Tonight , November 6th, is a benefit at the South Lake Tahoe Chevys restraunt supporting Bijou Community School 1st Graders. Chevys is donating 25% of the check to the Bijou 1st grade program. The money will be used for field trips, supplies, and other 1st grade activities. Recently Chevys had a kinder night that did net $600 for the program. It would be a great time to take the family and friends out to dinner and support a great cause.
