Meet Local Author Robin Chapman

Join us for a reading with local author Robin Chapman from her new book "The Valley of Heart's Delight: True Tales from Around the Bay" And stick around after for Networking & 75th Anniversary Celebration at the Los Altos Town Crier. 

The Santa Clara Valley, with its rich soil and sunny weather, has been home to great diversity and great innovation long before it became known as Silicon Valley.

California's first immigrants from Mexico were astonished by its beauty. "The land is moist and the hills have an abundance of rosemary and herbs, sunflowers in bloom, vines as plentiful as a vineyard," wrote one. From the movie stars of Hollywood's golden era who once came to play to billionaires who grew apricots for pleasure, the valley has hosted orchards, electric railroads, Army camps and even a love-struck poet.
