LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – December is a big month for Lakeport Women’s Civic Club.

It is the month after the group’s annual holiday craft fair, one of two large fundraisers that it hosts each year.

This year’s event was an outstanding success. Money from the sale of booth spaces, a magnificent bake sale, and all-day snack bar serving homemade muffins and soups, will go a long way towards serving the community.

Each year club members look forward to having Kim Bojorques, manager of the Lakeport Fire Department Toy Drive, as a lunch guest and every year they look forward to presenting him with toys and gifts that they have shopped for and purchased.

Some of these ladies have as many as 13 great-grandchildren so they know how much the right toy can mean to a child.

Rich Fiero from the Military Funeral Honors Team and Griff Ratterree from Post 2015 also will be joining the club for a holiday luncheon this month and receiving a generous check to help support the activities provided by these valiant men all around the lake.

All of this, and Christmas entertainment too, will take place at the club’s general meeting on Friday, Dec. 1, at 11:30 a.m. at Riviera Hills Country Club.

Bill Vanderwall of Vanderwall Engineering will be playing guitar and singing all of his favorite Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley and Chris Isaac tunes.

It promises to be a wonderfully festive occasion of celebration and giving.

If you would like to get busy with the club now or in the new year please call Clare at 707-277-0972.
