This year the event is being held at the Clearlake Community/Senior Center at 3245 Bowers Lane in Clearlake.

The annual Lake County Land Trust dinner is a fun evening of fellowship, good food, Lake County wines and a great silent auction.

The auction features local art, photographs, and lots of interesting activities and services donated by Land Trust supporters.

This year, the popular Blue Collar Band will perform during the social hour that starts at 6 p.m. to be followed by dinner, which includes wine, and dessert.

A short program will review Land Trust activities over the last year and the Lake County Land Trust Supporter of the Year will be honored.

The event starts at 6 p.m. with a no-host bar serving wine and beer.

Dinner will be served at 7 p.m. and includes wine on the table, followed by dessert.

Tickets are $50 per person and the public is cordially invited.

For information call Roberta Lyons at 707-994-2024.

The Twitter forum is an extension of a conversation that began in June 2009 when the Governor asked the public for new ideas on the state budget. This discussion spurred one of Twitter’s most popular trending topics with its use of the #myidea4ca hashtag.

“I am personally committed to making government more accessible and responsive through social media tools like Twitter and MyIdea4CA,” said Schwarzenegger. “I’ve gotten great feedback from Californians through Twitter, and I’m sure that this new Web site will allow us to hear more ideas and help identify new ways to approach the challenging situations that face our state.”

Ideas can be submitted to the Web site through a Twitter account with the hashtag #myidea4ca.

MyIdea4CA.com centralizes the Twitter conversation by indexing tweets so they can be searched, sorted and ranked. It also extends the conversation by allowing users to vote and add comments.

Through this new Web site, the #myidea4ca hashtag has now been expanded to include 18 categories that cover issues ranging from transportation to state parks.

Needed are those with computer skills to add what makes Lake County unique to a National Geographic Web site which will promote geotourism on the North Coast.

If you have some time each week, you can work on your own computer, receive nominations via email, conduct research the Internet and make local calls for more follow up information.

This volunteer position can be for those of any age who love Lake County.
