The event will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the clinic, located at 15145 Lakeshore Drive in Clearlake.

The Clearlake VA Clinic opened on Nov. 1, 2010.
Since its opening, it has served about 1,200 veterans, according to Judi Cheary of the San Francisco VA Medical Center, which operates the Clearlake clinic as well as outpatient clinics in San Bruno, Ukiah, Eureka, Santa Rosa and downtown San Francisco.
The Clearlake clinic offers expanded services to veterans including primary care, outpatient mental health, immunizations, nutrition counseling, laboratory, podiatry, physical examinations, medication refills from the VA pharmacy, social work services, medical advice nurse, enrollment in VA health care and referrals for specialty services.
For veterans who need help with transportation to appointments, the VA operates a free shuttle service between the clinic and various locations in Lake County on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
An estimated 8,000 veterans live in Lake County. Those not already taking advantage of the clinic's services can call 707-995-7200 for more information, or visit the clinic online at www.sanfrancisco.va.gov/cboc/clearlake.asp.
