🍻 After-walk gathering at Jason’s Beachside Grille
You don’t need a degree or a title to see what’s working—and what’s not—in our community. You just need to walk it.
At this month’s meetup, we’ll go on a guided walk through Kings Beach to take a close, honest look at how our streets, public spaces, and neighborhoods really feel on the ground. What’s safe? What’s not? What’s missing? What could be better?
This isn’t just a walk. It’s a way to connect what we see with what we do next.
Whether you came to the incorporation meetup or not, this is your chance to:

Get a better feel for the everyday issues in our town
Talk with others who care and want to take action
Help shape the next steps for our community—together

We’ll finish up at Jason’s to share what we noticed, what surprised us, and what we might want to act on next.
🚶‍♀️ During the walk: Keep your eyes open. If you see a pothole, blocked sidewalk, missing sign, or anything that seems off, take a photo and drop a pin on our new 📍 North Tahoe Fix-It Map. It’s quick and easy—and it helps our community see what needs fixing.
🗺️ After the walk: You can still share anything we missed! Use the map to report problems anytime.
No speeches. No pressure. Just a walk, a conversation, and some good momentum.

June Meetup – How To Make Your Voice Matter (2 Days Before 39N Update)
2025-06-03 18:00 - 19:30 | Tree House Cafe, 8160 N Lake Blvd, Kings Beach, CA, 96143, United States
UPDATE: There is now a “project update meeting” about 39° North scheduled just two days after this meetup — on Thursday, June 5 from 6-9 PM at the Event Center in Kings Beach.
If you want to have a voice in shaping Kings Beach’s future, now is the time to get ready. This meetup is your chance to get informed, practice speaking up, and connect with others who want to show up with purpose — not just sit through another presentation. We’ll use the 39N meeting as a real-life example of how to prepare for public meetings that matter.
📩 Can’t make it or want to stay involved after the June 5 39°N meeting?–> Join the 39 North Action Group
–> Read the recap of the 39°N meeting Strong North Tahoe representatives had with Kingsbarn and Placer County on May 28th

Love North Tahoe? Ready to stand up for it?
Last month, neighbors walked Kings Beach together. We saw the good and the not-so-good — and used the Problem Reporting Tool to mark issues we want to fix.
This month, we’ll focus on something just as important:What can you do — with just 30 minutes — that actually makes a difference?
🗓️ Tuesday, June 3 | 🕕 6:00 – 7:30 PM | 📍 Tree House Cafe, Kings Beach |🍻 Join after at Whitecaps
🧰 What We’ll Do
We’ll go over a handful of leveraged actions — things that take limited time, but create real pressure or progress:
– How to kick off or join a letter-writing campaign using tools that already exist
– How to use a “speaker train” to show up at public meetings with support and purpose
– How to figure out who’s responsible for a problem, and how to make sure they hear about it
– What to do now, even if you’re new to this
– We’ll use the 39 North project as a live example to practice what we learn.
If you’ve ever thought, “I want to help, but I don’t know what would matter,” this meetup is for you.
🤝 Who Should Come?
Neighbors who notice what’s happening — and want to help shape what’s next.
No background needed. No big commitment.Just bring yourself and a little time.

39 North Project Update Meeting
2025-06-05 18:00 - 21:00 | North Tahoe Event Center, 8318 N Lake Blvd, Kings Beach, CA, 96143, United States
🗓️ Thursday, June 5, 2025
🕕 6:00 – 9:00 PM
📍 North Tahoe Event Center, 8318 North Lake Blvd, Kings Beach
The developer of the 39 North project will hold a public “Project Update Meeting” on June 5.
According to the announcement on their website, this meeting is to “hear updates on our project design.”
What’s missing? Any mention of community input.
This is why it matters that our community shows up.
At recent meetings, neighbors raised big concerns — not just about the project itself, but about how this process is unfolding:

Will the public have any meaningful say?
Why was there over a year of silence before this meeting was announced?
Is this a real conversation, or just a presentation?

If you care about Kings Beach’s future — whether it’s housing, traffic, height, safety, or simply being heard — this is the moment to show up with purpose.

✅ What You Can Do:

Learn the history of the 39N project – what started as a community vision now faces criticism over luxury plans, subsidies, and transparency.
Read our recap of the May 28th meeting we had with Kingsbarn and Placer County about 39N

Let’s show what real community looks like — informed, organized, and ready to speak up.

North Tahoe Supervisor Forum - Community Conversation

Thursday, October 9, 2025
6:00 PM
Tahoe City PUD Office, 221 Fairway Drive, Tahoe City
Come take part in a community forum where you help set the agenda. Supervisor Cindy Gustafson and the North Tahoe Regional Advisory Council are hosting a Lean Coffee-style conversation with North Tahoe residents.
What’s Lean Coffee?
It’s an agenda-less meeting format where topics come from the people in the room. You bring ideas, vote on what matters most, and then join small, time-boxed discussions. It’s a simple and effective way to make sure:

Everyone has a voice
The conversations stay focused
The issues are relevant and actionable

This approach is rooted in the kind of bottom-up, people-first thinking that aligns with Strong Towns principles. It’s about starting with what matters to the community — and moving forward from there.
Whether you want to listen or speak, this is a space to share concerns, ideas, and questions about what’s happening in North Tahoe.
No RSVP required — just show up and join the conversation.
