Have you purchased your ticket to the Tahoe Brewfest yet? Over 1200 other people have and this year’s event is shaping up to be the top of the hops. As well as over 40 breweries, we’ll also be pouring cider, root beer, craft sodas and yes – we gave in – wine! For those of you who don’t like the grain, the Tahoe Pourhouse will be on hand with their unique frozen wine – a perfect refresher for what will hopefully be another hot and sunny day.
If you are, then there is a good chance that it's at the Boys and Girls Club. With Sierra House in residence, our Lost Property Box has reached epic proportions. We have jackets, snow pants, water bottles, lunchboxes, chrome book covers (which I think LTUSD will want back!) and an assortment of bizarrely weird items. Some of it is named, a lot of it is not, but we recommend that all parents comes and take a look as you may not even know that you are missing something!
Our amazing Events and Fundraising Director Nicole Marsel has been hard at work since last November preparing for this year's Tahoe Brewfest. The magic date is Saturday June 1st and already we have sold over 700 tickets for the event. Last year the Brewfest raised over $60,000 for the Club and our goal is to make it the number 1 Club fundraiser this year.
In 2016, over 17% of children in El Dorado County suffered from food insecurity. This was down from the high of 21% in 2013, but still means that in a class of 30 children, 5 of them are going hungry.The good news is that the Club, and our friends and colleagues at other not for profits, are doing great work to help those children.
