Hospice Services of Lake County offers one-day Bereavement Camp Saturday.
Hospice Services of Lake County recognizes and addresses the unique ways children grieve and heal from the loss of a loved one. Families with children ages 5 years and older who have experienced the death of a significant person in their lives are invited to attend a one-day, free Bereavement Camp. The camp is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 4, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., in Clearlake.
Camp activities are designed for healing in a fun and positive environment with equine therapy and a family art project. Wings of Hope Bereavement Camps are offered periodically throughout the year and are facilitated by bereavement counselors and trained volunteers.
Most of us will experience the life-altering experience of losing a loved one: the death of a best friend, a parent, son or daughter. These losses can be even more traumatic to children and youth. These are powerful personal events that, if not dealt with effectively, can cycle into a landslide of life-changing events.
Pre Registration is required for Saturday's camp, and space is limited. For more information and to reserve space, contact Kathleen Bradley by calling (707) 263-6222, or emailing kbradley@lakecountyhospice.org or visiting the organizations website at www.lakecountyhospice.org
Hospice Services of Lake County's mission is to support and comfort people by providing the highest quality medical, emotional and spiritual care to help patients and their families navigate their end-of-life journeys. For more information, call Hospice Services of Lake County, (707) 263-6222.

Lake County Community Development Director shares General Plan process update at next Sierra Club Lake Group community meeting
The Sierra Club Lake Group will host Mireya Turner, Community Development Director for the County of Lake, at their next community meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2023 at 6 PM. The discussion will be held via Zoom video conference and live-streamed on Facebook. The meeting is free and open to the public. Pre-registration is required to attend via Zoom.
The Community Development Department is responsible for leading the update to the Lake County General Plan and the supporting Area Plans. Turner will share progress and next steps in the process and field questions from the audience.
The purpose of the County's General Plan is to guide land use planning and decisions including subdivisions, development agreements and land use designations. General Plans and other elements are designed to be visioning documents that will impact the county for decades to come. The last update took place in 2008.
"This is a great opportunity for community members to provide input to ensure that healthy ecosystems and outdoor recreation are included as essential parts of community planning and development," noted Sierra Club Lake Group Chair, Deb Sally.
To register for the event, visit the Lake Group's online calendar at: www.sierraclub.org/redwood/lake. Registrants will receive access information upon registration and a confirmation reminder the morning of the event. Zoom space is limited, so the event will also be live-streamed via the Lake Group's Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/sierraclublake.
The Sierra Club Lake Group represents more than 400 Sierra Club members living in Lake County and is part of the Redwood Chapter of the Sierra Club that represents the northwest region of California. The group works to preserve Lake County's wild heritage; protect and restore Clear Lake and its watershed; and promote smart growth, sustainable practices and environmentally friendly development. It also fosters a meaningful connection to the environment for the community to value and enjoy through guided hikes and community events. (Note: guided hikes are on hold while the group secures hike leaders. Those interested, contact Chair Deb Sally at enviracat1@gmail.com.)
