NON-SITS Fun and Opportunities in Tahoe

There's actually so much going on so you're going to want to check out the EVENTS tab on www.southtahoenow.com, but here's a few to get you started!

Raising Support for Maui

SUPPORT MAUI: There are fully vetted charities on Maui that are collecting funds for those affected by the tragic Lahaina Fire. Visit HERE for a full list.

There will be a local SUPPORT MAUI event being spearheaded by a woman who is a member of Soroptimist of West Maui but also lives in South Lake Tahoe part-time. More on that soon but it looks like it will be at end of Sept.

Our club is also organizing a I Got Lei'd fundraiser. See above to get involved in the planning.

As we reverently reflect on the events of that momentous day, let us forever cherish the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Their unwavering courage and unwavering dedication continue to inspire us to stand united and resilient, undeterred in the face of adversity. We extend our deepest gratitude to these exceptional heroes who selflessly serve our communities, safeguarding our well-being day in and day out.
