2003 LGMR Cool Cats

In 2003, the LGMR Cool Cats introduced the breakfast meeting to Los Gatos. They set their sights on making a difference, and over the years, that difference has evolved into many amazing stories—fundraising events fueled by hearts as big as gold, all aligned to improve lives in countless ways.

Hats off to a remarkable era: Claus for a Cause, Plein Air Fine Art, Lighting for Literacy.

Was it just yesterday that we learned to cook live lobsters and feed over 1,200 guests? That we housed and showcased nationally acclaimed plein air artists? With a mission to increase literacy, we assembled, shipped, and installed solar lights to global villages living off the grid. We were at the forefront of introducing STEM into K–12 classrooms.

In Guatemala, we teamed with physicians to improve the lives of hundreds of children born with cleft palate.

We've funded scholarships, Rotary leadership training, and music and arts programs—Jazz on the Plazz, the ArtNow-NUMU Teen Art Competition, the Boys and Girl Scouts, Los Gatos Band Boosters, Art Docents of Los Gatos, Montalvo Art Center, Santa Clara Sea Scouts, and the Teen Enterprise Leadership Conference.

We've shared a glimpse of the change that can occur when like-minded people come together to make a difference. As we enter a new era we extend an invitation to you to stop in for breakfast on a Wednesday morning 7:15-8:30 a.m. at the Masonic Hall - 131 East Main Street, Los Gatos. Introduce yourself and meet a group of people who set out to make a difference and have never changed course. You too can be a part of this journey
