On May 9 we worked the Clean up Clearlake day, which was started last year by Cathy Wilson from Small Business Development Center, who partnered with the City of Clearlake and the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce.
This year we had many volunteers who spent their day cleaning along Lakeshore Drive and Olympic Drive. After getting those areas complete volunteers moved onto areas of Old 53 and 40th Avenue.
I want to say thank you to all who volunteered and/or donated much needed items: Bay Berry Inc., Second Sunday Cinema, Upward Bound students at Lower Lake High School, Hot Spot Youth Center, Clearlake Waste Solutions, Foods Etc. Sunset Fishing Resort, Rutherford & Associates Realty, Griffin’s Furniture, Safeway, Rays Food Place, Walmart, Lakeshore Bait & Tackle, Jones & Lewis Funeral Mortuary, Shannon Ridge Winery & Vineyards and Wild About Books.
It is a pleasure working beside those who love the City of Clearlake and want it to look its best!
Lori Peters is executive director of the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce.
