Tahoe Douglas Rotary holds 49th annual St. Patrick's Day Celebration

The Tahoe Douglas Rotary Club is holding their 49th annual St. Patrick's Day Celebration at the Harrah's Lake Tahoe Convention Center from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Friday, March 17.

It started with a wine and cheese party on the second floor of Dart Liquor and it has morphed over the years into one of the top annual fundraisers on the South Shore.

600 people are expected at the evening full of food, fun, dancing and drinking, all in the name of community to raise funds for the Tahoe Douglas Rotary Club's scholarships and grant programs.

Their unique silent auction includes one-of-a-kind items such as two VIP tickets for every concert at the Lake Tahoe Outdoor Concert Series this summer; a ten-show pass at MontBleu; Riva Grill balcony dining experience for two; houseboat, airplane, helicopter tours; a murder mystery dinner party for 20; window seating at Chart House for the 4th of July; beach yoga with wine and cheese party; televisions; a historic fire hydrant and much more! See complete list here.

Even if not attending, people may bid online.

Buffet
The All-You-Can-Eat Irish Buffet features traditional corned beef and cabbage with yellow and stone ground mustards and horseradish along with potato pancakes, apple sauce, baby carrots, fruit salad, mixed greens, and assorted freshly baked breads and rolls. Irish-theme pastry bar and freshly ground Columbian and French roast coffee for dessert.

Wine, Beer and Spirits
The one-of-a-kind "O'Rotary's Cellar and Pub" offers an open bar for wine and beer.
