Celebrating our 20th Anniversary, Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation is looking back at all of the milestones and people who have made North Tahoe – Truckee what it is today. One of the most incredible stories is the revitalization of one of our smallest communities: Kings Beach. This lakeside community has had superheros on its side who are dedicated to cultivating a deep sense of community, providing positive youth opportunities, and developing intentional infrastructure and growth.
Three of these community changemakers are Theresa May Duggan, Dave Ferrari, and Ken Yagura; after being on the battlefields of permitting and policy, as well as running the gamut of fundraising techniques side-by-side, they have formed quite a dynamic. Stacy Caldwell, TTCF’s CEO, asked them to sit down for an interview to tell the story of Kings Beach in February. Whether you were through it all or just want to know more about our unique region, we’re sure you’ll learn some new things about this dynamic and diverse community. The interview is slightly over an hour, and we recommend you sit down ready to laugh.
