The last day of September, already? You know that means all things pumpkin begins tomorrow. Take time today to enjoy the jazz jam at Sassafras, or live music at Living the Good Life. A great crowd shows up weekly for Geeks who Drink Trivia at Lake Tahoe Brewing Company. City management would love to get your input on what they are calling the ‘Greening of William Street.’ So, if you have any ideas about how you would incorporate trees into the Hwy 50 corridor, please head to the Community Center at noon. Pool playing ladies can enjoy special treatment at the Ormsby Club tonight, so rack ‘em up.
