Do you want to know what’s going on in the city of Mesquite but can’t make all the City Council meetings? This is your chance to meet with the City Manager, Andy Barton, as he addresses issues. It’s your opportunity to get answers to your questions and hear the concerns and comments of your friends and neighbors.
The Community Forum is scheduled to be held today at the Mesquite Recreation Center from noon to 1 p.m.
Musicians, fans or spectators who appreciate good times and great music can join in the Music Jam at Guns & Guitars tonight at 6 p.m. It’s always a fun time hanging out with Jan, Mike and the gang at Guns & Guitars.
Virgin Valley Artists Association newcomer Jean Battaglia will teach an ongoing class in 3-D Paper Tole at the Mesquite Fine Arts Center classroom, starting this morning at 9 a.m.
According to the VVAA, “3-D paper tole is the art of creating dimensional pictures by layering many cut out sections of the same image on top of each other. It is rumored to have started in Venice in the 17th century, but in the 18th century it became a “lost art,” and it wasn’t until the 1970’s that it re-emerged. The art is now more refined with greater dimensional effects.”
There is a sign-up sheet for this class available at the front desk of the Mesquite Fine Arts Gallery. There is a fee for each class of $10, including materials.
Check out the Mesquite Fine Arts Gallery, 15 W. Mesquite Blvd. for the many classes they offer in all mediums.
The Mesquite Library has a variety of classes for all the computer novices. Classes are offered in basic computer skills, Microsoft office programs and email. These, along with other classes, are offered as a free public service to residents.
Don’t forget to check out the two new fitness classes offered by the Mesquite Recreation Center.
We print as much of the calendar in the paper as space allows but you can always check the complete calendar with a full list of weekly recurring activities which will help keep you fit, informed and entertained at www.mesquitelocalnews.com.
Remember to send all your meeting, events or entertainment information to tphilswife@aol.com; please put “Community Calendar” in the subject line or your submission may get overlooked. I’ll be happy to help you spread the word.
