Incline Village REALTORS, Good Neighbors of Incline Village Committee would like to say thank you to the Incline Village and Crystal Bay communities! Not even fires and ash could stop this community from giving to our local schools. With your help, we raised over $11,000 in cash donations and school supplies. We were able to give each teacher from Incline Village Elementary, Middle, and High Schools gift cards. We had gift cards from Rainbow Printing, Walmart, Target, Office Depot, and many other places. Our list of thank you's is endless, so please take a minute to review all of our wonderful donors on our flyer.
Special thank you to our event Volunteers!

The speed of change is increasing and with it comes the stress and confusion that can hinder us from achieving our goals and purpose. Join us in celebrating the importance of the role that mentors play in our lives and listen to our broadcast. https://skidrowradio.org/weekly-broadcasts/.

For those of who speak Farsi, you're in for a treat with another episode of our work in Farsi, translated and voiced by Maria, one of my mentees in Iran. You'll find her work on our site. Most recently on the topic of Authenticity and Self Esteem.

? It is with heavy heart we share the passing of our dear friend Gordon Wong, who was an integral member of our legendary River Ranch team for many, many years. His memory will live on in our hearts and on our walls among so many others of our famous and infamous friends and family.
If you are able, please join us in celebrating Gordon’s life and sharing your own fond memories of him at Spindleshanks on Monday, September 27.
We cheers to you, Gordon! Missing seeing you around already ?

PINE NUTS
Thanking Our Firefighters

When the lake we love for it’s scenic splendor showed up in a photo on the front page of the New York Times with the caption, “ The lake that Mark Twain once called ‘the fairest picture the whole Earth affords,’ looks and smells like the bottom of an ashtray.” Well, that was enough to sink my heart to the very bottom of Lake Tahoe.
So I donned a mask and walked down to the lake. I don’t tear-up easily, but “the fairest picture the whole Earth affords” was not looking so fair. A lady shouted to me along the way, “You are so brave to be out here walking.”
I responded, “Thanks be to our intrepid firefighters we have the smoke, and not the flames.” Then I evacuated on an unplanned road trip to visit friends in the Bay Area who were
not expecting me…

My Evacuation List looked something like this…
1 Check on the neighbors
2 Grab a Twain portrait
3 Pack a toothbrush
4 Grab a Twain portrait
5 Pack a change of skivvy-drawers
6 Grab a Twain portrait

One nice thing about lifelong friends is that they are always quick to feign they are as happy to see you as they might be to see a winning three-way parlay ticket placed at the Hyatt Sports Book a year or two ago. And too, it’s always entertaining to hear one of them whisper through the kitchen window, “Hide the good silver!”
And then our fearless firefighters did it! Twenty nine hundred of Tahoe’s finest saved the Masterpiece of the Creator, the Lake of the Sky, Lake Tahoe. I thanked my generous hosts for their safe harbor and drove four hours home to the lake, still there, encased in hazardous haze, but still there. I was so elated to be returning home that I realized as I pulled into my drive that I had made the entire trip with my left turn indicator on.
Once again home to Layne Haven, I opened a bottle of Mark Twain’s Private Stock and hoisted a glass on high to our gallant firefighters, hung a few Twain portraits back up on the wall, and called St. Pat’s for a possible venue in which to present a benefit for our firefighters, the victims of the Caldor Fire, and the animal rescue heroes who answered the call. Outside of a grateful look from a grounded hoot owl, those animal rescue folks hardly get any thanks.
I’m happy to report our benefit will be at St. Pat’s beautiful new outdoor amphitheater on the evening of Saturday, September 25th, 6pm-7:30, “The Air That Angels Breathe – An Evening with Mark Twain at Tahoe and the Hawaiian Islands.”
Let’s get out and shout our gratitude…a $25 donation is suggested, more if you can stand it, checks payable to St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church. For reservations call 775-833-1835.
Seating will be limited to 100.

"Palisades Tahoe introduced its new name and logo that honor the resort’s history as a land of legends — home to freeskiing pioneers, Winter Olympians and cultural icons across more than seven decades of ski history."

Blue skies are back in Lake Tahoe and it's the perfect time to schedule your next flight!

SEPTEMBER IS NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH: Prepare to protect.

Preparing for disasters is protecting everyone you love. National Preparedness Month is recognized each September to promote family and community disaster planning now and throughout the year. Being prepared for an emergency includes three basic steps:

1. Make a Plan - talk to your friends and family about how you will communicate before, during, and after a disaster. Make sure to update your plan based on the Centers for Disease Control recommendations due to the Coronavirus.
2. Assemble a Kit - gather supplies that will last for several days after a disaster for everyone living in your home. Don’t forget to consider the unique needs each person or pet may have in case you have to evacuate quickly. Update your kits and supplies based on recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control.
3. Stay Informed - Natural disasters don’t wait for a convenient time. Preparing for them shouldn’t wait either. Start today by signing up for alerts, safe-guarding important documents, and taking other low cost and no cost preparedness actions to lessen the impact of disasters and emergencies for you and your family.

If you have these three components in place you will be able to navigate an emergency situation much quicker with less stress.
