To raise money for the bandstand that will support the Lyndon cupola, the Los Gatos Community Foundation is offering the community the option of engraving the bricks that will surround the bandstand. For $150, each brick can have up to eight words.

According to Paul Dubois, foundation president-elect, purchasers receive a certificate and a tax deduction for the brick. There are 370 bricks on the bandstand, and all sales must be made by April. For more information, contact Dubois at 408.354.8787.
