On Friday, March 20, the Lucerne Booster Club held their annual taco feed at the Lucerne Elementary School cafeteria.

The event was very successful in raising much-needed money to sponsor kids to this years’ science camp and supporting our students and faculty at Lucerne Elementary School.

We would like to say a very heartfelt “thank you” to all the merchants that donated supplies that made this event so successful. They are: Kenny Parlet and the crew at Lakeview Market, Jose and family at Kaptain’s Kafe, Brian and Victor at Sutter Lakeside Hospital, Taco Bell, Robinson Rancheria, Bruno’s Shop Smart and Safeway.

We also would like to thanks all the booster club members who gave so much of their time and energy, as well as the staff and faculty at Lucerne Elementary School.

The Lucerne Booster Club and the North Shore Business Association would like to remind everyone that from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 2, at the Harbor Park in Lucerne, we will be reviving the 30-year-old Alpine Art Festival.

Anyone interested in acquiring a booth (there are still a few available) should contact Lani Urquiza at 707-349-5457 or by e-mail at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Hope to see everyone there for a day filled with fun, art and music.
