CLEARLAKE, Calif. – The Lake County Historical Society will enjoy its general membership meeting on Sunday, Feb. 27, at the Highland Senior Services Center, 3245 Bowers Ave., in Clearlake.

Join the group at 1 p.m. to relax and enjoy listening to the meeting's speaker, retired District 1 Supervisor Ed Robey.

Robey will provide a historical perspective on the founding and growth of the city of Clearlake.

He has been intimately involved with Clearlake. Residents called on him in 1980 to help found the new city, and they elected him to the first Clearlake City Council.

Robey served three terms on the Clearlake City Council and two terms as mayor. He went on to serve eight years on the Lake County Planning Commission and was elected a county supervisor in 1996. He retired from the Board of Supervisors in 2008 having served three terms representing District 1.

Refreshments will be available. Donated cookies and cake to share would be appreciated.

If you have any questions please call President Phil Smoley at 707-349-1008.
