The Kiwanis Club of Los Altos plans to hold its 73rd annual Kiwanis Pet Parade 10 a.m. May 30 – but the popular tradition will move online.

Open to any student enrolled in a local high school for the 2020-2021 school year, the program offers teens the opportunity to interact with the community, fulfill volunteer hours for school, learn about history, connect with peers and work alongside museum professionals while gaining valuable employment skills to include on a college resume.

To document the impact of COVID-19 on the community, the Los Altos History Museum seeks stories, photos, diary entries and other materials from residents of Santa Clara County. The material and online submissions will be archived for the museum’s permanent collection and preserved for future historians, researchers and visitors.
“We want to hear how you and your loved ones are experiencing this extraordinary event. How has it disrupted your lives? How are you getting through it? How have everyday routines changed in your household?” said Amy Ellison, exhibition curator. “Our grandkids and great-grandkids will wonder what life was like during this pandemic.”
