New program offers tree ‘adoptions’
The city of Los Altos, the Los Altos Chamber of Commerce and the Los Altos Village Association co-sponsored a new holiday program, Trim a Tree @ Los Altos, that encouraged businesses, community organizations and residents to adopt and decorate a tree.
The program features 61 decorated trees throughout three Los Altos business districts: downtown, Rancho Shopping Center and Loyola Corners. Each tree includes an ornament listing the adopter, event sponsors and a QR code to the tree map, marking each holiday tree’s location. The trees are on display through Jan. 3.

“And I will second,” chirped outgoing Councilwoman Jeannie Bruins, laughing.
“Our last motions, right, Jeannie?” Pepper said. “Moved by Pepper, seconded by Bruins may we please have a roll call vote?”
With smiles on their faces, the two outgoing council members departed the dais after eight years. They were the only two council members to serve consecutive terms that started in 2012 and ended last week, after Sally Meadows and Jonathan Weinberg were sworn in at the meeting.
