The U.S. Rowing Southwest Regional Masters Regatta will take place July 20 on Lexington Reservoir, the Los Gatos Rowing Club has announced.

California Cafe closes for remodel

The California Cafe at Old Town closed July 7 in preparation for the remodeling of the shopping center.

Monte Sereno plans ZIP survey

After City Council member Joel Gambord asked postal officials for a unique Monte Sereno ZIP code, the Monte Sereno City Council decided to find out what residents think about the matter. (They've already learned that the idea is unpopular with the postmaster.)

In a July issue of the city newsletter, City Manager Gay Strand included a poll to test public opinion on the ZIP code issue. It won't take long for the postmaster to learn the results: Residents who want to participate must clip out the survey and mail it back to the city offices.

Gambord has become a champion for Monte Sereno's ZIP code drive. He says the city needs its own number to establish an identity separate from its neighbors.
