There are still tickets available for the Mesquite Madness Charity Dinner & Auction, to be held this Saturday, September 26, at the CasaBlanca Resort. For $35 per person, or $325 for a table of 10, you can enjoy an exciting evening with good food and a great auction.
MESQUITE MADNESS is the Exchange Club’s major fundraiser, and every penny of the over $150,000 raised in previous MESQUITE MADNESS auctions has stayed right here in the Virgin Valley for the benefit of their many community services. It has been one of Mesquite’s most popular and entertaining events over the years, and this year promises to be no exception.
Nationally-recognized Tennessee Auctioneer, Randy England, will be auctioning off many valuable items; who knows what treasures you will find? You might take home artwork, a television, dinners, golf and/or spa packages, theater tickets, jewelry, hotel accommodations, tours, cruises, or even gift certificates for medical or dental care. And while you are bidding, remember that 100% of the proceeds stay right here in Mesquite and the Virgin Valley.
Please know that your presence will go far to help the Exchange Club of Mesquite continue to support so many community services, such as the prevention of child abuse.
To get your tickets for Mesquite Madness, please call 702-346-6633.
The Mesquite Toes will be competing in the Nevada Senior Games at the Clark County Library, 1401 E Flamingo, Las Vegas.
This event is open to the public, so for an enjoyable day of dance go along with them and be part of the audience that helps cheer on the Toes.
They are competing in the tap, ballroom, clogging, duet and solo competitions and have entered 11 numbers. They are “Going for the Gold”!
If you would like to join the Toes and travel with them in their carpools, contact Vicki Eckman at 702-346-1206.
On Wednesday, Sept 30th, from 10am to 2 pm the Toes will be hosting a public Open House at their studio, 150 N Yucca St, # 35.
The Open House is being held to encourage prospective dancers to learn what the Toes do. They are looking for new dancers (adult men and women) to join their troupe. No experience is necessary; they train their dancers from square one!
They will be offering “free” mini-classes in Jazz, Tap, Clogging and Musical Theater, continually throughout the day.
Whatever activity they you are looking for, you can always find what’s happening right here in the community calendar every Thursday in print or everyday online at www.mesquitelocalnews.com/category/calendar.
Send all your activities to tphilswife@aol.com and please remember to put “community calendar” in the subject line so your event notice doesn’t get lost in cyber space.
