By Los Altos Hills residents Rosa M. Winkelman, Rebecca Tompkins and Consuelo Cros joined the April 12 Pan American Day celebration held annually the Los Gatos-Saratoga Chapter of the Pan American Round Table.

The Round Table was founded in 1916 in San Antonio, Texas, to promote better understanding among the peoples in the Americas and to provide assistance for each other’s countries in emergencies. Membership was patterned after the Pan American Union (now the Organization of American States) founded in 1890. Faithful to the original charter, the organization has grown to 181 chapters. The Los Gatos-Saratoga Chapter raises funds for junior college scholarships, the Flying Doctors and Interplast, and aid for the victims of natural disasters in the Americas.

A Spring Garden Luncheon and Raffle, the chapter’s primary fund-raiser, is scheduled June 2 in Saratoga.For information, call (408) 354-8265. For reservations, call (408) 257-9522.
