The Children's Museum of Art and Science (CMAS) would like to recognize and thank the many individuals and businesses who made our fundraising event at Moore Family Winery on April 21 such a great success.
The weather cooperated to provide a delightfully warm and sunny afternoon on the patio. Stepheny Moore went out of her way to give us guidance and suggestions, as well as donations of wine and a concert package of four tickets to one their summer concerts for our door prize.
Reikor and Saro Deacon's group "From the Heart" provided wonderful songs and music with a variety of instruments including a harp, trumpet and recorders.
Chef Robert Cabrero's Culinary Program at Yuba College did an outstanding job with hors d'oeuvres that appealed both to the eye and the palate.
Many thanks also go to the following individuals and business who provided items for our raffle: Linda's Hallmark and Gift Gallery, Lakeport; Mendo Mill; Don Coffin; Rosa d'Oro Winery; Elegant Touch; Ginger Ingersoll; The Grocery Outlet, Clearlake; Case Excavating; Penny Royval; Vintage Hair Co.; Vicki Michel and Kerry Roper at Kit's Corner; Loch Lomand Market and Deli; karen's kreations; Quilting by Renee Carpenter; Lela Prather; Cheryl Sullivan; and Kinene Barzin.
A special note of thanks absolutely must go to Cindy Crandell who displayed immense talent and powers of persuasion selling raffle tickets.
We also would like to thank The Travel Center in Lakeport, Marie's Feed in Clearlake and the Mountain High Coffee Shops in Hidden Valley and Cobb for being our ticket vendors.
Finally, we deeply appreciate all those community members who bought tickets or made donations. In these tough economic times we know that every dollar is being carefully spent and we are grateful that our efforts to provide free art and science experiences for Lake County youth are supported by the community at large.
Many thanks, again, to everyone involved!

I would like all of the 1,500 plus patients of Debbie Fenton at the Upper Lake Clinic to know that Sutter Lakeside Hospital has decided to close the clinic.
This is a disaster for all the residents of Upper Lake, Nice, Lucerne and other surrounding areas who depend on that clinic. Debbie Fenton LNP is very knowledgeable and she really cares for her patients. It would be a shame to lose her and this clinic.
If you want to save this clinic from closing we must rally together as a community and call or write Siri Nelson of Sutter Lakeside Hospital and tell her how vital this clinic is to the residents in this area. As a community our voices will be heard. We need to try or we will lose this medical clinic.
When I was at the clinic last week I met a lady from Clearlake who drives all the way to this clinic because of the outstanding care she receives.
I think the hospital has its priorities mixed up. It spends thousands of dollars keeping up its outside gardens and then it will close a clinic that treats more than 1,500 people. What is more important – people’s lives or a beautiful garden?
This is a horrible surprise for everyone I’m sure. Please if you care, you need to speak up now before it is too late. If you do nothing, do not complain when it is gone.

The Children's Museum of Art and Science (CMAS) would like to give a mighty roar of appreciation to the Lakeshore Lions for their donation to our Lego robotics program.
Two Lower Lake Elementary School students, Cody Sapeda and Alex Schenck, created robots and demonstrated them to Lions' members at a recent meeting.
The Lions had many questions for the two young engineers who displayed their enthusiasm and knowledge with confidence.
The Lakeshore Lions are often cited in news articles for their many efforts to do good things for our community. Many groups like CMAS have been the grateful recipients of their support.
To borrow a phrase from Tony the Tiger....Lions, "You're grrrrrr-eat!!!"
