Lake California has much to offer. The Community is a planned unit development created in the 1960's. However, I'm often surprised when speaking to business professionals, from our region, that have not visited the community in many years. Perhaps the fact that the community is a privately gated PUD lends to that experience. However, visitors are welcome. The community has experienced considerable growth in recent years. This allows numerous unique community sponsored activities such as the recent Independence Day, "Community Celebration." I don't know of another all day celebration like it in the region. The activity is just one example showcasing The Lake California LifeStyle. 6:30 Walk around the 100 acre Lake California. Healthy snacks are provided 7:30-9:00AM Show & Shine Registrat... 07/10/2011
