LAKEPORT, Calif. – The 20th annual Friends of Mike Thompson Ravioli Dinner will be held on Saturday, March 26.
The event will take place from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Lake County Fairgrounds, 401 Martin St., Lakeport.
This year's dinner will feature a fantastic tasting of wines from the Lake County Winegrape Growers. This is a wonderful opportunity for the Lake County wineries to showcase the great wines coming from of Lake County.
The event would not be complete without the music from the “Public Nuisance” band.
Free electronic recycling will be available at the event from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. It is time to clean out closets and get rid of the old cell phones, computers, fax machines and all outdated electronics.
This year the Computer Recycling Center will be giving four newly refurbished Unitel Duocore computers, with keyboards, mice and flat screen monitors, to local nonprofits. Nonprofits must bring a letter on the organization’s letterhead, addressed to Steven Wyatt. Your letter must include your 501C3 number, and a short explanation as to how the computer will be used by your organization.
They will continue efforts to create an event with zero waste by using corn starch and sugar cane plates and utensils.
“Our goal is to have the waste generated by the event to be as close to 100 percent recyclable or reusable,” said Mary Jane Bowker, campaign events coordinator.
Thompson was elected to Congress in 1998. Prior to that time, he represented Lake County for eight years in the State Senate.
Tickets for the pasta dinner are $20 for adults, and $5 for children under 12 years.
Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door the day of the event.
