Local scouts hold Burger Night fundraiser for Thailand Eagle Scout project

Two Whittell High School juniors, Chris Evans and Aubrey Felton, are working on their Eagle Scout rank. The young men aren't doing any textbook effort and have set their goals very high with taking on a hands-on project at a school in Thailand.

To raise the funds needed to complete the project, Evans and Felton have joined forces with the Tahoe Douglas Rotary Club in putting on Burger Night at the Red Hut Cafe Ski Run location on Wednesday, May 6 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

They are heading to Thailand to help refurbish a local school that was affected by flooding. The project includes repainting the exterior, building a playground, constructing a burn pit and installing a water filtration system. Many members of the Rotary Club will be joining them on the trip, including their fathers who are both past Presidents.

Tickets for the Burger Night Fundraiser at Red Hut Cafe on Ski Run Boulevard are $10 each for a burger, a drink, and homemade potato chips.

Tickets are available at the door or you can contact South Tahoe Now to purchase and we'll deliver your tickets.
