“The Taste of Reno Tahoe has had great success ‘pairing good wine & food with great works,TM’ said Chip Lindloff, RCS Rotary Foundation chair. “Since its first wine pairing event, the Rotary Club Reno Centennial Sunset has donated nearly 3,000 hours of volunteer time and $85,000 to worthy causes.

“All proceeds fund local and international service projects in cooperation with the RCS Rotary Foundation, Inc. Every year, generous local donations big and small go right back in to our communities to worthy causes related to youth, from basic needs to leadership development.
