Each year the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce raises funds to support the Clearlake fireworks held during the Independence Day weekend, because it's a good community and family event. The event had been paid for through various fundraisers and through generous donations from the community.

Every year we have been able to raise the necessary funds for this fun and worthy event. But those private dollars have dwindled as some sponsors have left and others have supported other programs. Enough money has been raised so far to book Pyro Spectacular Fireworks, the company who provides and sets off the pyrotechnics. But we are still in need of more financial assistance to fully pay for the event.

No contribution is too small.

We cannot do this fireworks event without the assistance from you, the community.

We appreciate all monetary donations, tickets sales and auction items to sell at the Fireworks Fundraiser Dinner held Saturday, June 6.

Contact the Clear Lake Chamber to reserve tickets or to donate at 707-994-3600. The Clear Lake Chamber is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Thank you in advance for you kind support!

Lori Peters is executive director of the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce.
