If you’re looking for a reason to have a fun evening out and a chance to enjoy the wonderful Tahoe fall weather this weekend and experience the beautiful Martis Camp Lookout Lodge facilities that are nestled at the base of the mountains between the Lahontan and the Schaffer’s Mill communities, then this is the event for you while supporting a great local organization.

Proceeds go to support the Sierra Senior Services programs and this event is targeting the Meals on Wheels Program.

Sierra Senior Services feeds and supports Seniors in the North Lake Tahoe and Truckee Communities. Senior Meals on Wheels is a non-profit organization that provides meals to qualified senior citizens age 60+. While I was on their web site, www.SierraSeniors.org I learned the following:

Sierra Senior Services (non-profit group that oversees the Meals on Wheels program) only get 30% of their funding from the government. That means 70% of the annual budget comes from fundraising activities and private donations.
In North Lake Tahoe and Truckee, California area 75% of the home delivered meal recipients live alone.
In Nevada County (Most of Truckee is located in Nevada County, California) 62% of the home delivered meal recipients are over the age of 80.
Over 88% of the home delivered meal recipients rely solely on Social Security.
Approximately 54% of the recipients are disabled.
A $75 donation will help feed a senior for a week.

If you’re curious about the Big Blue Bayou event, or if you’d just like help out the local Sierra Senior Services Center, this is a fun way to do it, or you can just give a donation to their program if you won’t be here in the area to attend this fun event.

If you’re looking to have some fun this Sunday afternoon check out the Big Blue Bayou at the Martis Camp Lookout Lodge starting at 4 p.m.!
