LAKEPORT, Calif. – Yolonda Avelar, a Salvation Army coordinator in Lake County, won the first prize of a hand-sewn quilt in a recent draw at the Lakeside Family Fun & Event Center.

The quilt was created and donated by Joyce Pierson of Lakeport as part of the fundraising effort for “Yes on M,” the senior rent control measure on next June's ballot.

The “Save Our Seniors” campaign collected signatures earlier this year to place the initiative on the ballot.
