in the house of representatives
Mr. THOMPSON of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Lake County Wine Alliance for their 25 years of service to our community.
County wineries, winegrape growers, vineyard owners, related businesses, and community supporters. Formed in 2000, the Lake County Wine Alliance is a nonprofit organization operated under the guidance of a seven-member volunteer board of directors with the purpose of supporting charitable and other local programs. Each year, the Lake County Wine Auction donates its proceeds to local organizations and charities whose activities are in keeping with the Alliance's charter.
Lake County, providing sustained support for youth education, arts, agriculture, and community well-being. They have raised over three million dollars in support of Lake County nonprofits. Their beneficiaries include local organizations such as all five Lake County High Schools Fine Arts and Future Farmers of America (FFA) programs, several local culinary programs, Lake County 4-H, Lake County Rural Arts Initiative, World Wide Healing Hands, Friends of the Lake County Library, and the Clearlake Senior Center.
President Kaj Ahlmann, Vice President Marie Beery, Treasurer Robert Rouniguiere, Secretary Beth Havirilla, and Directors Weston Seifert, Angie Shannon, and Raven Sprauge.
Mr. Speaker, we thank the Lake County Wine Alliance for their dedicated service to our community. Therefore, it is fitting and proper that we honor them here today for their 25th anniversary.
