President’s Welcome

When we appreciate Tahoe Donner’s open spaces, it is easy to imagine we are seeing untrammeled nature. The historian and the ecologist know the truth: every square foot of Tahoe Donner’s 7,000-plus acres has been shaped and reshaped by a century and a half of human industry and activity.

Consider Euer Valley. Beginning a few years after the Civil War, and continuing as recently as 2014, Euer Valley was home to a working cattle ranch. The valley also once hosted extensive timber operations, including a lumber mill and two narrowgauge rail lines at its east end.

Last fall, I wrote about Tahoe Donner’s enduring relationship with the Truckee River Watershed Council, a local organization dedicated to protecting our regional watershed. That watershed encompasses an untold number of springs, meadows and wetlands, along with dozens of tributary streams and creeks feeding into the Truckee River, several of which originate in or flow through Tahoe Donner.

Recognizing that Tahoe Donner and the Watershed Council have a shared interest in restoring and protecting our community’s natural environment, in 2024 the board directed staff to develop a formal long-term partnership agreement with the Watershed Council. I am proud to report that Tahoe Donner and the Watershed Council have now formed a 20-year recreation and restoration improvement partnership.

Our first joint project will begin this summer with the Euer Valley Phase 1 Project on the western end of Tahoe Donner's Euer Valley property. In addition to restoring and protecting the South Fork of Prosser Creek and its surrounding wetlands, this project will provide a boardwalk and bridge at Coyote Crossing, ensuring safe and environmentally

responsible four-season recreational access within the valley. With construction anticipated to begin this summer, members should expect temporary trail and road closures around the project site.

The total cost for Phase 1 is approximately $3.0 million. However, even before formalizing our partnership, Tahoe Donner had been working with the Watershed Council to secure more than $2.5 million in grant and public funding to support the project, reducing Tahoe Donner’s expenditure to less than $500,000.

As the Phase 1 project name implies, this summer's work is only the first phase of what we envision as a multi-phase, multiyear project to enhance recreational access within Euer Valley and to restore the valley to its natural condition.

To learn more about the Watershed Council and the critical work they do in the Truckee region, I hope to see you at one of the upcoming River Talks that Tahoe Donner is hosting for the Watershed Council on July 9 and October 8. More information is available at tahoedonner.com/events.

In the future, we look forward to completing Euer Valley’s restoration and to undertaking other important projects in partnership with the Watershed Council. With the Watershed Council’s environmental expertise and their successful track record securing external funding, we could not ask for a better partner to help us fulfill our community’s stewardship responsibilities.

As always, please look for me around Tahoe Donner, say hello, and let me know what’s on your mind!

The Buzz: Clubs

4-Wheelers Club

We did a historical mine scouting trip to Death Valley that pivoted due to all the closed roads. The road to the Skidoo Mine was closed, Titus Canyon was closed, and the last third of Cottonwood Canyon was closed. We instead took the opportunity to hike some of the many slot canyons, exploring Sidewinder Canyon, Golden Canyon, Mosaic Canyon and Marble Canyon. This visit to the park, we stayed 30 miles away in cooler Beatty, Nevada, as unlike Furnace Creek, the RV Park had hookups to run ACs. The other benefit of staying in Beatty is that the gas was $3.50/ gallon versus $6.19 in Furnace Creek, and there are friendly burros that like to visit. We had a wonderful time.

Club trail runs coming up soon are visits to the Duncan Peak Fire Lookout, Babbitt Peak Fire Lookout, the Gold Valley Trail and Plumas Eureka State Park. Come join us! Visit td4wheelers.org for more.

9-Holers Women’s Golf Club

Having now completed our pre-season clinics, the Mental Game of Golf and Fitness for Golf, our next event is our orientation and pizza night on June 2 to kick off golf opening week. Opening day is expected to be Thursday, June 5. We follow that up with a New Golfers on Course clinic and regular afternoon play on June 10 and a Bunkers Clinic and twilight play on June 16, where you can bring a guest for evening golf and a potluck.

If you are still unsure whether to join, we want to assure you that we welcome new players and you won’t feel like an outsider. This year, 23% of players are new to the club. We also have a wide range of playing abilities. 21% are new to golf or regularly max out score and pickup, while 10% regularly par or birdie a few holes. If you are somewhere in between, you will fit right in.

Also save the date for our invitational on July 17. Even if you are not a member, we will be inviting everyone (ladies) to join us for this fun event. Check out the calendar and sign up for this season at td9holers.com

American Mah Jongg Club

The Mah Jongg Club is moving to a new location and date for the summer! Thursday, May 29, was our last day at Pizza on the Hill. We are returning to our original Tuesday schedule, from 1–4PM. Our new location will be in the Tennis Lounge, the indoor room at the back of the Tennis + Pickleball Center. See you there starting Tuesday, June 3! No RSVP needed, but please check in at the Tennis + Pickleball Center outdoor window or inside the retail shop and tell them you are with the Mah Jongg Club.

We hope you are all enjoying the 2025 card. Remember to practice building hands with it to become familiar with the different combinations and how they can be switched. The 2025 card has some brand-new, unique hand combinations that add complexity and will require a longer learning curve.

For more information, contact Linda Slattery at lbslattery@yahoo.com or Dori Schick at doridans@hotmail.com

Men’s Golf Club

And so it begins! The 2025 golf season is now underway, and it is not too late to join the club and get in on the action. Our first weekly Wednesday morning golf game will take place on June 4. Our first golf tournament of the season is the Ice Breaker on Sunday, June 8, where we will assemble participants into four-man teams to compete in the fun-filled Shamble event. The remainder of the summer is packed with events through mid-October.

To join the club and to view our 2025 Calendar of Events, visit the club’s website at tdgolfclub.com. For more information about the Men’s Golf Club and any membership inquiries, visit tdgolfclub.com or contact Membership Chair Dave Janiszewski at janiszewski.tdgolf@gmail.com.

Quilt Club

We have already reached the month of the Summer Solstice, when the sun shines the longest of the year. Flowering gardens are everywhere: in colorful pots, window boxes or in nature, where our beautiful local wildflowers abound.

There are many ways to include blooms in a quilt. Whether designing flowers,

as in this sunflowers appliqué piece, or using fabrics with flower patterns, as Ellen Debelak did in this beautiful purple and green top, the sky is the limit!

If you would like to know what we do, feel free to contact me at odette.turmel@gmail.com. The Tahoe Donner Quilt Club meets on the first and third Wednesday of the month, from 3-5PM at the Northwoods Clubhouse (you’ll have to find us, as we may be outside this summer). Whether you are just curious or have a project you need help with, we will be happy to see you!

Women’s Golf Club

The Tahoe Donner Golf Course is open, and we are all excited to be out there playing golf. The course is in great condition after the winter. The Tahoe Donner season kicked off with a season welcome social on Sunday, May 25, where club members reconnected with old friends and met some new ones! Our first TD play day was Tuesday, May 27. Be sure to also join us for our spring luncheon and general meetings on June 24, after golf. We look forward to seeing everyone for this great event. As always, detailed information and a full calendar of events can be found on our website at tdwomengolf.org.

Bridge Club is restarting this summer! If anyone is interested in learning more, please email Gina Vadnais at ginavadnais@hotmail.com

CTrails

Information Center at 15275 Alder Creek Road | (530) 582-9672 | tahoedonner.com/trails

With more than 60 miles of trails and fire access service roads spanning over 5,000 acres, the Tahoe Donner Trail System is one of the greatest assets to the association. It is the ultimate playground for hikers, trail runners, mountain bikers and equestrians to explore. There are many ways to enjoy and experience these easily accessible trails and many more ways to be directly involved in their care and maintenance by practicing trail etiquette and participating in stewardship days. Learn more below!

Your Responsibilities

With thousands of users, horses and dogs, it is important that we all work together and observe basic trail rules and etiquette to keep the backcountry safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Fostering a spirit of appreciation, compassion, stewardship and community is vital to ensuring its continued enjoyment. The next time you’re out on the trails, please keep the following in mind.

Share the Trail

Tahoe Donner trails are designed and maintained for various users and some are for specific user groups. Please respect all signage indicating designated groups, and expect to see all user types and abilities on trails.

Engage With Your Surroundings

Stay present and be prepared for wildlife encounters, changing weather and unexpected trail conditions.

Observe Trail Etiquette

Follow yielding rules, safe speeds and “Leave No Trace” practices.

Greet fellow Trail Users

Kindly communicate with other trail users, especially when approaching from behind. Negotiate safe passes.

Manage Your Animal

Whether it’s a dog or horse, you have a responsibility to the animal and other trail users to maintain control at all times. Dog owners must pick up after their pet and dispose of waste in a trash can; leaving dog waste bags on trails is littering!

Respect Our Neighbors

Stay on Tahoe Donner property at all times. Property boundaries are posted; please observe them.

Reduce Impacts

Only use designated trails. Cutting switchbacks, taking shortcuts or creating new trails is damaging to fragile ecosystems. Stay off muddy trails; letting them dry before use keeps them narrow and helps reduce erosion.

Report Trail Issues

Let the trail manager know about issues by calling (530) 582-9672 or emailing trails@tahoedonner.com

Warning: Construction Zone

Construction will be on-going through South Euer Valley Road and Coyote Crossing this summer. Use caution around equipment and abide by closer signs. Please visit tahoedonner.com/trails for construction details.

Yielding Etiquette

Expect to come across fellow recreationists each time you head out on the trails. Although common sense goes a long way when using busy routes, all trail users should observe the following yield etiquette.

Adaptive trail management practices limit certain user groups to designated trails. Only access designated trails as part of the appropriate group and follow all other yielding etiquette.

Uphill Traffic Has Right of Way

Horseback Riders Have Right of Way

Equestrian traffic has the right of way, but riders should be prepared for inexperienced trail users who are unfamiliar with how to act around horses. Horseback riders should avoid high-traffic and multi-use trails whenever possible.

Hikers + Trail Runners Must Yield for Horseback Riders

If you encounter a horse, foot traffic should step to the downhill side of the trail to let horses pass. Always announce your presence when approaching those on horseback to avoid scaring the animals.

Bikers Must Yield for Hikers + Horseback Riders

If you encounter a horse, bikers should stop, get off bikes and step to the downhill side of the trail to let horses or hikers pass. Always announce your presence when approaching people and horses on the trail.

Note: Class 1 electric bicycles (e-bikes) are allowed on any trails designated for bicycle use. Class 2 and 3 e-bikes and electric OneWheel devices are prohibited on all trails and service access roads.

Dogs Yield to All Trail Users

Dogs must be on leash at all Tahoe Donner amenities and common areas, including parking lots and streets, as well as on the Nature Loop, East Perimeter Trail, Alder Creek Trail and Hillside Trail. Dogs under voice control are permitted off leash on Tahoe Donner trails, except for those specified above. Do not let dogs approach others and keep them out of sensitive areas. Please pick up after your pet.

Tahoe Donner Poker Ride

CELEBRATES A DECADE OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT TAHOE DONNER GIVING FUND

MEET VICTORIA, 2025 GRADUATE IMPACT SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT

“It opened a whole new set of doors for me,” Victoria said of being awarded the IMPACT Scholarship from the Tahoe Donner Giving Fund in 2021. “It opened a big new door to the world of private school for me, and it opened up a doorway for my community, showing all of us that we can go for bigger things.” This May, she graduated from Dominican University with a degree in education and will continue into her fifth year to earn her master’s degree.

When she began the college application process, Victoria expected to attend a community college first and help her parents pay for it by working. She never considered the possibility of going to a private school until she learned about the IMPACT Scholarship. With her mom’s encouragement, she gave that application her best shot and succeeded beyond her expectations.

Now, Victoria is on track to achieve her dream of teaching special education, or SPED. Victoria will have the education and ability to differentiate instruction for her students, who will have a variety of special needs, and provide them with strategies for learning, motivation and participation.

“Without the support of the Tahoe Donner Giving Fund’s IMPACT Scholarship, I would not have had the option to attend Dominican and earn these degrees. I am really happy, and so grateful for this opportunity.”

Dominican’s study abroad program in Spain was memorable for Victoria, where, in addition to her SPED curriculum, her worldview expanded. “I made so many friends, experiencing the different food, culture and music. My younger sister was the brave one who was the first in our family to study abroad, and her experience inspired me to look into a similar program through Dominican.”

As a first-generation Latina, Victoria is grateful to be able to inspire others and open doors to new experiences, excellent education and big dreams for herself and her community.

“I love that I get to show the Hispanic community back home that we are capable of so much more — there’s no telling how far we can go.”

CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF GIVING

Celebrating our 10th Anniversary is a special occasion for the volunteers of the Tahoe Donner Giving Fund Committee. It’s an opportunity to tell the stories of the local students who have been awarded scholarships, and the local nonprofits who have been awarded grants. It’s a time to say “well done” to the philanthropic foresight of the Giving Fund’s founders and the continuing financial support of Tahoe Donner members. And it’s well worth expressing “thank you, thank you, thank you” to the Tahoe Donner members who have provided the financial gifts that made the past ten years of philanthropy possible.

Our committee’s mission is to inspire generosity and charitable giving among Tahoe Donner members in order to support deserving programs and youth in the greater Truckee community. During our first decade, the Giving Fund awarded $1,490,000 in local scholarships and $400,000 in local nonprofit grants, for a total of $1,890,000 in community support.

In some ways, that’s a lot, but in other ways, it’s not. So many needs remain in our local area, so maintaining and accelerating our fundraising momentum is mission-critical.

Will you help us raise funds for more support this year? Your gift, in any amount, will do so much good. This year, our tenth, there are options to give a one-time gift or sign up for a monthly gift to join the Giving Circle. Give $10 or add another zero or two in front of the decimal point – every gift is welcome and appreciated!

Give today through the QR code above right – thank you!

The Tahoe Donner Giving Fund is administered as an affiliate fund of the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, EIN 68-0416404. All contributions are voluntary, irrevocable, and are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Tahoe Donner Giving Fund grants and scholarships are made through the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation’s annual review process. The Tahoe Donner Giving Fund Committee is chartered by the Tahoe Donner Board of Directors to carry out the mission of the Tahoe Donner Giving Fund: to inspire generosity and charitable giving among Tahoe Donner members in order to support deserving programs and youth in the greater Truckee community. The Tahoe Donner Giving Fund Committee thanks our founding partner, Elements Mountain Company, who has supported the Tahoe Donner Giving Fund since its inception in 2014, and the anonymous Tahoe Donner member who has generously funded the IMPACT Scholarships each year since 2019.
