All proceeds are directed back into our community through educational scholarships, youth activity sponsorships and grants to organizations such as the Live Violence Free Center, Tahoe Youth and Family, the Drug Store Project, Christmas Cheer, Girls on the Run, Tahoe Arts Project and numerous projects that enhance services and quality of life in our community.

The 2014 event will feature Flamenco guitarists, Martin & Vargas, while guests are arriving. We also have Lauren Lindley’s photo booth for a fun way to photograph this year plus Leslie Timmerman, professional photographer, will be wandering the crowd for candid photos of you that you can purchase later. We are having a Dress to Impress Contest with the winning woman and the winning man to receive 2 free tickets to next year’s event.

Each year, our club asks artists from around the Tahoe area to submit entries for our annual poster competition. For 2014 our winning entry was from local artist, Jenay Aiksnoras.  Her exceptional photo, Toast, captures the spirit of this event.
