They will also have nominations of officers for the 2011-12 term.

Come and enjoy a great dinner, meet and greet other historical society members. Bring your neighbors and friends.

The Lake County Historical Society is extraordinary among county historical societies; it has grown to be the largest such group in the county.

The society collects, restores and preserves the artifacts and historic documents of Lake County.

The mission is to encourage research and foster education regarding the county's cultural history. For that reason, they keep their fees and costs as low as possible.

The Thanksgiving dinner is always extremely popular and, especially since the county has recently purchased and is renovating the Lucerne Castle, this topic is also likely to be very popular.

They never want to turn anyone away. Accordingly, please get your reservations in as early as possible so they can properly prepare.

The responses may be found on the county of Lake's Web site at www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Grand_Jury/responses.htm .

The 2009-10 report, along with reports going back to 2001-02, are available online at www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Grand_Jury/FinalReports.htm .
