Letter: Yacht Club helps out on land

To the community,

The South Lake Tahoe Yacht Club’s sponsor crew had a busy evening at the July 10 Adopt A Day of Nourishment dinner event.  

Helping the Bread & Broth volunteers at their sponsorship meal were SLTYC members George and Liz-Ann Hainsworth, Tina Miranda and Joseph and Bonnie Phair. This hardworking team prepared the utensils, bagged food giveaways, served the barbecued chicken dinner, worked the drinks and dessert table, and ended their evening cleaning and putting away the tables and chairs.

The B&B volunteers at the Monday meal really count on the donor organization and their crew to provide the funding and the work needed to prepare the weekly meal setup and serve the 80 to 100 guests that arrive at Grace Hall to enjoy a full-course, nutritious meal.  Feeding the hungry in the Lake Tahoe South Shore community is the mission of B&B and thanks to generous sponsors like the South Lake Tahoe Yacht Club, B&B can provide meals and food to take home every week for those in need.

Volunteering in any form can be a very rewarding and humbling experience. So often the volunteer crew members who serve at B&B meals are rewarded for their concern and caring by the gratitude expressed by the meal’s diner guests. Such was Hainsworth’s experience.   While serving on the line, the clients were very appreciative.  There was a ‘thank you’ from everyone as they passed through the dinner’s serving line.” 

Thank you to the SLTYC and its members for improving the lives of others.

Carol Gerard, Bread & Broth
