The Los Altos Rotary Club has scheduled its annual Fine Art in the Park show 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 17 and 18 at Lincoln Park, corner of Main Street and Foothill Expressway.

Proceeds will benefit a number of local projects, including the RotaCare Clinic at El Camino Hospital, Partners for New Generations, the Eastside College Preparatory School, Child Advocates, Los Altos, Mountain View and Alta Vista high schools, college scholarships for graduating seniors and prevention of AIDS/HIV.

The Fine Art in the Park show is free and open to the public. Free parking and a shuttle will be available at Los Altos High School, 201 Almond Ave.

Internationally, Rotary is active in more than 200 nations. The Los Altos club uses its network to reach areas of need abroad. Funds raised by the Los Altos Rotary Club support global charitable projects in Nepal with practical solar technologies, in the Dominican Republic with tele-medicine and in Afghanistan for planting fruit trees and digging wells.

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.
