It was a Tech Trek type of morning this past Thursday! Every year the Soroptimist of Tahoe Sierra sponsors three local girls to attend a week long camp at UC Davis to explore the different fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. This year we were able to not only sponsor four of our local students but also a young woman who we had sponsored a few years ago was selected to attend again as a peer counselor!

We were treated to each student telling us about their experiences and which field of study most interests them. This can be a life altering event and we are so happy to be able to provide the funding for young women.

We’ve got a busy week ahead at Cascade Kitchens, and plenty of reasons to stop by! 🍂

One event we’re especially looking forward to is this Friday’s Plates for a Purpose fundraiser in partnership with Soroptimist International of Tahoe Sierra.

A portion of the proceeds from October 16th will benefit Soroptimist’s Education, Empowerment, and Basic Needs programs, helping support local schools, scholarships for women returning to school after overcoming setbacks, and other important initiatives right here in our community.

Plates for a Purpose has become one of our signature monthly events, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to bring our community together while giving back to the organizations that make a difference in Tahoe.

Here’s the full lineup for this week:

• Wednesday, October 14 | 6:00–9:30 PM: Ski Run Presents Frost: The Story of a Lifetime, a film celebrating legendary climber Tom Frost. This event is free, but registration is required as seating is limited. Head to bio to register.

• Friday, October 16 | 5:00–9:00 PM: Plates for a Purpose benefiting Soroptimist International of Tahoe Sierra. Come hungry and help us support a great cause!

• Sunday, October 18 | 12:00–2:00 PM: Community Mural Painting with artist Lindsey Ann Kraft. Grab a paintbrush and help bring our newest patio art installation to life! All ages are welcome, and no registration is needed.

We’ve got a little something for everyone this week, so grab your friends, bring the family, and come spend some time with us at Cascade Kitchens Food Hall & Bar!

Celebrating Tere Tibbetts and the power of community!

For nearly 50 years, Tere (Teresita) Tibbetts has helped educate, inspire, and empower our South Lake Tahoe community. A beloved former STHS teacher and longtime LTCC educator, Tere has made a lasting impact—especially through a Spanish-language book club she started 14 years ago for local Hispanic women.

What began with a dozen women and a shared love of reading has grown into something so much bigger: lasting friendships, educational inspiration, and a community of women who support one another and their families. Now, Tere is launching a second book club to inspire even more women!

Soroptimist International of Tahoe Sierra is proud to support this wonderful program and the women it brings together.

Thank you, Tere, for showing us how a love of learning can change lives, strengthen families, and build community!

Today's speaker was our friend and community advocate, Tere Tibbetts. This amazing woman continues to enhance the lives of others, especially for our Hispanic women members. Read all about it here and pass it along!
