Vallecito Lake TV Association provided years of service, donates last gift

The Vallecito Lake TV Association was disbanded recently after decades of great service to the community. They sold the tower to an internet company, using all remaining funds from the treasury to buy an electric sign for the lake and provide for its continued maintenance. The constantly-changing lights and patterns make the messages easy to read. It's a nice addition to the Community Events Center premises, providing everyone with current information on upcoming events.

While we would hope we never have to post emergency messages, it's a comfort knowing the sign will be available for that purpose. It also allows many of us to "hang up our boots" and give up trudging through the snow with a box of letters to change the old sign.

Principals of the association have included John Irving, Bob Thompson, Don McCain, Paul Dunaway, Lenny Sanchez, and Gordon Ratoike. They were the people who truly trudged through the snow!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous donation.
