American Century’s Celebrity Golf at Edgewood Tahoe!

Lisa Huard — Thu, 10 Jul 2025 20:59:23 +0000

We once again have a food and a beverage booth at the tournament. Tickets have been sold out so the crowds will be amazing. The event is full of fun, food, and of course, celebrities playing golf! Once again, our organizers, Paula Peterson and Jeanne Prestella are at the helm and ensure that our club participants have all they need to make sales and earn additional funds for our organization. These funds turn into scholarships, awards, programs for our youth, summer reading books, and so much more. Thank you to all who volunteered to help (members and supporters of SITS) and to Paula and Jeanne.

What a remarkable day we had at a remarkable location. Our 3rd Annual Mad Hatter Tea at Valhalla Tahoe’s Grand Hall was everything we hoped it would be. Amazing show by our community, amazing food, decorations, games, and raffles. And the weather was stunning! Congratulations to all of the women (and some of their misters) who made this such a successful event.

Challenge Day is a daylong Experiential Workshop for 7th-12th Graders.

Our members provided information and fun at this year’s Earth Day held at LTCC. The community came out in droves to experience the many booths provided. SITS had a booth to provide our community with information on what we bring to enhance the lives of others and we had a see planting craft activity in the Kid’s Zone Crafts! Everyone had a great time and several community ladies learned about our many projects.

On Wednesday, the Dream It Be It Committee hosted the Mt. Tallac Life Skills group for a tour of the DMV and the Health and Human Services Department. The girls learned about various services offered by each office. They also learned how to navigate through the DMV, and how to work with officials so they are able to achieve a practical goal such as getting a Real ID!
