Every year about this time, Truckee’s Noon Rotary puts on its’ fund raiser, The Cadillac Ball.  The First Ball, more than 20 years ago featured as the Grand prize a refurbished Cadillac.  Cadillacs being expensive and hard to locate, $10,000 has been the prize most years.  Even a new Toyota snuck in one year.  This year, however, a brand new 2010 Cadillac SRX will go to the lucky winner.

          The Cadillac Ball generally collects $70,000 to $75,000 which goes back into the Truckee community for different charities such as Project Mana, The Senior Center, Meals on Wheels, various school projects such as the Truckee high school band,  sports teams, and the Legacy Trail ( the trail along the Truckee River) and other needy projects during the course of the year.

           The theme this year will be “007”.  Attendees will arrive in their favorite 007 outfits.  The meeting of characters will gather at the new Ritz-Carlton at Northstar next Saturday the 13th.  The evening will include drinks, dinner, awarding the Cadillac and dancing.   Many of the revelers will be staying the night at the Ritz so there’s no telling how long the party will last or, how people will feel the next morning.
