Friday Night Food & Wine Event Is An Elegant Affair
Tahoe area wine and food lovers - mark your calendars for the 34th Annual 'An Elegant Affair' an annual food and wine tasting benefit event held at the Boatworks in Tahoe City on Friday, November 19th, and featuring 28 wineries, 2 breweries, and 22 area restaurants.
This annual event marks the beginning of winter season and is a great chance to get dressed up and enjoy the ambiance of beautiful downtown Tahoe City, while providing critical funding and support for sports programs at North Tahoe High School and Middle School.
An annual fundraiser presented by the North Tahoe Booster Club, this special evening of fun, friends, and of course wine and food, raises money for a very important cause in the Tahoe community, our school athletic programs.
Over the past five years, the North Tahoe Booster Club's efforts have generated over $350,000 to support and develop programs for boys and girls including football, basketball, soccer, softball, nordic and alpine skiing, track and field, and many more. This year, with the continuing cuts in school funding and resources, programs are in even more need of support. The 2010/11 winter sports programs alone require over $13,000 in additional funding in order to keep operating.
These programs have resulted in numerous accomplishments by local students including six state track medalists as well as state rankings in boys and girls golf, volleyball, cross country running, alpine and nordic skiing. More importantly, these programs help local students excel in school, build confidence and become valuable contributors to their community.
The Elegant Affair is held at the Boatworks Mall, an indoor lakeside shopping mall in Tahoe City where guests will enjoy great company and conversation and phenomenal views as they sample delicious beer and wine and appetizers and desserts from numerous Lake Tahoe and Truckee restaurants.
Don’t miss this great opportunity to help the North Lake Tahoe community and enjoy a memorable evening with friends. Tickets are $60/person or $110/couple and available in advance at (530) 583-4929 or at the door.
