting with the Monte Sereno KCAT Living History project and removing old f...urnishings and objects from the former post office space. The Lion’s Club said "Yes!" to both opportunities without hesitation. In the photo below, pictured from left to right, are Lion’s Club members Perry Gardner, Jim Barth, Jim Goodlin, Chuck Holcomb, and Adam Herbal outside of the future Monte Sereno Community Room. Monte Sereno extends a big "Thank You!" to the Los Gatos Lion’s Club for their community service in the City of Monte Sereno. Great Job!
