We stopped in to see what was up in the mid-century circa establishment. Rami was at the grill and Patricia was taking care of the front counter.

Two years of hard work and fundraising by the teens at the Boys & Girls Club Lake Tahoe went out the window this weekend when an unknown thief (or thieves) broke into the club and stole the fruits of their labor, a brand new XBox system with games and controllers.

From its beginnings in 1963, South Lake Tahoe residents envisioned a hospital and then built it with their time, energy, contributions and commitment. At times, they “literally” put hammer-to-nail to create the first-ever year-round health care facility at Lake Tahoe – Barton Memorial Hospital. In doing so, these committed individuals and families ensured a better future for future generations and 50-years-later we invite our community to celebrate the hospital’s dedication, growth and future.
