Highlights From IVCBA’s Northern Lights Community Celebration

Originally published in Mike’s Monday Member Report – 12/08/2025

This year’s celebration was a huge success! Moving the event into the Prim Library proved to be a fantastic choice, drawing a wonderful crowd and creating an inviting atmosphere. Attendees enjoyed a surprise flash mob, and Santa made a memorable entrance aboard a North Lake Tahoe Fire engine—thank you to the fire district for stepping in when his sleigh broke down!

We were thrilled to welcome nearly 40 organizations and an incredible number of Giving Trees. Thank you to everyone who participated, and congratulations to this year’s Giving Tree winners. We’re already looking forward to next year!
