Lake County Tree Planting

Lake County >> Two days after flames blasted the hills of Cobb, Hidden Valley and Middletown, Jennifer Strong was making phone calls. She was reaching out to the four separate Rotary clubs around the lake, bringing them together to form the Lake Area Rotary Club Association (LARCA). She was chasing after $50,000, which she hoped to raise for fire victims.

To say the LARCA surpassed that goal would be an understatement. Over a year later and the association had received $950,000 in donations. They’re inching toward the one million mark, and they very well might hit it.

LARCA never expected to reach such an astounding number.
