Then LCHS Membership Chairman Nick Voegtly will provide his firsthand account of the Gulf oil spill.
Attendees should bring a chair and utensils, including a plate, and maybe some mosquito repellent.
Donations of salads or deserts are encouraged, as hamburgers, hot dogs and soft drinks will be provided free for LCHS members.
Guests are welcome, however, they will be asked to contribute a small fee for the meal.
Lakeside County Park is in Kelseyville, between Konocti Vista Casino and the Clear Lake State Park. Take Soda Bay Road to Park Drive and turn toward the lake. Then turn left on St. Francis Drive and follow the crowd and the signs past the baseball fields to the picnic.
