both Los Gatos Youth Theatre and the Boy Scouts along with other local organizations.
Tommy Seaman suggested that there should be one main tenant who would coordinate the use of the
multi -use facility.

whoever was granted the Venue space.

Boys Scouts, Music and Arts for the summer and storage for the Friends of the Library.

Boy Scouts and Youth'fheatre. Extra space/open meeting times could be offered to other community
organizations.
