The community is invited to an upcoming affair celebrating first responders and law enforcement professionals, in Lake Isabella, October 1.
Founder of the Kern River Valley Bridge Connection (KRVBC,) Karen Zuber announced the event, which the KRVBC is hosting, at 6069 Lake Isabella Boulevard.
Angels Roost will be playing at this special event dedicated to our heroes.
Zuber spoke about the event at the Kern Valley Exchange Club luncheon, at Paradise Cove Lodge, Thursday September 12. “I am just excited to be here again today. You guys have heard a lot about the KRV Bridge Connection. And we will be celebrating a Neighbor to Neighbor event on October 1st, National Night Out. I believe it’s the first time in all of Lake Isabella that we’ve done the National Night Out that’s celebrating our Law Enforcement and First Responders,” she said.
The same evening the KRVBC plans to allow the public to tour its new facility. The KRVBC will be offering valley residents assistance, at a new centralized location, with various services, from multiple agencies eager to help those in need.
The KRVBC is in the process of renovating the inside of the building. Workers did concrete work and worked on the roof outside recently. And the inside of the facility should be ready, by this upcoming event, according to Zuber.
Zuber explained that the Neighbor to Neighbor grant was networked to locals after KRVBC held pop up events attaining attention from the county. The state awarded toward four entities, in Kern Valley, shares from the $500,000 grant to help bring the community together. According to Zuber, Kern County received $100,000 of the grant to pay for oversight of the grant. The four organizations get awarded $25,000 each year, from the grant, to put on events, which bring neighbors together.
The public is invited to volunteer at any of the entities, which received Neighbor to Neighbor grant money. The four organizations receiving the grant money were Sierra Shared Spaces, Hopester, Kern River Valley Art Association, and Riverstone Wellness.
