LAKEPORT, Calif. – American Red Cross, Sonoma & Mendocino Counties is joining Red Cross volunteers of Lake County to provide disaster response and other Red Cross activities in Lake County.


A welcome and recruitment event for current, former and new Red Cross volunteers is planned for Tuesday, Oct. 26, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Lakeport Senior Center, 527 Konocti Ave.


All are welcome to attend.


The event will include information about classes and volunteer opportunities, as well as snacks. It will feature class sign-ups for CPR and first aid, volunteer sign-ups for disaster sheltering and emergency response vehicle training, and volunteer sign-ups for Service to the Armed Forces.


The primary Red Cross activities in Lake County now include disaster response, CPR classes and Service to the Armed Forces. Red Cross continues to maintain an office at the Lake County Fairgrounds, 401 Martin St., Lakeport.


The new arrangement allows the Red Cross to provide better support to the community in Lake County. Yolo County Red Cross, which was formerly combined with Lake County, is now part of the Sacramento-Sierra Chapter.


Interested individuals can call for more information about the volunteer event or the Red Cross in general: Pam Plank, disaster chair, Lake County Red Cross, 707-272-3665, or call the Red Cross office at the Fairgrounds, 401 Martin St., Lakeport, 707-263-8451.


American Red Cross, Sonoma & Mendocino Counties (which includes Lake County) is a neutral, humanitarian organization that provides relief to victims of disasters, and prepares people to prevent and respond to emergencies.


Like all Red Cross chapters, the local chapter is self-sustaining and is funded by local contributions. All assistance to disaster victims and to members of the armed forces provided by the Chapter is free and made possible by voluntary donations of time and money by the people of Sonoma and Mendocino Counties.


Donations can be made at www.arcsm.org, www.redcross.org, via mail to American Red Cross, 5297 Aero Drive, Santa Rosa, CA 95403, or by phone at 707-577-7627 (707-463-0112 Mendocino local call).

LCICS Charter Council secretary Valerie Moberg said, “As a small, public school LCICS very much depends on the support of the community to continue to exist as a free educational option for Lake County families. This is our largest fundraiser of the year, and while educating the children of our community is a serious business, we all need to have more fun in our lives. With Gator Beat’s live performance, this year’s Live & Give is sure to be our most exciting event yet!”


Tickets can be purchased for $30 per person at the door on the evening of the event, and at Funtopia Toys at 21208 Calistoga Road in Middletown, at the LCICS Office at 15850 Armstrong St., by calling 707-963-3063 or by emailing livegive@lcics.org.
