Sotheby’s giving back to community

Sierra Sotheby’s International Realty made donations to Sierra Nevada College of Incline Village and Mt. Tallac Continuation School in South Lake Tahoe.

Incline Village agent Terry Barbery established the Terry Barbery Scholarship Fund for deserving Sierra Nevada College students. The $1,000 scholarship will be applied to the student’s tuition and financial needs for the semester.

Future contributions from Barbery include 5 percent of his commission from every sale and 15 percent of his earnings from clients with ties to Sierra Nevada College.

Sierra Sotheby’s International Realty South Lake Tahoe agent Thane McCall makes his contribution to education in Lake Tahoe this season with $50 dollar gift certificates to each of the 56 students at Mt. Tallac High School. McCall also pays the students a personal visit at the high school and provides the students a party with homemade food. This is the second year of McCall’s donation to students of the school.

Sierra Sotheby’s International Realty is also accepting clothing donations for the Good Shepherd’s Clothes Closet, a Reno nonprofit that clothes the needy, through the beginning of the year.
