Submitted by Editor on Mon, 10/08/2012 - 12:14pm
In celebration of Tahoe Area Coordinating Council for the Disabled’s 31-year anniversary, TACCD is being honored by five restaurants and an invitation to fund raise at a local community event. October was chosen for the annual fundraising events to highlight October as Disability Awareness and Employment month.
The restaurants mentioned below will donate a percentage of their income for a selected day; and the locals annual Treat Street safe-Halloween (Pine Cone Motel on 735 Emerald Bay Road) will have members of the Kiwanis Club of Tahoe Sierra’s Aktion Club assisting TACCD in selling hot dogs for a special fundraiser.
The contributions and money collected will increase TACCD’s funding base to make sure important services such as these continue at the same high level: develop low income housing (like Tahoe Senior Plaza, Kelly Ridge, and Sky Forest Acres), make the city more accessible (sidewalks, curb cuts), work with the City on its transition
Restaurant scheduling is as follows: Steamers for lunch, dinner and a City Council Candidate’s Meet & Greet from 6-8 pm (2236 Lake Tahoe Blvd. near Tahoe Keys), Oct.23 and Taqueria Jalisco (3097 Harrison Ave. behind Rojo’s on 10/25).
If there are any other businesses who are interested in participating (another restaurant or another business for raffle prizes, etc., please contact David Kelly at (530) 544-1127.
Each direct donation to TACCD in the amount of $25 will have you entered into a drawing for a helicopter flight for two from the South Lake Tahoe Airport and over Emerald Bay ($140 value compliments of Reno Tahoe Helicopters). You can mail your donations to TACCD, 2572 Lake Tahoe Blvd., Suite 2, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 or leave your donation, name and phone number with the business owner when you stop by for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
