I’ve spent a lot of time over the last several months in reflection mood in my personal life and my professional life in regard to my small business as owner and Publisher of Tahoe Weekly.
That reflection brought with it a renewal in my passion for why I love Tahoe Weekly and the great work we do, why I invested my money to purchase Tahoe Weekly in 2013 and the commitment I made to this community and to our readers, clients and staff to produce the best lifestyle magazine I could.
As the seasons changed from winter into spring this year, I felt a renewed sense of passion for what we do in every edition of Tahoe Weekly. It’s been tough owning a lifestyle magazine during a pandemic with so many things closed, but it’s been the support from our readers that has really kept me going. Not only with donations to keep our publication going, but also in the countless emails, phone calls and letters about how important Tahoe Weekly has been to families that live in and visit the Tahoe Sierra.
In our March edition, I introduced a new cocktail feature and this month, I debut our new Life in Tahoe feature. In every edition, we’ll be working with local nonprofits and agencies to bring important information to our readers to inform, educate and inspire. Topics will range from interesting local tidbits, to answering the questions I am asked the most, to information to protect our environment and our wildlife, to tips on how to help protect our community and much more.
A big Thank You to my friend Heather Segale, Education and Outreach Director for UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center, for listening to my ideas, sharing her thoughts and giving me some great resources that helped develop this new feature.
For the first Life in Tahoe feature, BEAR League founder and director Ann Bryant shares valuable information and tips on “Tahoe’s bears are awake: What you need to know.” Please take heed to her tips and help protect our wildlife.
I already have a list of other topics I want to cover, but if you have something you’d like to share with our readers or have a question about something, email editor@tahoethisweek.com.
In this edition, I’ve also added metrics to our Lake Tahoe Facts page after receiving a lot of requests from our international visitors over the last year. I used an online conversion tool, so if you spot any errors, please email editor@tahoethisweek.com.
After a modified publication schedule this winter in a digital-only format, our print edition will return on May 19 (we’ll still be offering the digital edition, as well). I already have lots of great stories planned for the summer season and it looks like a number of events and festivals will return.
