I issued an impassioned plea for donations in our last edition to Help Keep Tahoe Weekly Alive as we struggle to keep our local magazine going in these challenging times. I’ve been touched by the donations that we’ve already received and by the many, many emails, phone calls and messages in support of our efforts.
It’s been an emotional roller coaster for me and my staff and contributors, as with many other small businesses in recent months. Putting lives and businesses on hold until it’s safe, opening slowly, then quickly and then closing many local businesses down or severely restricting their operation to the point where I fear many will close permanently. I’m determined not to let that happen to Tahoe Weekly without putting up one hell of a fight. Hence, my call for support.
We’re profiling some of our contributors and staff in this and future editions as part of our outreach campaign to introduce you to some of the many locals, like myself, that put their hearts and souls into every edition of Tahoe Weekly. It’s a joy to work with each and every one of them.
Shop & dine Tahoe
I’ve always been a big supporter of the Shop Local movement and that includes dining in Tahoe. Our clients, the ones that buy advertising in each edition of our magazine, need your help, too. They are all struggling like you and I are, and we can support them by shopping at their stores, ordering take out or dining outside if you feel comfortable, buying locally roasted coffee, getting a growler from a local brewery, buying your new mountain bike, hiking shoes or kayak from local outfitters, buying local art, taking an outdoor or virtual yoga class from a local studio, and the list goes on.
Shopping, recreating and dining at our advertisers is what’s going to keep Tahoe Weekly going in the long run.
Please dine out or order take out from Spindleshanks, Christy Hill, El Toro Bravo, Lanza’s, Las Panchitas and Jason’s. Or, make it yourself with fresh produce from Tahoe Food Hub or hire The Seasoned Sage to prepare your meals for you. Hire Lou Phillips to curate your wine collection.
Please take your next adventure with AWS Incline, Tahoe City Marina, Obexer’s, Tahoe City Kayak or Tahoe Adventure Company. Please shop at Steve Schmier’s Jewelry or Mountain Hardware. Play a round of golf at the Tahoe City Golf Course. Go to the drive in or rent a virtual movie from Tahoe Art Haus.
Store your boat this winter at Tahoe Boat Management. Buy Mark McLaughlin, Kathryn Reed and Barbara Keck’s books. Hire Sideshow Bob, Rooster to Cricket, Cut-Rite or Mountain Tree Services for your home needs. Follow TART’s message and ride the free bus. Learn from UC Davis’ Summer Science Speaker Series. Use Tahoe Forest Health Systems for your medical needs.
Follow the message from Sierra Senior Services to wear your face mask (it’s required). And, as the North Lake Tahoe Resort Association says: “It’s time to get outside and help boost our local economy.”
I ask you to consider making a donation to Tahoe Weekly and support our advertisers.
