LAKEPORT – As the seasons change our thoughts turn to the upcoming holidays, falling leaves, the colors of autumn and football.


Oh, yes, football. It’s everywhere from the backyard games and youth leagues, to Friday night high school clashes and the National Football League.


The Oakland Raiders of the National Football League are offering a very special opportunity for folks to enjoy professional football, salute our troops, honor our veterans and assist a dedicated troop support program. Offers like this are few and far between.


The Oakland Raiders organization is partnering to help Operation Tango Mike raise much needed funds. Operation Tango Mike (“Operation Thanks Much” in military jargon) sends monthly care packages to deployed troops. Sending 80 to 100 care packages per month, funds are always needed and the Oakland Raiders have joined the team to keep the support strong.


The Oakland Raiders and Operation Tango Mike invite you to join in support of our active and veteran military personnel at the Raiders Military Salute Game on Sunday, Nov. 9 at the Oakland Coliseum when the Oakland Raiders take on the Carolina Panthers.


Enjoy hard-hitting, fast-paced football action and special events and pay tribute to those who have served and are serving this great nation.


Your contribution of $100 will entitle you to reserved seating, a limited edition Oakland Raiders camouflage hat and a food voucher. The first 50 purchasers will also receive round-trip bus transportation departing from Lakeport!


This offer is available to anyone wishing to support Operation Tango Mike. Individuals who do not reside in the Lake County area may purchase by calling Ginny Craven. Those wishing to do so may receive ticket packages at the will call office of the Oakland Coliseum.


Ticket packages may be purchased at Umpqua Bank, 805 11th St., Lakeport or by contacting Ginny Craven at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 349-2838.


The purchase deadline is Oct. 31, so don’t delay.


Are you ready for some football?
