Merry Christmas

Dear Readers:

Thank you very much for being a reader of South Tahoe Now. This has been a whirlwind of a year, and ending with another whirlwind of activity as we all prepare to celebrate the holidays with our family, friends, and loved ones. It seems like just yesterday that we finished our Thanksgiving turkeys and started thinking about shopping for gifts.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Lisa Maloff, the "Angel of Tahoe", continues to support agencies, institutions and the South Lake Tahoe community with her generosity and year-round holiday spirit.

Ten local families will have a merrier Christmas after Lake Valley Fire Protection District (LVFPD), with the help of Katie Long of Thran's Flowers, made sure they had a decorated tree set up in their homes.

Captain Chuck Malone and Firefighter/Paramedic Dusty LaChapelle delivered the trees and, according to LVFPD, were delighted to help deliver and were overjoyed to see the smiles on the faces of the families that received the trees.

Thran's Flowers donated the trees, stands, lights and ornaments.

Good morning and Merry Christmas Eve Lake Tahoe skiers and riders! If you are visiting Lake Tahoe, welcome!

Today is Saturday, December 24.

MOTHER NATURE AND SANTA DELIVERED EARLY WITH FRESH SNOW REPORTED AT ALL RESORTS AND SHAPING UP TO BE GREAT CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY WEEKEND. GET OUT TODAY… HAVE FUN AND PATIENCE WITH HOLIDAY LINES… STAY ON OPENED RUNS ONLY AND BE SAFE!

TODAY’S WEATHER (NWS GREATER LAKE TAHOE AREA): Expect Snow Showers with accumulation up to 3”. Highs: 23F to 28F. West winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 50 mph in the morning.

Not wanting to leave animals out of the holiday excitement, the South Lake Tahoe Police Canine Association (SLTPCA) joined forces with Pet Station on Christmas Eve to give presents to some furry friends at the animal shelter.

It may have been snowing outside but it was warm inside the El Dorado County Animal Services office as gifts were brought in by the SLTPCA who had received a wish list from the agency.

Pet Station offered to help the officers in fulfilling the wish list.

It appears that Santa's elves were busy at the South Lake Tahoe Children's Memorial this week. The memorial, located on the corner of Highway 50 and Wildwood Avenue, got a holiday makeover. Not only was the area decorated for the Christmas but there was a stocking placed at the site in memory for each local child who is memorialized there.

Organizers don't want any child to ever be forgotten nor do they want them to be without their own Christmas stocking for a little something from Santa.

Tuesday, Dec. 18 will be an opportunity for all to have a nice, healthy dinner and support both Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care and Tahoe Youth and Family Services.
Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care will be at Freshies, 3330 Lake Tahoe Blvd., South Lake Tahoe, 5 to 9 p.m. for a photograph showing of some of the birds and animals we've cared for recently and will answer any questions.

South Lake Tahoe firefighters would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and to remind you that when decorating your home, please inspect your lighting ...www.laketahoenews.net/.../warning-be-sure-...
