The town of Los Gatos is planning "Keep Los Gatos Beautiful Month" for 2004 and is looking for ideas to help keep the community attractive. During April, the town will host special activities and projects dedicated to keeping Los Gatos beautiful.

Groups and individuals are invited to pitch ideas for the event. Possible project ideas include but are not limited to park projects, adopt a park trail, creek-trail cleanup, neighborhood parking-strip beautification and school cleanup.

To submit ideas for projects or for more information, contact Lauren Mende Tacke, recycling coordinator, at 408.399.5796 or at ltacke@losgatosca.gov.
