LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Livia Kurtz, Kelseyville Olive Festival organizer and Lake County Chapter of California Women for Agriculture member, announced that the AgVenture program and LCCWA scholarships were the recipients of silent auction booth proceeds from the 2013 Kelseyville Olive Festival.

The Kelseyville Olive Festival was held on Sunday, April 21, at Chacewater Winery and Olive Mill and the festival’s silent auction booth earned over $1,000.

The AgVenture program provides an educational overview of Lake County agribusiness for community leaders and is organized by the Lake County Chapter of California Women for Agriculture (LCCWA), while LCCWA scholarships benefit graduating high school seniors and college students pursuing degrees in agricultural related studies.

“We were so grateful to Livia for approaching us with the option to simply staff the festival’s silent auction booth in exchange for auction proceeds,” said AgVenture Coordinator Terry Dereniuk. “The generosity of the community’s donations to the Kelseyville Olive Festival was extraordinary and the event gave LCCWA a chance to talk with the public about what we do.”

LCCWA President Annette Hopkins, Vice President Toni Scully, and LCCWA members Diane Henderson, Carol Maxwell, Terry Dereniuk, and Lori McGuire staffed the booth and gathered membership applications for CWA.  

Several LCCWA members responded to the call for donations for the silent auction including: Wilda Shock, Colleen Rentsch and the Sealy Farm Stand, Andrea Adams and the Soper-Reese Community Theatre, Karlene Ellis, Bonnie Sears, Terry Dereniuk, Paula Bryant and Umpqua Bank, Debra Watson and the Jitter Bean Coffee of Lakeport, Dana DiRicco, Sutter Lakeside Hospital, Susan Feiler and the Lake County Wine Studio, and Livia Kurtz and Rosa d’Oro Vineyards.

“I’ve lived in Lake County for years, and I am always impressed by our community’s generosity,” said Hopkins. “LCCWA wants to thank our donors for their support, and the Kelseyville Olive Festival for supporting LCCWA's AgVenture and scholarship programs.”
