Hidden Villa, the Peninsula’s historic educational farm and 1,600-acre wilderness preserve in Los Altos Hills, will present three Duveneck Humanitarian Awards at a dinner under the stars Saturday.

The public is invited to celebrate the contributions of this year’s award winners who share the humanitarian values that are the legacy of Josephine and Frank Duveneck, Hidden Villa’s founders.

The honorees include Mary Curtis Davey, executive director of the Palo Alto Endowment Fund, former Hidden Villa board president and a founder of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District; Marthelia Hargrove, principal of Costano School, who was named the National Principal of the Year for 2000-01 by the National Alliance of Black School Educators; and internationally renowned architect William McDonough.

Tickets cost $150, of which $75 is a tax-deductible contribution to Hidden Villa.

For more information or to make a reservation, call 949-9702.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

When members of the Los Altos Village Association first created the summer movie nights, they anticipated an event that would attract more residents downtown as a way to promote business.

What they didn’t anticipate was an influx of middle schoolers, or that parents would use the weekly Friday night affair as an opportunity to drop off their children and have someone else (in this case, the Village Association) effectively watch over them.
