In celebration of Tahoe Area Coordinating Council for the Disabled’s 31st year anniversary TACCD is being honored by five restaurants that includes an invitation to the community.

October was chosen for the annual fundraising events to highlight Disability Awareness and Employment month.

The restaurants mentioned below will donate a percentage of their income for a selected day.

The contributions and money collected will increase TACCD’s funding base to make sure important services such as develop low income housing (like Tahoe Senior Plaza, Kelly Ridge, and Sky Forest Acres), make the city more accessible (sidewalks, curb cuts), work with the city on its transition plan to become fully ADA compliant, and to continue efforts to encourage return of good and reliable transportation continue at the same high level.

Restaurant scheduling is as follows:

Oct. 10 — Jalisco Grill for lunch and dinner (2660 Lake Tahoe Blvd., Town and County Center)

Oct. 16 — Ernie’s Café for breakfast and lunch (1207 Emerald Bay Road)

Oct. 17 — Passaretti’s for lunch and dinner (1181 Emerald Bay Road)

Oct. 25 — Steamers for lunch, dinner and a City Council Candidate’s Meet & Greet from 6-8 pm (2236 Lake Tahoe Blvd.) and Taqueria Jalisco (3097 Harrison Ave.).

If there are any other businesses who are interested in participating, contact David Kelly at (530) 544.1127.

Each direct donation to TACCD in the amount of $25 will have the donor entered into a drawing for a helicopter flight for two from Lake Tahoe Airport over Emerald Bay ($140 value compliments of Reno Tahoe Helicopters). Mail donations to TACCD, 2572 Lake Tahoe Blvd., Ste. 2, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 or leave donation, name and phone number with the business owner when you stop by for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
