At the Rotary Club of Incline-Tahoe's Thursday morning meeting July 16, Geno Menchetti was presented with a $1,000 donation to be added to the Geno Fund.

The donation was made by Mike and Lisa Menath of the Mike Menath Insurance Company. Menchetti said the presentation was a total surprise.

Geno Menchetti started the Geno Fund as president of the Rotary Club of Incline Village in 1983. It started with approximately $3,500 and was used as an anonymous fund to help local residents in immediate need of funds.

Then in 1990 when the Rotary Club of Tahoe-Incline started, the fund was split in half so that both Rotary Clubs in Incline could have a Geno Fund.

“We have given out $125,000 since it started,” Menchetti said in an interview with the Bonanza in January.

The $1,000 donation last week was an award the Mike Menath Insurance Company received at the Nevada Independent Agents Conference at Edgelake Club in June. FirstComp Insurance presented this award to the Menath Agency.

“It was awarded to us by FirstComp for the work our agency has done for clients in Nevada,” Menath said. “We donated this to Geno's Fund because it is a one time anonymous gift to people in our community.”
