KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Lake County Sheriff’s Office, the Lake County Sheriff’s Activities League and District 5 Supervisor Rob Brown have coordinated their efforts to complete a much-needed makeover of the Kelseyville Presbyterian Church Youth Center.
In March, Sheriff Frank Rivero met with Sheriff’s Activities League Program Director Dave Borjon and Board Secretary Mary Borjon during a board meeting to share his ideas about the program, according to a report from Capt. James Bauman.
Subsequent to that meeting, the Borjons asked for assistance from the sheriff’s office in repainting the interior of the youth center, which is primarily used by the Sheriff’s Activities League program for youth sporting and recreational activities, Bauman said.
Bauman said that soon after the Borjons’ request, Rivero offered the services of minimum security inmate workers from the Lake County Hill Road Correctional Facility to take on the project and repaint the interior of the Youth Center.
As sheriff’s correctional officers and the Borjons began planning and scheduling the work, Brown offered his assistance and donated all of the paint needed for the project, Bauman said.
In conjunction with Kelseyville School District’s spring break during the week of April 18, Bauman said a crew of inmate workers spent three days repainting the complete interior of the building under the supervision of correctional officers.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Activities League was established in 1997 and is funded through grants and fundraising activities that generate donations from private citizens and local businesses, according to Bauman.
He said the league provides Lake County youth with sporting and recreational programs that develop ethical conduct and self-confidence. Boxing, baseball, dance, kayaking, rock-climbing, cross-country bicycling, and computer classes are just a few of the programs offered through Lake County Sheriff’s Activities League.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Activities League is a nonprofit organization comprised primarily of community volunteers who devote their time to Lake County youth in promoting skill development and good citizenship. Bauman said members of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office also participate in Sheriff’s Activities League programs to promote a positive relationship between kids and the law enforcement community.
Anyone wishing to become a volunteer, or donate items to the Lake County SAL program, may contact Dave Borjon at 707-279-1050. Tax-deductible monetary donations can be sent to the Lake County Sheriff’s Activities League at P.O. Box 465, Kelseyville, CA. 95451.
