Rotary Club of Clearlake to host 30th annual Community Christmas Dinner Dec. 10
CLEARLAKE, Calif. — The Rotary Club of Clearlake Community Christmas Dinner is returning this year.
The group will host the annual dinner and Christmas celebration on Saturday, Dec. 10, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Burns Valley School, 3620 Pine St.
This is the 30th year Rotary has hosted the event.
The club reported that this is its most satisfying and enjoyable community event, and has always been heartwarming and fun, with Santa on hand and a delicious meal served. Rotarians said they are excited to return to in-person dining this year.
Rotary offered its thanks to Foods, Etc. for its contributions in support of this event. They will also have a special treat this year, 600 portions, donated by La Chilanguita Mexican Restaurant in Clearlake.
Locally the Meals on Wheels program delivers meals to about 200 registered recipients. All food and packaging supplies for recipients will be provided to the Meals on Wheels program as part of this celebration event. This extra warm meal of ham and all the fixings, along with pumpkin pie, is a special holiday treat.
Santa Claus and his elves will visit with about 600 children, taking the time to ask each child what their special Christmas wish is. Children also will receive a souvenir photo with Santa and a toy to take home with them.
The Warm for The Winter event featuring All Things Warm will also be back this year and run simultaneously with the celebration event.
Worldwide Healing Hands volunteers will be on hand with giveaways and will provide free health screenings.
The Lake County Public Health Department also will be on hand to provide flu shots while supplies last.
Lake County Behavioral Health will have prevention teams (mental health and substance abuse services) on site to provide resources and freebies.
“The Rotary Club of Clearlake loves and appreciates the community we serve. We are extremely excited and happy we are able to bring this event to you, our community, in-person again,” the group said.
