The Desert Dames would like to personally invite you to their Annual Desert Dames Fashion Show. The event will be held in the CasaBlanca Ballrooms beginning at noon on Nov. 18.

This is their one luncheon that is open to the public and allows them to promote businesses within Mesquite. Clothing will be provided by local retailers. This year’s theme is “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.”

A lunch will be served with the cost at $22 per person. Donations from local businesses will be raffled off and they will also have a raffle for cash prizes. Contact Dianna Kizerian (702) 345-3477.

The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood to help ensure a sufficient blood supply throughout the winter holiday season.

Because people are busy with holiday travel and festivities, blood donations often drop this time of year. You can help by remembering that patients don’t get a holiday from needing blood.

In conjunction with the Charles Arthur Hughes and Orilla Luella Leavitt Hughes Family Reunion, the Virgin Valley Heritage Museum invites descendants of Charles and Orilla to come into the Museum between Nov. 20 and 30, and help build a family tree by adding their name or a photo to the tree.

For more information about this display and the Museum, call 702- 346-5705, find them on Facebook at MesquiteNVMuseum or stop by the Museum at 35 W. Mesquite Blvd.

The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and admission is free.

The Southern Nevada Symphony Orchestra opens its season Saturday at the CasaBlanca Resort. Tickets are $25. Contact the CasaBlanca Box office for more information.

The Mesquite Arts Council’s Annual Festival of Trees begins this week. The Festival runs from Nov. 18 through 21 at the CasaBlanca Event Tent, 950 W. Mesquite Blvd.

Cost of admission is $4 but there is a $1 off coupon available through local retailers and in the MLN. Bring in two cans of unexpired food and receive an additional $1 off.

For more information on how you can enter a tree contact Aleta Ruth 702-461-1403, there is still room available for vendor booths also.
