A kaleidoscope of color comes to Gallery Saratoga
During the month of May, Gallery Saratoga's featured artist, Renata Radcliffe, presents an exhibition titled "Kaleidoscope." The show consists of landscapes, floral themes and animals, all painted on various types of silk backgrounds.

An artist's reception with refreshments takes place on May 6, from 1 to 4 p.m. The public is welcome. Regular gallery hours are Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The gallery is closed on Mondays. For more information, call 408.867.0458, or visit http://www.gallerysaratoga.com on the Internet.

Paid and voluntary positions available for summer camps
The Saratoga Recreation Department has openings available for energetic and friendly people who would like to work as recreation leaders at various summer day camps. The department is also looking for volunteers to assist at these camps. Volunteers must have completed the eighth grade, must attend training sessions and commit to at least two one-week camps of their choices. Serving as a volunteer often stands the individual in good stead for future paid positions with the Recreation Department.
For more information about either paid or volunteer positions, call Lori Burns at 408.868.1252.
