The Virgin Valley Artists Association continues their 2017 Brown Bag Series on March 7 with a lecture on the Amazon Rainforest and Galapagos Islands by nature photographer David Boyarski. David packs the house with his images, videos and stories, so arrive early!

On Saturday, March 4 from 11 a.m.- 3 p.m. the Golden West Casino in Mesquite is sponsoring the Fourth Annual Donkey Jamboree benefiting Peaceful Valley Donkey Rescue (PVDR).

This event will feature live donkeys from the donkey rescue satellite adoption center in Scenic, AZ. There will be live music by the local band Bottoms UP.

Mark Myers, founder of the PVDR will be on hand to answer your questions about the organization as will volunteers from the Scenic satellite along with volunteers from other satellites in the United States. Hotdogs, beer and wine will be available for purchase at $2 each.

All proceeds for this event go directly to the PVDR.

They will be showing continual video presentations of “Forgotten-the Plight of the American Donkey.” There will also be information on the upcoming Arizona Burro Project.

Mark and PVDR have been featured both nationally and internationally in television, documentaries, radio and nearly every major market newspaper in the United States. He has authored multiple books. His public speaking engagements include business organizations, service clubs and classrooms ranging from the kindergarten to university level. Mark brings his lively desert adventures, heart-warming rescue stories and living philosophy of compassion everywhere he goes.

Learn more about the rescue at www.donkeyrescue.org.

Questions about the event please call 928- 347-4506.

Remember to send all your events and activities to terin.bbm@gmail.com if you want folks to know what’s going on with your group or organization. Please put “Community Calendar” in the subject line so it doesn’t get lost in cyber space.
