The Canyon Lake Association of Men (CLAMs) Club got together last week for dinner at the Canyon Lake Country Club and afterward made a presentation to the Canyon Lake Little League which included donating $1,000.

CLAMs raises money at its various events throughout the year in order to donate to good causes. The latest recipient was the Canyon Lake Little League that has been impacted dramatically by the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the dinner, Canyon Lake Country Club manager Paul de la Vega mentioned how much he appreciates the CLAMs’ philanthropy and hard work. He said he is grateful for how the club gives back to the community and for the club’s support in having their dinners at the Country Club.

“Giving back is what we love to do,” Harry Larson, the CLAMs president, said. “I speak for the entire club when I say we look for places that could use the help, first in our own community, then outside.”

Mark Inkrote, the CLAMs vice president, said he gives credit to the group of men in the club.

“But, we can’t forget our wives who keep us going,” Mark said. “It’s because of their support of the CLAMs that the club is such a huge success.”
