LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Women’s Civic Club was thrilled this last Friday, Dec. 3, with the return of eight of the 11 women who were with them for their first lunch/general meeting in November.

They all filled out application forms and the group is happy to welcome Susan Lucatorto, Val Schweifler, Jennifer Richardson, Monica Rosenthal, Trena Pauly, Laura Johnson, Trista Fossa and Sharon Leckbee into the club.

The group said it is always a wonderful day when they can provide funds — $240 — and food to the Lake County Gleaners and at this time of year our members go the extra mile to provide $910 in funds and toys for Toys for Tots.

The Lake County Women’s Civic Club also will be donating $150 to the Holiday Food Program being sponsored by Lake Family Resource Center in honor of members they lost over this last year: Pat Norcio, Marsha Murray and Gloria Coyne.

To wrap up their last meeting of the year, the group enjoyed an afternoon of lively Christmas caroling with the, always playful and entertaining, My Divas.

The Lake County Women’s Civic Club meets on the first Friday of every month, except July and August, at Riviera Hills Restaurant. The meeting starts at 11:30 a.m. followed by lunch at 12:15 p.m. and an informative speaker at 1 p.m.

If you are interested in joining them, they are a very friendly and welcoming group. Please call Club President Helen Finch at 707-972-1807.
