LAKE COUNTY – The seventh annual Saw Shop Bistro Benefit Dinner and auction for Habitat for Humanity Lake County, held on the evening of Nov. 11 was a great success.


The attendees all had a great time.


“This Saw Shop annual benefit has raised more than $50,000.00 in the last seven years and is a major factor in our mission of eliminating substandard living conditions in our community,” President Richard Birk. “We give special thanks to owner Marie Beery and her staff for donating their time to producing this event and that the food and wine were also donated.”


Major contributors this year were Saw Shop Bistro; WestAmerica Bank; Dr. Keith Long, DDS; North Bay Association of Realtors; Physio and Massage Therapist for Humans and Horses, Carol Christie; Bank of the West; Twila Bechler Insurance Agency; Kelseyville Lumber; and Pacific Gas and Electric.


Two handmade quilts were auctioned off, one made by the Hidden Valley Lake Quilters and the other by volunteer Julie Nodine.
