That's the date that has been set for the second Los Gatos community workshop, stemming from the "Alive ... and Loving Life" movement.

The first, held in March, brought together teens, parents and other community members for a daylong discussion on the issues facing Los Gatos youth and brainstorms on safe alternatives. It became clear through the day that some concrete measures needed to be accomplished and a second such event had to be planned.

With the scheduling of the November workshop and a Sept. 9 meeting, the "Alive ... and Loving Life" leadership group has taken a summer hiatus. Project-specific groups, however, are continuing their work over the next few months.

Most active is the music-focused group, driven by Los Gatos High School students. The group has been meeting consistently and distributed a survey to the entire student body, asking for music preferences. "Every meeting that we have, more and more people are coming to back us up," said junior Chiara Kramer.

Victoria Frangadakis, a student leader, said summer ideas include concerts at the Outhouse, the amphitheater behind Old Town, local parks and coffeehouses.

Frangadakis also said the group is looking for sponsors for various events, although most of the promotion for featured bands will be paid for by the bands themselves.

A group formed to pursue an under-21 club in town has similar ideas, hoping to find venues for music-related events, poetry readings and open mic sessions. Originally, the group wanted to establish one facility as the club, but found that it would be too difficult. Freshman Jacqui Kemp said the vision now is to have a "virtual club," where different businesses would stay open after hours and host teen events.

Kemp said the under-21 club volunteers face three tasks: surveying the teens in Los Gatos; researching existing sites and businesses; and looking at empty buildings that could serve the group's need.

"There's a lot of interest in the under-21 music thing," said Andrea Schneider, community coach, "not just among the youth, but the adults, too."

Other projects are also progressing. Los Gatos High Principal Trudy McCulloch is working on the Teens and School aspect, and said possible activities include a skills night for parents of freshmen and character education for students. A town youth commission could potentially be formed, after Schneider prepares a report on teens to the Los Gatos Town Council. And police are taking an active role, with Los Gatos­Monte Sereno Police Chief Scott Seaman reporting progress on law enforcement party protocol and a student-cop dialogue event.

Despite the interest taken in the projects, a key need is in funding.

"This project really hasn't required any funding but for Andrea's compensation," Seaman said. Schneider's position was paid for by the town but ends this month. As a result, the group is pursuing grants that would fund either specific projects or the movement as a whole.

Tax-deductible donations from individuals, businesses and nonprofit organizations are also welcomed. The Los Gatos­Saratoga Department of Community Education and Recreation is the umbrella organization for the "Alive ... and Loving Life" bank account.

With her time in Los Gatos coming to a close, Schneider said she had not seen a similar movement in the other communities in which she had been a community coach.

"This is a remarkable effort. Its hallmarks have been unique and different," Schneider said. "It's really been a pleasure and an honor."
