Happy Thanksgiving from Lake Tahoe – Truckee California

By

Happy Thanksgiving from Lake Tahoe – Truckee, California!

At this time of year, and the end of the year is in sight,

this is my chance to say

“Thank You” to each and every one of you that has made

each day a great one!  

As someone recently told me, yesterday is gone, and tomorrow is always waiting to arrive, and today, right now, is all you get, so make the most of it.

  Make good choices, do your best, and don’t waste your time

on angry and regret, they get you no where and are a waste of time.

Great advice!  So as I think about past Thanksgivings, and how many years have gone by, I realize there are few words that can truly express my gratitude for the time we have had together.  

For many it wasn’t enough, and for others, I realize now is the time to catch-up, and for those that I will see today, they will get an extra hug today. 

The greatest gift anyone can give you is their time, and

I am profoundly grateful for those interactions.

At this time of year, we reflect on all that we are thankful for, and each day I am thankful for my health, good friends, a wonderful family, a great business that brings me such daily joy, and the happiness that comes from being surrounded by so many exceptional, caring, and loving people!

May your upcoming Holiday Season be wonderful!

My wish is that you enjoy good health, prosperous times, and

memorable moments, as those are the ones that last a life time! 

From my family to yours

Happy Thanksgiving!

Laura

Holiday Tree Lighting – Truckee 2019

Holiday Tree Lighting – Truckee 2019

It is here, the beginning of the holiday season for the greater Truckee – North Lake Tahoe area.

If you are looking for a way to get into the holiday mood, check out the annual “Bud Fish” Truckee Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony this Friday, November 22, 2019 in downtown historic Truckee, California!

We will have several tree lighting events in our area in our various communities and towns, but this is the first one of the season.

It is a great way to enjoy some holiday fun in downtown historic Truckee with the lighting of the Bud Fish Christmas Tree, along with a visit from Santa, hot chocolate and caroling.

This 20+ year tradition will begin at 4 p.m. when elementary school children will decorate the Christmas trees that will line historic downtown Truckee on Donner Pass Road.

At 4:30 p.m. Santa will arrive by the Truckee Fire Department’s antique fire truck and will end up in front of the Bud Fish Tree for the annual Lighting Ceremony, which should happen at 5:15 p.m.

One of the great things I love about living in a smaller community are our local events and their personal connection to them. 

You may not know why this event is called the “Bud Fish” Tree Lighting event. 

The naming of this event followed the death of Bud Fish, a charter member of the local Rotary Club of Truckee, and a longtime resident of Truckee, California.

Each year Bud, who was a forester, would see to it that Fibreboard provided the holiday Christmas Tree for the downtown Truckee area.  He would assemble a crew of volunteers to put up the tree and decorate it.

After his passing, the Rotary Club of Truckee secured, planted, and dedicated a permanent Christmas Tree in historic downtown Truckee in his memory.

In addition to the planting of the tree, which has grown into a beautiful addition in the downtown area, the Rotary Club has partnered with the American Cancer Society in welcoming everyone to the lighting of this memorial tree and anyone can purchase a Memorial Tree Ornament supporting this cause. 

Memorial Tree Ornaments can be purchased inside the Welcome Center for a donation to honor cancer survivors, or to pay tribute to the lives lost to the disease. 

The funds raised go to help fight cancer, and are donated to the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life of Truckee Tahoe. 

For many that attend this annual event, seeing the Truckee holiday tree light-up is so much more than twinkling lights and tinsel.

Here are the event details:

Holiday Tree Lighting – Truckee 2019
