Cupertino Community Services, which offers emergency help to low-income people in Saratoga, Los Gatos, Cupertino and West San Jose, is offering two programs to provide gifts and toys to needy families. Through the Adopt-A-Family program, individuals, organizations, churches and businesses "adopt" less fortunate families and individuals, providing them with a holiday meal and gifts for all members of the family. In addition, low-income parents are invited to come in to the Holiday Toy Shop, located in the Oaks Center in Cupertino, to pick out several new toys for each of their children. If you or someone you know would benefit from these programs, call Barbara Jones, 255-8033.
'But Thou, O Bethlehem" is the title of a Christmas cantata that will be presented Dec. 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 19100 Allendale Ave. Composer Carol Flock will direct this original choral production, with pianist Marci Schapp accompanying the 65-voice Saratoga LDS Choir. Flock is a four-time winner in the Ensign Music Contest, this year winning an award for "Because the Lord Loves Me." The choir will perform the same program Dec. 16 at 7 and 8:30 p.m. at the Oakland Temple Interstake Auditorium. Admission is free for all performances. For more information, call (415) 531-1475.
