Lake County Women's Club continues philanthropy to benefit the community
The Lake County Women's Civic Club (LCWCC) continues to work toward their philanthropic mission of serving the residents of Lake County and improving the resources and programs for everyone. Earlier this month the group presented a check for $500 to Janine Citron of Lake County Hospice. Hospice welcomes donations of cash as well as goods to sell at the Hospice Thrift Store on South Main Street. They provide help and comfort to individuals and families who are preparing for end of life experiences.
The next project that the group is preparing for is the Vocational Scholarship Program for full time graduating high school students who are planning to attend a vocational school or program to prepare them for a career such as mechanics, hair dressing or other service jobs. This year LCWCC will be able to award three scholarships of $1,200 each. High school counselors have applications available for students who are interested in applying for these scholarships. The deadline for applications is April 26, 2024.
The club's biggest fundraiser is coming up soon as well. The fun and entertaining Black and White, Sassy and Classy Mad Hatter's Luncheon will take place on Saturday, April 27 at the Greenview Bar and Grill in Hidden Valley. Tickets for $50 are on sale now so if ladies are interested in attending this great event, they can contact Sharon Leckbee at 707-900-1486.
In preparation for the event, ladies will be collecting donations from local businesses and individuals to create beautiful gift baskets to raffle off. There will also be a live auction with special great opportunities to bid on. All of the proceeds from this event are used for the projects that the LCWCC supports.
The next regular meeting of the women's club will be Friday, March 1 at the Riviera Hills Restaurant. The guest speaker for the meeting will be Marie Schrader from the Lake County Theater Company. Lake County women who are interested in becoming involved in this great group may contact Sharon Leckbee, membership chairperson at 707-900-1486.
