Hotcakes for Heroes on Sunday
Operation Tango Mike and the Kelseyville Lions will co-host “Hotcakes For Heroes” on Sunday, December 12.
The breakfast will feature hotcakes, along with choices of sausage, eggs, biscuits and gravy. Beverages include juice and coffee. You may also order the deluxe version, by simply requesting “the works.”
Operation Tango Mike volunteers will take orders and serve patrons.
Santa will join us for breakfast, so bring your camera!
The event will run from 8 to 11 a.m. at the Kelseyville Lions Club, 4335 Sylar Lane, with a suggested donation of $8.
Proceeds benefit Operation Tango Mike in the ongoing effort to ship monthly care packages to deployed military personnel.
Operation Tango Mike is approaching 19 years of supporting the troops and having shipped more than 23,000 care packages.
Currently, monthly shipping fees alone average nearly $2000. Coupled with the increasing costs of care package supplies, the all-volunteer non-profit spends in excess of $4,000 per month to send the much needed and appreciated care packages.
For further information call 707-349-2838 or e-mail operationtangomike@mchsi.com.

CALIFORNIA
State Assembly maps near completion
Here’s some more redistricting news from CalMatters’ Sameea Kamal: California’s independent redistricting commission took a big step Monday night toward finalizing its map of state Assembly districts. After many compromises and some large-scale changes to preliminary maps approved last month, commissioners say the Assembly map is one they can “live with” — one that is legal, even if it falls short of incorporating all the community input received. The commission did respond to criticism by splitting a proposed Assembly district that would have stretched about 600 miles from Inyo County up to Siskiyou and Modoc counties at the Oregon border. Although changes are still possible, as it stands now, some incumbents could be drawn out of their districts.
What’s next: The commission will work on the congressional maps this week, followed by state Senate and Board of Equalization districts. It must submit final maps to the Secretary of State by Dec. 27.
