Tahoe Truckee Sunshine Letters

Thank you Rotary Club of Truckee for your generous support of youth programs in the Civil Air Patrol. Your contribution will be used to introduce our youth to aviation, search and rescue and disaster relief training, but more importantly helps build our next generation of community leaders and volunteers. The Civil Air Patrol cadet members participate in diverse training and when qualified, may actually use the training to carry out state and federally assigned search and rescue or disaster assistance missions. As an all-volunteer organization, the Rotarians funding will help us prepare for these missions in and around the community. We welcome youth over 12 years old, so check us out at the Truckee Tahoe Airport. Thank you, Rotarians, for everything you do. Semper vigilans!Mike ScottCivil Air PatrolTruckee Tahoe Airport

Id like to thank Dr. Bree Montana, Dr. Brielle Hecht, and the entire staff at Agate Bay Veterinary Hospital. In the spirit of working together, the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe took in 10 cats and kittens from their office. In return, the doctors and staff generously donated their time and spayed/neutered many HSTT animals. In these tough times, every little bit helps and the tireless work of the team at Agate Bay went a long way toward helping our organization save even more lives this winter.Im very proud to be a part of community that shows such care and compassion for our homeless pet population. Its only by working together that we can all truly make a difference.Nanette CronkAnimal Programs ManagerHumane Society of Truckee-Tahoe
