CHERYLL CROSS TAHOE DONNER BOARD CANDIDATE

I have been a Truckee resident since 1990.  I purchased my home in Tahoe Donner in 2000,  and lived here from 2000-2002,  then moved down to the bay area to focus on my business.  While I was in the Bay area, I rented long term to Truckee locals from 2002-2015.  In 2015 I retired and moved to Tahoe Donner full time.   In the last several years I have volunteered as a docent for the Truckee Donner land trust,  and started to attend board meetings and committee meetings to determine where I could best contribute to the community.

 I have been involved with TDMV since August of last year,  because I believed that there were issues with the size and spend for the new lodge.  I do believe that we need a new ADA compliant lodge,  but also believe that there are other priorities that need to be addressed before committing to the size and spend that is currently proposed.
