Quarter Mania – Sierra Senior Services, Rideout Center, Tahoe City, Sunday, April 21, 2013

Looking to have some fun this Sunday afternoon? If you are, check out Quarter Mania at the Rideout Community Center on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe, this Sunday, April 21 2013!

Quarter Mania is a fun-filled way to get a bargain. Those that have been to an event before describe it as auction meets “Pick-a-Prize”. You purchase your Bidding Paddle(s) at the door, and you’ll need to bring a bucket of quarters to bid on some wonderful items up for auction. You bid the number of quarters (typically 1-5) assigned to the item you want to win. If your paddle number is drawn – you win!

There will also be Raffle tickets available for purchase and another chance to win some amazing prizes.

You can preview the auction items beginning at 1 p.m., with the auction to begin at 2 p.m.

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 Quarter Mania, or if you’d just like help out the local Sierra Senior Services Center, this is a fun way to do it.
