Thank yous from the organizations:

"The ISAEF Board of Directors cannot thank the RWTB Board and the community for the $13,000 donation enough. One half or $6,500 will be deposited in our Education Endowment and the other $6,500 will be equally distributed to the three public schools. You have and will make a difference in our children’s education." -Bill Horn, Chairman

"It was a pleasure to work with the RWTB committee this year. The events were well organized and the fire works were fantastic. The $13,000 we received from the committee will go a long way in helping us achieve our goal of serving the community. Specifically these funds will be earmarked for helping our youth in the community. We actively support the local schools and students including:

- College scholarships
- Rotary Leadership Academy
- Rotary Youth Exchange (foreign exchange students)
- School supplies project for students who cannot afford supplies
- Numerous youth related projects on an as needed basis

We look forward to working with the committee in 2010."
- Dennis Jones, President 2009/2010, Rotary Club of Tahoe-Incline
