LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Families that benefit from Lake Family Resource Center got a little boost thanks to a bunch of folks with historic cars and wooden boats as the No Name Car Club donated $1,000 to the charity at their meeting on Aug. 14.

The proceeds came from the annual car show held in conjunction with the Wood & Glory boat show, this year at Konocti Vista Casino.

“This is a big help, especially in these times,” said Lake Family Resource Center Executive Director Gloria Flaherty.

This year’s show was quite an experiment according to its organizer, Neil Dolce. There was no charge for admission and no charge for entering a vehicle.

All monies raised were done so through raffle prizes, donations and several local pin-up models donating their time to have pictures taken with the cars.

Another factor in the success of this year’s show was Konocti Vista Casino, who donated their grounds, security and staff to help make the show a success.

“Konocti Vista has been an incredible partner,” said No Name Car President Tony Barthel. “They’ve pulled out all the stops and really allowed us to focus our attention on the car show while they handle most of the logistics.”

The annual gathering of beautifully-restored wooden boats and historic vehicles, hot rods and classics is a popular event for spectators as well as vehicle and boat owners.

Open to all vehicles built before 1973, the show highlights vehicular Americana and the talents of restoration and craftsmanship of hot rodding. On the water, the Antique and Classic Boat Society holds a showcase of wooden boats.

There also was a display of vintage speed boats this year. There also was music, barbecue and a large number of raffle prizes that offered an opportunity to win something special while making a donation that helps others.

Lake Family Resource Center serves Lake County in achieving safe, sustainable, healthy families and community. The center is committed to serving the needs of all families in Lake County.

Most services are provided at no-cost which is why the No Name Car Club voted to donate all the show’s proceeds to this worthy cause.
