The Butter Paddle Re-Opens in Los Gatos, CA

On November 5th, the Butter Paddle Gift Shop ushered in a new era in its long and storied history when it cut the ribbon on its new store in Los Gatos.  The gala event which featured a visit from Los Gatos mayor Diane McNutt, as well as food and music, was a huge success.  After 43 years in Saratoga, the volunteers at the Butter Paddle look to continue their legacy of philanthropy at the new location, which will continue to feature unique home and kitchen accessories and dinnerware.  EMQ FamiliesFirst would like to extend a thank you to all the Los Gatos residents and local businesses who have made the volunteers right at home.
