LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Clear Lake Trowel and Trellis Garden Club assembled 250 bags of Valentine cards and candy for Meals on Wheels clients.

Club member Claire Grieve has coordinated this project for 12 years. It is a fun and rewarding project that the club's members enjoy.

It always feels good to do something nice for others so they can have a little something special with their Valentine's Day meal.
