LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Airmen's Association (LCAA) donated $200 to the Children's Museum of Art and Science (CMAS) to support their new Lake County Rocket Club.

Rick Long, president of LCAA, presented a check to Bill Bordisso, volunteer director and leader of the rocket club.

The LCAA is open to aircraft owners, pilots, and others interested in encouraging aviation, enhancing the airport facility’s contribution to the local economy, and ensuring that Lake County’s only public-use airport continues to thrive.

Lampson Field is Lake County’s local link of the National Aviation Transportation System.

CMAS is a volunteer nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free art and science experiences and activities for our youth.

The LCAA has invited rocket club members to take a field trip to Lampson Field to learn more about airplanes, how they're made and how they fly.

The CMAS Rocket Club meets weekly after school on Thursdays at Taylor Observatory in Kelseyville and is open and free for any Lake County student in grades fourth through eighth.
