Created as a fund-raiser for local non-profits by the Los Altos Cultural Association for the second year in a row, the 2006 calendar features scenes of Los Altos and Los Altos Hills in the early 20th century.

Painted by area artists this past summer using old black-and-white photos as a guide, the calendar depicts Main Street Los Altos in the 1920s, the elegant Winbigler home in Los Altos Hills that has now been razed and a fanciful color rendition of what an Ohlone Indian village might have looked like. A total of 15 unique paintings are included.

Calendars are available from local PTAs, the Los Altos History Museum, Westwind Barn, Los Altos Hills Historical Society, Sister Cities, Los Altos High School Band Boosters and others.

Copies are also for sale at Main Street Cafe & Books, DeMartini’s Produce Stand, Los Altos True Value Hardware and other retail stores to benefit the Los Altos Cultural Association. The calendar sells for $10 including sales tax.

Non-profits interested in selling the calendar should contact Mike Abrams, 954-5999.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

We’ve recently covered the passing of two of this community’s most involved and committed volunteers, Lee Lynch and Billy Russell. They represented an era when people helped out, not so they could get their name on a building, but because it was simply the right thing to do.

There’s a new generation of volunteers hard at work right now in this community who are carrying on their legacy. The level of involvement in the recent Los Altos Relay For Life event bears this out.
