LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Women’s Civic Club is proud and pleased to announce the two recipients of this year’s $1,000 vocational scholarship awards.

Every year LWCC awards two $1,000 scholarships to students who are not looking to attend a four-year college but rather participating in vocational programs that provide the many services that are critical to our community right here in Lake County.

Katelind Brown of Kelseyville High School will be attending Mendocino College to study fire science and Patricia McCleery of Lower Lake High School will be selecting a school at which to study cosmetology and looks forward to becoming an aesthetician.

LWCC wishes to take this and every opportunity to thank the many businesses around the Lake that contribute to our fundraising efforts over the course of the year making scholarships and the many annual donations to Lake County Military Funeral Honors Team, Guard, Lake Family Resource Center, Northlake Adult Day Center and Tango Mike possible.

LWCC held its last meeting of the year on June 7, with the installation of new officers for the upcoming year which begins on Sept. 6.

The new officers will be President Julie Hernaez, President-Elect Helen Finch, Vice President Gail Robello, Treasurer Audrey Powers, Recording Secretary Debbie Strickler, Financial Secretary Connie Conser, Corresponding Secretary Betty Martin, Parliamentarian Sandi Miller, Auditor Carol Jordan, Facility Coordinator Cheryl Robbins, Ways and Means Toni Stewart and Membership Mary Lee Hawkins.

If you have some time and energy that you would like to spend making a difference in your community, then you should join this very friendly and enthusiastic group of women at the Riviera Hills Country Club Restaurant on Friday, Sept. 6, as they gather at 11 a.m. for a meeting which begins at 11:30 a.m. on the first Friday of every month except July and August.

Lunch is only $15 and is always amazing.
