Six new members — Jennifer Richardson, Trena Pauly, Linda Beeson, Susan Lucatorto, Barbara Davison and Sandra Musick — were in attendance to enjoy an extensive array of sandwiches and sweets prepared by their own executive board of directors and committee chairpersons.
LCWCC could not be happier to have these new members on board to help out as they get busy working on their 27th annual Mad Hatters Ball fundraiser to be held on Saturday, April 23, at Boutique Winery.
The theme is “International Kindness” and the group will be celebrating food and fashion from around the globe.
What could be an ominous undertaking becomes nothing but a good time with this enthusiastic, creative, funloving group of ladies who come together to host an event that will raise funds for organizations like Hope Harbor Warming Center, Hospice Services of Lake County, Lake County Vet-Connect, and provide vocational scholarships for our local high school seniors.
Tickets for this event will go on sale March 4. If you are interested in purchasing yours, please call Kerry Moore at 707-364-6165.

LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Special guest Tiana Williams-Claussen will talk about reintroducing California condors to their historical Northern California and Pacific Northwest range at Redbud Audubon’s Zoom program on Thursday, Feb. 17, at 7 p.m.
The Yurok Tribe in Northern California has been preparing over 14 years to bring condors, this nation’s largest bird, home to a historic part of its range after a century-long absence.
Not only will this restore an apex species into the region’s ecological systems, but it will promote the Yurok Tribe’s reconnection to this amazing creature that is sacred to the tribe and has great cultural importance.
Williams-Claussen, director of the Yurok Tribe Wildlife Department, will briefly introduce the incredible Prey-go-neesh — the California condor — and describe the traditions guiding the Yurok Tribe's efforts to bring condors back to the tribal ancestral territory.
She will explain the tribe’s step-by-step progress over 14 years to develop collaborative partnerships with the National Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Ventana Wildlife Society, multiple zoos and local hunters.
With the necessary facilities construction nearing completion, the tribe hopes to release the first four condors this spring. In closing her talk, she will describe the Yurok Tribe’s approach for reintegrating condors once they are released.
Williams-Claussen is a Yurok tribal member from the village of Wehl-kwew and was raised in Yurok ancestral territory.
She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in biochemical sciences from Harvard University, after which she returned to serve her tribe. She was instrumental in the formation of the Yurok Tribe Wildlife Department in 2008 and currently serves as department director.
Her native upbringing and formal education combine to allow her to bridge the gap between Yurok traditional understandings of the world and those rooted in Western science. She is working toward a cohesive, well-informed approach to holistic ecosystem management.
