Downtown Coin Club

For the second consecutive year, Pets of the Homeless has been the beneficiary of a local, grass-roots fundraising event sponsored by Chef Jose "Don Pepe" Noriega-Paz and hosted by the Downtown Coin Club on Telegraph Street in Carson City.

More than a dozen needy individuals or families will enjoy a Christmas feast courtesy the Downtown Coin Club of Carson City.

Members of the Downtown Coin Club of Carson City delivered ten frozen turkeys to the Douglas County Senior Center in Gardnerville Friday, partnering with the local Meals On Wheels program to supply needy seniors with a turkey dinner this Thanksgiving.

A few area residents will enjoy a turkey dinner over Thanksgiving and Christmas courtesy of donations by Downtown Coin Club, 111 W. Telegraph Street in downtown Carson City.

Time for another wine walk, Carson City, thanks to the Downtown Business Association. Every first Saturday over 30 shops, restaurants, businesses, and organizations stock up on wine and goodies and throw open their doors to the crowds of merry-makers. It's always a great reason to explore downtown. The festivities begin at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 3 and you have until 5 p.m. to hit as many stops as possible before the raffle begins.

There are multiple ways to say farewell to summer this weekend. The Best in the West Rib Cook-off is a local favorite, as is the Fallon Cantaloupe Festival. It has finally cooled down a little, so the Downtown Carson Wine Walk is a perfect way to spend an afternoon. Keep reading and have a great time.

SATURDAY:

The Downtown Coin Club is making room for some new books in its library, so we are giving away many great books, as well as empty coin albums. Join us on wine walk day at 111 W. Telegraph St. at Curry.

On the surface, olive oil and balsamic vinegar have little to do with homelessness. But here in Carson City, they have become a big deal.

Last month, noted area Chef Don Pepe, owner of Carpa Nevada LLC, sold more than $1,000 worth of his fine imported Portuguese olive oil and balsamic vinegars through Downtown Coin in Carson City.

The entire proceeds, totaling $400 in profit, were then donated to “Pets of the Homeless,” a Carson City-based non-profit organization that helps provide food and veterinary care for homeless companions nationwide.

Once upon a time in India, a 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar graced the neck of a United States Army Airman, who wore the currency as a memento during his service overseas.

From the moment Dan Wilson and Chuck Price saw the silver dollar, they knew right away that they were looking at a piece of history.

A fundraiser by The Downtown Coin Club for the family of fallen Carson City Sheriff’s Deputy Carl Howell raised $540. The donation, along with a custom-made plaque, was presented to the Carson City Sheriff’s Office Friday.

The money was raised through the generosity of Downtown Coin customers, and matched by the Downtown Carson City Coin Club, said Downtown Coin owner Dan Wilson.
