Kiwanis Club of Los Gatos to Dedicate Oak Meadow Park Flagpole
July 4 event will honor the memory of the late Los Gatos community leader Paul Dubois.
The Kiwanis Club of Los Gatos is inviting the public to attend the dedication of a new flagpole by the bandstand in Oak Meadow Park to at 9 a.m., Wednesday, July 4.
As part of the town’s 125th Jubilee Year celebration, the Kiwanis Club will also hoist a 20-by-30-foot American flag, the club said in a written press release.
Dubois, a past lieutenant governor of Kiwanis, was tireless in support of many civic projects in Los Gatos, in particular the construction of the bandstand next to the 70-foot-tall flagpole, according to the release.
