Every year during the first week of November, Corporate Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc. encourages their Ameriprise office team members across the country to participate in an activity to support their ‘National Day of Service’ giving campaign. For the last five years, the Tahoe South Shore’s Ameriprise office has elected to sponsor a Bread & Broth Adopt A Day of Nourishment (AAD) and this year they hosted the Monday Meal on November 4 to participate in the annual Corporate campaign.

For Larry and Kerstin Sidney, wanting to help others was their motivation for sponsoring their first Bread & Broth Adopt A Day of Nourishment (AAD) on October 28 at St. Theresa Grace Hall. With their $300 AAD donation, the Sidney family enabled B&B to feed 100 dinner guests a filling, nutritious and tasty dinner in a warm, safe and friendly environment. Bread and Broth's (B&B) Monday Meal communal dinner is open to everyone in the Tahoe community to be enjoyed as a way to ease hunger, save money for other necessities besides food, and enrich their social interactions with others.

Californians, including the people of Lake Tahoe, love our public lands. We love the cold deep blue waters of Lake Tahoe, the rugged mountains, and the varied forests that are part of the nearly 100 million acres of land all Californians can claim ownership of. We love these public lands not just because of their natural beauty, but because they are central to our way of life. Many of us live here, or moved here, because of what they provide - culture, lifestyle, and livelihood.
