The boutique was held in the Greenview Room on Sunday, Dec. 6, and over $263 was collected from booth fees and personal donations. These funds will be used to help support the HVLA Fireworks Show held every year.
In addition to the boutique, many of those participating satisfied their food and beverage needs in the Greenview Restaurant and Mulligan’s Lounge to round out their day of gift shopping.
We would also like to thank Mike Zuech, HVLA food and beverage manager, and the restaurant staff for making the Greenview Room available and helping with the Boutique. Thanks also to the HVLA staff and Loralee Anderson for publishing this event in the HVLA View. Many thanks also to the Times Star, The Valley Magazine, the Record-Bee, the South County News, Lake County News and Connie Stufloten, events coordinator for HVL for all the wonderful advertising of our event. You all were great!
A special thank you to the Christmas craft boutique vendors who worked so hard: Joan Worster, Joan Poucher, Bette Fowler, Janet Gill, Twila Brammeir, Debbie Vivette, Sharon Hughes, Rose Marie Bero, Haejin Han, Gretchen McDonald, Carol Brossier, Lola Duensing, Rashelle Peter, Elizabeth Hoffman, Pam Gordon, Laurel Ryan and Pat Hallman. Their crafts were homemade, creative and displayed beautifully.
We look forward to seeing everyone again next year and thanks again for coming!

Members of the Clear Lake Trowel and Trellis Garden Club would like to thank our community for supporting our garden club by purchasing handmade fresh greenery wreaths.
The first week in December our club spends three days making fresh greenery wreaths. With the profits we support our local high school students by giving two $1,000 scholarships.
This year we also wanted to honor our military by placing wreaths on the Blue Star Memorial and the Vietnam Memorial by the Veterans Building and also in Library Park on the World War II Memorial.

Bev Owens' TV8 viewing experience gives me an opportunity to explain what a public access station is all about.
A cable public access station is what is known as a “designated public forum” – the proverbial soap box in the park or rant on the courthouse steps.
A public forum is open to all local residents for any legal and noncommercial use. What is seen on TV8 represents 100 percent of all legal content that residents want to show to the public. No one is turned away. If your interests aren't there it's because you or someone like you didn't submit a video expressing them to TV8.
There is no way anything on TV8 can be un-American. In the context of the democratic process, a pro-American position is any that is offered honestly for consideration and debate.
The un-American stand is one that is promoted while advocating that dissenting voices be silenced.
