Fundraiser for local woman with lymphoma
Longtime local Kathie McWilliams was suddenly diagnosed with lymphoma. She had to quit both her jobs to receive immediate treatment in Truckee.
There will be a fundraiser for her Nov. 13 from 4-9pm at the Flight Deck restaurant at Lake Tahoe Airport. Tickets are $20 in advance and may be purchased at Blue Angel, Sunsational Tans, Nepheles, Flight Deck and Meyers Downtown Cafe. Admission at the door will be $25.
Admission includes food provided by Nepheles, Blue Angel and Fasta Pasta and Cakes by Grace, and any entry for a prize. Entertainment will be by Jesse Kalen, Brian Murray, Ken Clark, Super Dave and Frank Benvenuto. There will be silent auction and raffles prizes from more than 50 local businesses.

This is what I love about the SLT community — folks step up to help others! I wonder why Kathie quit her job(s). She is entitled to Disability Leave & Family Leave. Someone should help her look into this, so she can return to work when she is better. I hope she has housing & support in Truckee. I’ve heard really good things about the Cancer Center there (connected to UC Davis).
I hope the Fundraiser is a huge success, and hope Kathie is well, and back at her jobs very soon.
One thing for sure, you never know what the future may hold for any of us! We hear of so many kids and adults that are stricken by unforeseen health problems and I am proud to live in a community that ALWAYS steps up to help! If you have ever met Kathy she has a smile for everyone and would do anything to help a local. Please try to attend and support her this evening.
