As Sandy Decker, former Los Gatos mayor and TMH 2006 event chair, has put it: "A town without history and art has no heart. This is a community with a heart that prides itself on being a cultural destination. Touch My HeART helps the town of Los Gatos celebrate its past and its future. We need everyone's support. We offer you an evening like no other, and we hope to see you there!" 2005 Events Touch My heART 2005 Valentine Gala for The Museums of Los Gatos 6-10 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 13th at Testarossa Vineyards in Los Gatos Can't think of anything exciting for your Valentine?
