Volunteer Trails & Vistas

Trails & Vistas is an art hike created by people who love the blending of art in nature. Starting in 1994, the art hikes have grown and thrived through the energy of people who “give with their heads, hands and hearts,” said Nancy Tieken Lopez, creative and executive director of Trails & Vistas.

People with different talents volunteer for Trails & Vistas every year. Serve as an art hike storytelling guide, a greeter who welcomes visitors to the art hikes or world concert, volunteer during the Arts in Nature Field Trips for third grade students on Tuesday, Sept. 9 or help out in the largest fundraiser of the year, Truckee’s Historical Haunted Tour on Oct. 16 & 17.

E-mail paula@trailsandvistas.org no later than Thursday, May 1 if you have the passion, agility and time to be an art hike trail leader on Sept. 6 and 7 or tour guide on Oct. 16 or 17. If you would like to volunteer as a trail caboose, greeter, helper with event registration or set up, e-mail Paula and include your phone number, the event you would like to volunteer for (September Art Hikes or October Historical Tour) and volunteer role of interest.

All art hike guides and Historical Haunted Tour guides will be invited to a volunteer brunch on Sunday, May 18 from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at The Cedar House Sport Hotel in Truckee.

Game and Soup Nights

Spring has sprung the grass has riz, I wonder where the flowers iz (with apologies to Ogden Nash)? Since it’s a tad warm for people to come in from the cold, you are simply invited to enjoy the last few weeks of Game and Soup Nights on Thursday. Meet at the North Tahoe Event Center, 5-7 p.m. from now through May 15. The event may get extended or changed for the summer months but that depends on attendance and how much interest we continue to get. Soup & Games night is an evening where anyone can come enjoy socializing, hot soup and sandwiches, and board games. Cribbage is popular, as is Yahtzee and there is usually a table with card games (sorry no betting allowed). Attendees get to take home left overs (if there are any) and admittance is by donation or free depending on your mood. Dress is casual and children are welcome with well behaved grown-ups.

Vegetarian offerings available. Sandwiches are lunch meat and cheese, just cheese and PB&J. Donations of dollars and food are gratefully accepted. If you are interested in volunteering swing by or call Meera at 775-230-1066.
