Soroptimist International of Tahoe Donner (SITD) held its 49th Annual Wine and Restaurant Faire on June 1st at Coyote Moon Golf Course. The fundraising event netted nearly $50,000 to be used for scholarships, grants and community projects. We thank our sponsors, members, and attendees for making this possible. After two previous years of rain, more than 350 attendees enjoyed an amazing sunny and warm who enjoyed food tastings, and wine and beer from local restaurants, wineries and breweries. The silent auction tables were packed with multiple bids and brought in record donations.
