Three new local restaurants have joined more than 40 participating in the Excellence in Education Foundation’s Dining for Schools fundraising program this year. Montagna at the Resort at Squaw Creek, Philosophy in Truckee and The Grille at Sawtooth Ridge in the Village at Northstar are the most recent additions to the program, which offers each Dining for Schools cardholder 50 percent off an individual dinner entrée at participating restaurants in the Truckee and North Tahoe area; some restrictions apply.
Dining for Schools cards are available for purchase starting Sept. 15 for $50 per card and are non-transferable, with all proceeds benefitting the Excellence in Education Foundation. Cards are valid Sunday through Thursday only (holidays excluded) from Sept. 23 through Dec. 13, and April 14 through June 13. Several restaurants offer an extended period that makes the card valid Sunday through Thursday from Jan. 6 through April 4. Cards may be used an unlimited number of times at any participating restaurant during the valid period.
Beginning Sept. 15, Dining for Schools cards will be available for purchase at Safeway in Truckee and Kings Beach, Save Mart in Truckee and Tahoe City, Mountain Hardware and Sports in Truckee, The Store in Tahoe City and online. | exined.org
