Enhancing the lives of women and youth

in our community and the world.

Wishing you, and yours, a very Happy Thanksgiving from all of us...

We did not have a meeting this week so we could all spend some time with our loved ones.

2023 FUNDRAISER: As a club we decided that we will continue to hold an ONLINE AUCTION using our GiveSmart format that has proven to be very successful over the many past years. More to come on that but in the meantime, we welcome Club Sponsors.


Again there will be TWO levels, Premier and Grand and both are spectacular! Please share our information with anyone you know who would like to contribute and benefit from a year's worth of advertisement! Here's our information!

Share Your Thoughts in the Lake Tahoe Resident Survey

As a resident of the Lake Tahoe region, we need your perspectives and experiences related to tourism and outdoor recreation. 

The Tahoe Fund has joined with more than a dozen organizations to create a shared Destination Stewardship Plan. This plan will collectively redefine how destination management can better serve the greater Tahoe region — now and into the future.

Everyone has a role in this process, which is why we need your input.

Please complete this critical 5–7-minute survey that will help guide and improve tourism and outdoor recreation management efforts. Your responses are anonymous and confidential.
