Lake Tahoe Posts - Incline Village & Crystal Bay

The Tahoe Prosperity Center is a non-profit organization that depends on Investor support to accomplish our mission. Thank you to all our Investors for your continued support. With your help, we will keep building on the success of projects like Measuring for Prosperity,
AlertTahoe, Housing Tahoe, Connected Tahoe, and Workforce Tahoe.

To the men and women who have tirelessly helped to save our Tahoe homes, we are forever grateful.
It is the efforts of our remarkable first responders, fire fighters, organizations, and those community members who have supported the efforts of fire relief who have given us hope and strength through the uncertainties of the Caldor Fire.

We are incredibly grateful to the El Dorado Community Foundation for their support to those effected through their Caldor Fire Fund.

They have moved forward into their next phase which supports those who have suffered 25% or more structural damage to their primary residence.
Thank you.

Simply the best. Can't go wrong with chicken wings, any time of day.

I am pleased to report that the Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved a lease extension for the Incline Village courts to remain in their location, 865 Tahoe Blvd. Suite 301(September 21, 2021).

If there are any proposed changes to the Incline Village Crystal Bay Township Justice Court in the future I will ensure that the Incline Village / Crystal Bay residents will have opportunities to comment and provide input.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions, thanks!

Rotary Duck Race Evolves to Rotary Duck Drop –

For more than 20 years, the Rotary Club of Incline Village (RCIV) has held a 4th of July Rubber Duck Race as an annual fundraiser. During this event, ducks floated down the crystal clear Third Creek in Incline Village to the delight of kids and adults alike.

Due to COVID, the Rotary Club of Incline Village pivoted to a new date and event, still featuring those cute ducks and pumping even more fun into the event!

For the second year, the Duck event is a Duck Drop being held 10/8/21 (originally scheduled for Labor Day). It will begin at 9 am on Preston Field.

Thanks to two great partnerships with North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District and the Incline Village General Improvement District, the Duck Race is now a Duck Drop. NLTFPD will use their specialty ladder truck and fire crew work to hoist large buckets of numbered rubber ducks to drop them onto a target below; The winning ducks are those closest to the target. In 2020 the event had seven heats, a final Drop, and a Platinum Duck Drop. The proceeds accumulated to over $18,000, a club all-time high. This has since funded many local and some international projects & grants.

The Prizes are $1000 for the Grand Prize, $500 – 2nd Prize, $250 – 3rd Prize, and each heat winner gets $100. The Platinum Duck Drop winner gets half of the prize pot up to $7500!

Prices are $10 per ticket, 3 for $20 and for the high rollers, Platinum duck tickets are $100 each.

Please help us continue to support our community, local businesses, and global projects by buying Duck Tickets at Incline Cleaners, The Potlatch and at ACE Hardware Duck Sales tables each weekend up to the Labor Day event.

For more information, please contact our RCIV Co-Presidents, Lu Sweeney at 510-334-5343; lurn@me.com or Lisa Bernard at 415-987-9395; lisa.b@wecotek.com.

Dress your groovy best, throw on your love beads, and join Tahoe Family Solutions, the Incline Village-based non-profit Family Resource Center, for a “Groovy Night for Mental Health” at their annual Shabby Chic fundraiser. This fun and festive event is being postponed to September 28th at 5:oo pm, a change from the original date of August 31st. Shabby Chic promises to be a colorful medley of 60s and 70s art, music, and regalia. Set in the beautiful outdoor setting of Aspen Grove, the evening will include live music by the local favorite, Jacked Up, dinner, drinks, themed tables, specialty cocktails, and a fabulous art and wine silent auction. All proceeds from Shabby Chic benefit Tahoe Family Solutions free and sliding fee mental health services. “Shabby Chic truly is the signature event of Tahoe Family Solutions,” says Amy Guinan, development director of TFS. “Not only is it a really fun and whimsical opportunity for the community to come together for a great night together, it also provides critical funding for TFS Mental Health Services. The wonderful support we receive at Shabby Chic allows TFS to continually keep mental health services accessible and available to all community members and allows us to keep fees low or completely free of charge. It is our goal to remove all obstacles for community members to access the mental health support they need.” Since its inception in 2013, Shabby Chic has raised nearly $700,000 for our community mental health services that include children’s therapy, play therapy, adult and family counseling, psychiatry services, and medication management. Organizers of Shabby Chic 2021 are hoping to raise $150,000 for TFS mental health services to engage an additional Marriage and Family Therapist, initiate group therapy sessions, and expand community collaborations – particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the mental and emotional toll it has taken on the community. Tickets are selling fast for Shabby Chic and can be purchased at www.tahoefamily.org. Guests are encouraged to wear their 60s and 70s best and join TFS for a great night of live music, food, drinks, dancing – and mental health support.

Peace, love, rock and roll

Shabby Chic, “A Groovy Night for Mental Health”
Date Postponed to September 28th
due to Wildfire Smoke

It was refreshing to see a couple teens vie for this year’s US Open Championship, and see a qualifier win it for the first time ever. Britain’s 18-year-old Emma Raducanu defeated Canada’s 19-year-old Leylah Fernandez, 6-4, 6-3. Happy? As Huckleberry might say, “I reckon not!” I can just picture Emma shoving her teddy bear over on her bedroom bookshelf back home, and standing that beautiful new silver championship trophy up alongside that teddy bear.

We've got something for everyone. Kids love Crosby’s!
