The Rotary Club of Lakeport is thrilled to announce the remarkable success of its recent fundraising event, held on Wednesday, August 24, at the enchanting Wine in the Willows in downtown Lakeport.

The Rotary Club of Lakeport extends heartfelt gratitude to everyone who generously contributed to the Maui Fire Fund. This outpouring of support is a testament to the incredible unity and compassion of the Lakeport community. These funds will play a vital role in aiding the recovery and relief efforts for those affected by the fire’s impact.
