The San Lorenzo Valley Museum had a record number of attendees (145) for their 10th annual Veterans Day dinner at Scopazzi’s in Boulder Creek this Monday.  The Santa Cruz county veterans and community members present were entertained with music, food, and speeches throughout the event. The dinner guests also helped the organization Vets 4 Vets kick off Operation Warm Embrace 2019 by collecting throw blankets. Their goal is to gift 200 veterans with cozy plush throws.

The district had already spent $2.2 million three years earlier to buy the campus site.
