MIDDLETOWN – As a traditional part of its holiday community involvement, Twin Pine Casino & Hotel has kicked off its annual effort to gather food items for local families in need.
Casino guests can bring in two cans or two boxes of non-perishable food any time during Harvest Club hours (8:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.) through Dec. 11 and receive a drawing entry ticket into the casino’s current cash or merchandise giveaways.
Guests can earn two entry tickets per day in this manner, although additional food donations will be gratefully accepted. Other entry tickets can be earned through slot or table play.
“For the past several years this has been a popular way for our guests to enter our drawings, win cash or prizes, and also help the local community in the process,” said Phil Davis, Twin Pine’s marketing director.
Casino, hotel and restaurant employees are also participating directly in the food drive through an internal team competition to see which employee teams can raise the most donations from various sources. The team competition is voluntary, but the participation rate is good-natured and very high.
Twin Pine has chosen the Catholic Charities Lake County Programs Rural Food Project in Middletown to be the recipient of all of the food that is accumulated.
“We are so appreciative of the generosity of our neighbors and friends as we endeavor to stave off the hunger that record numbers of people are now experiencing,” said Hedy Montoya, regional director of the Lake County food project.
Twin Pine Casino has operated a Las Vegas-style gaming facility of the latest slot machines and table games since 1994.
The Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians recently opened its new casino/hotel/restaurant complex at its current Middletown location.
Twin Pine Casino & Hotel, with its pervasive wine-country theme, is located in Lake County, California at the northern gateway to the world-renowned Napa Valley and in the heart of northern California’s famous wine region.

SACRAMENTO – On Oct. 24 Caleb Blyleven, Chris Lasher and Brenden Allen represented Lakeport's Cub Scout Pack 142 and were welcomed by Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and the Scouts of the Golden Empire Council who put together the California Capitol March.
Police cars and a United States Air Force Marching Band of the Golden West led approximately 6,500 Scouts on their mile-and-a-half-long trek from Raley Field to the west steps of the state capitol to the centennial ceremony.
The ceremony featured speakers including Chief Scout Executive Bob Mazzuca as the “Boy Scouts of America California Report” was presented to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
This event marked the Boy Scouts' first observation of the organization's 100th anniversary, which is Feb. 8, 2010.
The youth group, which teaches children from ages 7 and up about the value of responsible citizenship, has had more than 110 million members since its founding in 1910.
