Hello from Laura Bajuk at the Museums of Los Gatos!
If you know someone in the South San Francisco Bay who'd like a part-time,
somewhat flexible job in a fun environment (art, nature & history museums in
two old buildings with a fun staff and progressive board with a vision for
the future), please pass this on to them. Resumes can be faxed or sent
(Word97 PC) by e-mail to [log in to unmask] Interviews early April 2002.

MISSION:
The Museums of Los Gatos are dedicated to enhancing community life through
the preservation, exhibition and interpretation of our regional and natural
histories, and in increasing community appreciation of the fine arts.
3 COLLECTIONS, 2 BUILDINGS, 1 ASSOCIATION
The art, nature and history collections are housed in two historic buildings
- one the remains of a Gold Rush-era flourmill, the other the town's first
firehouse. Both are open Wednesday through Sunday, noon to 4pm, are
wheelchair accessible and have ample parking. Admission is free, but a $1 per
person donation is always welcome. The museums are managed by the Los Gatos
Museum Association, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.
MUSEUM HISTORY:
Los Gatos, 1965. The hills were already here, dense with oak, pine, spruce
and redwood. Wildlife - the deer, raccoon, quail and an occasional bobcat -
hardly recognized town limits and felt at home in tree-covered neighborhoods.
Narrow streets with wood-framed bungalows and broad avenues generously
endowed with Victorian houses properly linked the past with the present.
The schools were good. The library growing. Art, music and drama, if not in
residence, at least paid frequent visits. The Los Gatos lifestyle offered
just about everything in 1965. Everything but a museum, thought Dr. Ethel
Dana. Ethel Dana firmly believed that her seven children could not grow up in
a community that lacked a museum.
So she did something about it. Today, thanks to Ethel Dana and a growing
number of dedicated volunteers like her, the Museums of Los Gatos are
thriving. It's making Los Gatos a better place to live - and a better place
in which to grow up.
