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. 

Promptly at 5:00 a.m. on the rainy morning of Jan. 31, 34 teams of volunteers fanned out across the county in pre-dawn darkness to count people who do not have homes to sleep in- people sleeping on the streets, in cars and vans, or hidden away in unauthorized campsites.
