April 27: 2nd Annual Garlic City Billiards Rally
Last year, over 50 people attended and had a great time. Let’s see if we can get even more Rallyers this year! $5 for 2 hours, light snacks included, and a demonstration by pool instructor and founder of the WPPA, Bob Beaulieu.
Please help us get a head count so we can provide light snacks for the people attending the Rally. Just give us a name and an estimated number of attendees (will not be published).

Great Idea! I support you 100% I usually eat at a downtown restraurant every Friday night.
Thanks for the kind words, Cat! As a civic leader, your support for downtown Gilroy is important.
Our job, now, is to spread the word and get more people to follow your example.
One effective way that individuals can promote downtown is to make a commitment to oneself to visit downtown at least once a week and make a purchase: a meal, bags for your vacuum, clothes for the children or grandchildren, Mexican sweet bread, or whatever. Once you get into the habit, invite a friend or two to go along. Soon you’ll be recognizing faces and making new friends.
Best regards,
John Russell

I am very interested and eager to get involved. How do I volunteer?
Thank you Mr. John Russell!
For your tireless patience…as well as many others- to help form the critical mass, mixed with love, support and dining out dollars that will transform our downtown the beautiful, vibrant place we know it can be!
Looking forward to the next event…and LOVE having a glass of wine at our new wine bar followed up with an amazing dish–too many to name… from Socrates and Margerita’s kitchen at Garlic City Cafe!
Kind regards, and BIG thanks!
