Tahoe Weekly readers spark joy, passion

Last week, I wrote about how Tahoe Weekly became my business and how it enables me to do what I love – covering the stories of Tahoe about Tahoe locals, written by Tahoe locals. This week, I want to acknowledge our local and dedicated readers.

Our readers are a unique bunch. They are short-term visitors and ski bums that came for a season decades ago and never left. They are second- and third-homeowners who purchased their dream vacation house last year and are those that have been spending a season in Tahoe for two or three generations. They are the first-time visitor whose world was upended by the pandemic but needed a respite like us all and came to Tahoe. They are long-time locals passionate about the arts, about local music, about the outdoors and about Tahoe. What they all have in common is their love of Tahoe Weekly.

There are not many of us that are lucky to work in our dream jobs, in a dream location that also enriches the lives of others. My heart bursts each and every time I get a phone call, an email, a post on social media or am stopped in town or even on a trail by someone who takes a few moments to tell me how much Tahoe Weekly means to them.

I amtruly appreciative of all your kind words; and it’s really been what’s been keeping me and all of us at Tahoe Weekly going through the pandemic. Your kind words, your heartfelt thanks, your personal stories of what Tahoe Weekly means to your family and, of course, your generous donations. It’s because of you that I see us making it through to the other end of this madness.

We continue to need your support to keep us going through the pandemic. Please consider making a donation and sharing our call with your friends and family.

A big thanks to Christin Hanna of Lake Tahoe Dance Collective for her wonderful social media campaign on our behalf. We appreciate your help, your support and the amazing work you do in our community.
