CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Soroptimist International of Clear Lake will feature a discussion on the health of Clear Lake at its luncheon meeting on Thursday, April 27.

The group will meet at 11:45 a.m. at Howard’s Grotto, 14732 Lakeshore Drive in Clearlake.

Lake County District 3 Supervisor Jim Steele, a longtime advocate for a robust lake management program that promotes ecotourism and a thriving economy, will speak on the topic, “Clear Lake, is it healthy?”

The topic was selected by group Vice President Brenda Crandall, the program meeting chair.

“Some say the lake is healthy, some say it’s not,” said Crandall. “We asked Supervisor Steele to speak because of his knowledge on the subject and background.”

Steele holds a bachelor’s degree in biology and a master’s degree in pollution biology, has taught college-level courses in freshwater ecology and environmental policy, worked for the state’s fish and wildlife agency for nearly 30 years and is a registered professional forester.

The cost for the luncheon is $14 per person.

To attend the meeting, please RSVP no later than Tuesday, April 25, by calling Ami Landrum at 707-350-7419.
