While Punxsutawney Phil was busy searching for his shadow on Groundhog Day, the Los Gatos Community Foundation's Beautification Committee was getting a head start on spring by cleaning up the charging station area near the Post Office on South Santa Cruz Avenue.
The group removed weeds, broken branches and trash and spread a thick layer of mulch that was provided by the town's Parks and Public Works Department.
Pictured with committee mascot "Wallace" are: front row: Karen Chase, Patti Hughes, Mike Mathews, Barbara Holden, Nancy Walker and Robb Walker; back row: volunteers Ray and Ryan, Stephanie Mathews and Brant Corenson.
