To the community,

The members of the South Lake Tahoe Yacht Club (SLTYC) are a fun and active group who have a common interest in boating and enjoying beautiful Lake Tahoe. However, this social club is also committed to community involvement and on June 13 the SLTYC sponsored their annual Bread & Broth Adopt A Day of Nourishment dinner at St. Theresa Church Grace Hall.

The SLTYC sponsor team, consisting of Norma Severloh, Nancy Farmer, John Johnck, port captain, and Carol Gerard, vice commodore, had a very busy evening. They prepared silverware, packed over 75 food give away bags, served 105 first servings and 17 second servings, filled left over to go containers, and cleaned and put away the dinner’s tables and chair.

“I was very impressed with all of the hardworking people and the teamwork involved to have everything go like clockwork,” commented Farmer. “I know there is so much more behind the scenes preparation work that happens every week.”

To feed on average 100 hungry community members does require a great deal of work, but just as important is the $250 funding provided by the AAD sponsors. It is a true testament to both the B&B volunteers and the sponsoring organizations that nutritious and filling meals are provided every Monday.

“Having never volunteered to serve at a B&B dinner,” remarked Johnck, “I find it humbling to see this need in South Lake Tahoe.”

Unfortunately, there are many food insecure folks in our community and through the support of organizations like the South Lake Tahoe Yacht Club, B&B is helping to ease the struggle experienced by these folks in need.
