LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Kiwanis of Lakeport sponsors an Aktion Club, whose members work at People Services.

Recently, the Aktion Club refurbished the set of quagga mussel prevention signs – in the form of the old style Burma Shave signs – on Soda Bay Road, at the intersection of Reeves Road.

The Aktion club painted the signs and installed them along Highway 175 and on Soda Bay Road a few years ago and felt it was time to change the message.

During their monthly club meetings held at People Services, the members painted the series of signs and then installed them.

Landowners adjacent to each set of signs approved their installation.

The current set of signs on Highway 175 read: “Quagga Mussels  Like to Reach, “We Don't Want A Mussel Beach,” “707-263-5665.”

The newly installed signs on Soda Bay Road read: “Quagga Mussels Are a Fright,” “Your Dry Boat Avoids the Plight, “707-263-5665.”

This project won an award with the Kiwanis California-Hawaii-Nevada District for an Aktion Club project.

The purpose of the signs is to increase public awareness of the threat of invasive species for Clear Lake.
