Reid hosting August fundraiser at Tahoe

Few things are as cooling as Lake Tahoe in August, as Democrats and their friends will find out at a $10,000 per head fundraiser that Sen. Harry Reid is organizing at the lake this summer.

Reid is sharing the proceeds with Democratic Sens. Bill Nelson of Florida and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island. Both are up for re-election in 2012.

The invitation obtained by the Sunlight Foundation sets Aug. 12-14 for the "Lake Tahoe Retreat" at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort in Incline Village.

The event is scheduled a few days before Reid is scheduled to attend the annual Lake Tahoe Summit, which is set for Aug. 16 to promote awareness of the lake's ecosystem.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is hosting this year's summit, which will be at the Homewood Mountain Ski Resort on the California side of the lake.
