Teo Yelle, a part-time classified employee at Lake Tahoe Community College Child Development Center who has worked for the past five years as a teacher in the infant room, recently became very critically ill and medical bills are mounting.

An account has been set up at Bank of the West to help the family. To donate, either go to Bank of the West or drop off a check at the Lake Tahoe Community College CDC.

CDC is having its annual Harvest Festival Oct. 31 from 10am to noon in the CDC parking lot. All proceeds will go directly to the family. Children welcome.
