Truckee open swim, Truckee Band telethon…

The Truckee Community Pool will be open for free swim during the holidays through Jan. 4. Monday, Tuesday and Friday, Saturday and Sunday from noon to 2 p.m. Come to the pool and bring the children. Call 582-7725 for more information.

Truckee High School Band students will raise money during the 8th annual telethon Saturday, Jan. 24, on public access stations 6 and 24. The telethon includes live performances and concerts. Proceeds will benefit the Band Tour.

On the tour, the band plays for veteran’s hospitals, convalescent hospitals, children’s hospitals and elementary schools to inspire memories in the old and passion in the young.



“What we are doing for tour is a profoundly important community service that few organizations would be capable of accomplishing,” said Truckee High Senior Shawn Conway. “We tap into lost memories and help bring a smile to the faces of those less fortunate than us. That means just as much as dollar bills.”

The band hopes to raise $8,000 by putting on the annual telethon.



Truckee High Senior Taylor Morfett said, “Not only do we give back to the community but we get a chance to bond with each other and create timeless memories.”
