KELSEYVILLE – Lake County Republican Women Federated's next luncheon meeting will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 12.
The meeting will take place at Zino's Ristorante & Inn, 6330 Soda Bay Road, Kelseyville.
Social time begins at 11 a.m., with the meeting starts at 11:30 a.m. Lunch is at noon.
This month's guest speaker comes from Marin. Jan Miller is co-founder with Jane Alexander of Citizens Against Homicide. Alexander passed away last December.
The two women spoke to the group a number of years ago, shortly after Alexander's book, “Citizen Jane,” came out.
They came to Lake County to arrange for a large billboard to help law enforcement find the person who killed an elderly couple in the Nice/Lucerne area. Thanks to there efforts the crime was solved.
They feature a monthly "Victim's Profile' in their newsletter. The Barbara LaForge murder in Lakeport was featured.
They list parole board information, help family members keep murderers in jail, and offer guidance through the complicated criminal justice system including trial and courtroom support.
Alexander's story is scheduled for a TV movie sometime this September.
Come and find out all the other things, too numerous to list here, that CAH does. Perhaps there is something you can do to help.
For reservations call group treasurer Janeane Bogner, 707-998-3280. Non-members and both men and women are welcome.

Firefighters will hold two “Fill the Boot” fundraisers at the following locations:
Aug. 2, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in St. Helena, Yountville and Napa;
Aug. 2, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Middletown (downtown and at Twin Pine Casino);
Aug. 9, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Sebastopol, Cloverdale, Sonoma and Guerneville.
The last two locations will be in Lakeport and Brooks with date and times to be announced.
Local firefighters are asking local residents to come out and help support the Muscular Dystrophy Association and Jerry’s Kids.
Each dollar dropped into a firefighter’s boot will go to support local MDA services: research for neuromuscular diseases, the clinic at UC Davis, summer camps and community education.
The MDA does not receive funding from state, federal or local governments, nor does it seek or receive fees for services.
The fire service as a whole has been a long running supporter of the MDA. Its history began in 1952 when the father of a child who was burdened with a neuromuscular disease, in desperation, sought the aid of George Graney, IAFF Local 718 member and the help of the Boston Fire Company.
Immediately, 20 firefighters set out to conduct a door-to-door canister drive that raised $5,000 to help with the child’s medical expenses. In August of 1954, Graney spoke at the IAFF’s (International’s Association of Fire Fighters) biannual convention and proposed that MDA be established as the International’s “charity of choice”. He gained unanimous approval and this marked the beginning of a formal bond between IAFF and MDA.
Cal Fire took on the challenge to support Jerry’s Kids in 2008, statewide. This is CAL FIRE’s second year of involvement with the “Fill the Boot “fundraisers for MDA and we will continue to do so until there is no need for fundraisers.
