We have been hearing that the Fourth of July was the safest and most relaxing Fourth of July celebration in many years. Many attribute this to the very limited number of family fireworks displays, which in turn was the result of not selling safe and sane fireworks this year.

There was a downside to this positive result. Four nonprofit organizations rely on the sale of safe and sane fireworks to support their activities throughout the upcoming year. these four organizations lost a combined income that historically averages $51,000.

These organizations are the Lake County Channel Cats, Clear Lake High School Booster Club, Miss Lake County Scholarship Organization and Terrace School’s Parent and Teacher Organization.

If you were one of those who enjoyed the safer and more relaxing Fourth of July celebration, and you would like to help these four organizations offset the lost revenue a donation would be a marvelous gesture of appreciation. The four organizations have agreed to share equally all donations received and agreed that checks should be made out to CLHS Booster Club and mailed to P.O. Box 87, Lakeport CA 95453.
