Congressman Cresent Hardy (NV-4) will host his second annual Veterans Care Fair to highlight resources and services available to veterans and their families. In conjunction with the Veterans Care Fair, the Southern Nevada VA Hospital will host a town hall where Congressman Hardy will serve as a panelist to help address the needs of our nation’s veterans.

Veterans Care Fair and VA Town Hall will be held Saturday, April 23. The Veterans Care Fair will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with the VA Town Hall from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Both events will take place at the Southern Nevada VA Hospital, 6900 N. Pecos Road, North Las Vegas, NV.

Individuals interested in attending this event may contact Congressman Hardy’s district office at (702) 912-1634 or email Charles.Navarro@mail.house.gov for more information.

We Care for Animals is holding a pet adoption this Saturday from 9:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m. Check out the adorable and wonderful animals available through WCFA.

There are great reasons to adopt a pet rather than breeding or buying. You’ll be saving a life and giving a wonderful animal a second chance. Animals adopted through WCFA have already been vet checked and have a clean bill of health or medication for their affliction. All shots are up to date and pets have been spayed/neutered or will be when they are of age.

Not only do animals give you unconditional love, but they have been shown to be psychologically, emotionally and physically beneficial, and when you adopt, you can also feel proud about helping an animal in need.

What is printed in the paper is just a small amount of activities that are happening this week. For a full calendar of weekly events visit www.mesquitelocalnews.com and check out the Community Calendar.

Let’s get all your events in print and online so everybody knows what’s happening in Mesquite. Just send an email with the who, what, where and when to terin.bbm@gmail.com. I am happy to help you spread the word.
