Are you out of work? Are you making the kind of money you need to survive today? If you can answer yes to the first question and no to the second, then Workforce Connections (WC) is exactly where you need to be.

With offices located at the Salvation Army, 355 W. Mesquite Blvd. and at the Mesquite Library, 121 W. First North St. there’s no excuse not to go and take advantage of the plethora of job training skills you can acquire through WC. Skills that will allow you to demand the salaries that will support you and your family. From truck driving to Nursing, you can get the education required and WC has the money to pay for it if you are a qualifying individual. There’s no harm in checking it out.

WC holds an orientation class at the Mesquite Library every Thursday from 1-2 p.m. where you can gather information and see if you qualify; individual appointments will be made from there or by calling the number listed in the calendar.

 

The fifth annual Alaskans in Mesquite Potluck will be held on Monday, March 27, 2017 from 1- 4p.m. at the Mesquite Vistas Sports Club, 851 Pinnacle Court.

Bring your favorite dish, alcohol is available for purchase at Club. Plates, napkins and silverware will be provided. For more information call Pam Gates 907-229-3289.

 

The Virgin River Community will have their monthly meeting on Thursday March 23, at the Beaver Dam Fire Station, 700 Old Highway 91. The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m.

This will be the first ice cream social, with a general discussion on “How to live with your Sceptic Tank.”

 

Don’t forget to send all your summer activities and events to terin.bbm@gmail.com. If you want folks to come, let me help you spread the word.
