  • Message from the BoardTonopalo is an amazing place. Obviously, the prime attraction is the surroundings - truly one of the most beautiful geographical areas in the world. Our staff and management team play a huge role in our appreciation of Tonopalo and all that it has to offer. But certainly our ownership has equally an important role. Rarely will you come to Tonopalo without meeting someone new. It is this latter amenity - our owners and potential new friendships - that is sometimes the most difficult to cultivate. Our interactions with staff are unavoidable. Our interactions with other owners is often underestimated - we do not know who they are, we do not know much about them, not to mention there is also the obstacle of timing our visits, which inteferes with getting to know each other. We also have the obtstacle of how to communicate with each other.

    It is our hope that this Directory will make all of this easier. Whether you wish to e-mail another owner of your home, want to read about the experiences of others, or learn more about fellow owners who might live in your area - the Directory can help with all of that!

    Enjoy it and please let us know how it can be improved.

    -The Tonopalo Board of Directors

    Name: Bentley ThomasPosition Held: General ManagerOffice Phone: (530) 546-6503E-Mail: [email protected] Since: November 2003

    My name is Bentley Thomas and I am the General Manager at Tonopalo Private Residence Club. I am originally from Fort Lauderdale, FL and have been an avid outdoorsman all of my life. After graduating from Appalachian State University, in the mountains of North Carolina, I decided to move to the North Lake Tahoe area to pursue the mountain lifestyle full-time. I have been a part of the Tonopalo team since the first summer of operation in 2004 and have enjoyed building relationships with both the owners and staff ever since. My favorite part of the job is sharing my knowledge and appreciation of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding area with owners and their guests. I encourage everyone who visits Lake Tahoe to get out and create stories of their own to share with their family and friends.

    Name: Katie GoldammerPosition Held: Operations ManagerOffice Phone: (530) 546-6502E-Mail: [email protected] Since: December 2010

    I live on Donner Lake in Truckee with my boyfriend Jay and bloodhound Scout. I was born in the Tahoe area, but I grew up mostly on the North Coast of California. My family visited Tahoe at least a few times per year after moving away, and this area has always felt like home. I attended college at UC Berkeley, and spent as many weekends as I could up here with the Cal Ski and Snowboard Club, and then spent my summers working as a whitewater raft guide in the Truckee/Foothills region. After college I moved back for one last summer of raft guiding that was eight years ago, and I havent left. I love this area and all it has to offer in terms of outdoor activities, and of course scenery! While not at Tonopalo I spend my time downhill skiing at Squaw or Alpine, Nordic skiing at the Tahoe Donner Cross-Country Center, whitewater kayaking, trail running, and rock climbing. Im always happy to give suggestions for things to do and places in Tahoe to check out, so feel free to find me on property if you ever have any questions!

    HOME PHONE: (415) 464-1483

    ABOUT USTahoe has been a lifetime experience for us! Bill was raised in Homewood, knew the mountains with only rope tows, and had leather thongs on his skis. He worked with his parents at their lodge The Hut before going to the big city to attend Cal, and then worked as a stock broker in San Francisco. He continued his passion for the lake with his 18 year membership on the board of the League to Save Lake Tahoe. In 1980, he and Lynn merged their Brady Bunch family. All 6 children grew up enjoying Tahoe, skiing in the winters and vacationing in the summers...and still do to this day. Living in Greenbrae (Marin County), we enjoy an active retirement. Lynn follows her love of music by performing in choral groups and participating in an arts education non-profit. Bill thrives on his numerous domino and bridge games, and follows all Cal-Berkeley events. We love to travel and, of course, to spend time with our 9 grandchildren and their parents, all who live in California and Nevada. We all love Tonopalo! Since 2004, the beautiful beach, the spectacular lake view, the game room, the hot tub, and the warmth of our homes, have continued our memorable Tahoe lifetime experience.

    ABOUT USChuck & Tammy have been married 30 years and are the proud parents of 4 boys. All four boys are quite athletic, just like mom, and you will likely find them on the beach throwing a football, lacrosse balls, frisbees and taking advantage of what Lake Tahoe has to offer from wake boarding to snowboarding. Tammy has been a stay-at-home mom for the last 20 years, doing a great job in raising our boys and heavily involved in various school / PTA roles. Chuck retired in May 2013 following a 37 year career in corporate finance roles, the last 25 being at Apple, and is enjoying his time volunteering for the Americas Cup races last summer, spending time with the family and enjoying his passions of fly fishing, photography, golf and skiing. We joined the Tonopalo community 2 years ago when we realized our opportunities for the big semi-annual family vacations were dwindling as the boys get older. A place at Tahoe provides an opportunity for us to all still get together. Tonopalo is the perfect choice for us in so many ways. We particularly enjoy the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff, the amenities, beach and view of the lake. We also enjoy meeting all of our fellow owners of this wonderful community. Hope to see you at a Saturday evening event!

    ABOUT USSummer vacations at Tahoe were part of both of our lives growing up Gordon at Zephyr Cove and Lauri at (the old) Sandy Beach. Tonopalo has not only brought back many happy memories of our childhood summers at Tahoe, it has also enabled us to provide similar experiences for our children and grandchildren. We purchased our first chapter in 2003, and were one of the first occupants of Home 11 in 2004. Since then we have only missed one week of usage (more than offset by Space Available usage), to that point that in 2010 we purchased a second chapter.

    When were not at Tonopalo, Gordon serves on the Board of Directors for Pomona College and the Webb School. He also emjoys working out at the gym, hiking, and accompanying Dolce on long walks. Lauri volunteers part-time with Habitat for Humanity in Silicon Valley; other interests include food and cooking, reading, and gardening. We are fortunate that our granddaughters live close by and can visit often.

    Keith and Toni both work in finance for start-up firms in Silicon Valley, which keeps their lives interesting. After training and working as a Chef, Leith now works for a small PR/Marketing firm in San Francisco that focuses on the Hospitality arena. Lindsey and Nora enjoy school and pre-school but greatly prefer coming to Tonopalo, as does Dolce.
