The Clean Tahoe Program would like to extend our sincere thanks to Ricky Reich for a $53,000 donation that allowed the program to purchase a new truck for our field crew. The donation came as a result of an emergency situation, as one of our much-used trucks was involved in an accident and deemed a total loss.
