Celebrating our 20th Anniversary, Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation (TTCF) is looking back at all of the milestones and people who have made North Tahoe – Truckee what it is today. One of our personal favorites is how TTCF came to be! Little did we know that when we sat down with three of the people who were there at the very beginning (before anyone even knew what a community foundation was) that they would reveal stories in that interview that had never been told! We weren’t the only ones who learned new things that day as memories popped up that had never been shared even between Linda Brown, Roger Kahn, and Jim Porter.
Linda, Roger, and Jim are three of TTCF’s Founding Board Members. Over twenty years later, they’re still committed to our mission and always deeply involved in our region. Sit down as Stacy Caldwell, TTCF CEO, asks all the right questions to find out what it really took to get our feet under us. You’ll laugh, you may cry (we did both).
