The Virgin Valley Artists would like to invite the public to the Artists and Poets reception today at 4 p.m. at the Mesquite Fine Arts Gallery, 15 W.

Winners of the competition will be announced and prizes awarded for first, second and third place as well as People’s and Sponsor’s Choice.
Ever wondered what your neighborhood looks like from the sky? Or maybe you’re curious how airplanes even work.
You might even dream about being a pilot.
If you’re shaking your head yes and are between the ages of 8 and 17, there are some EAA member volunteer pilots who would love to take you on a free Young Eagles flight.
That’s right – a free flight!
This is your big chance and it will happen on April 22nd, 2017 at the Mesquite Airport from 8-11a.m. Flights, provided on a first come-first served basis are limited, so get there early with a parent or guardian, and don’t forget your camera.
The Salvation Army will be holding a special seminar at their office, 355 W. Mesquite Blvd. Suite B-50 on April 26 from 3 – 5 p.m. to inform people about their rights as a tenant. Seating is limited and reservations are required by calling 702-345- 5116.
Send all your activities to terin.bbm@gmail.com and please remember to put ‘community calendar’ in the subject line so your event notice doesn’t get lost in cyber space.
