On Monday, October 10, 2016, a group of concerned Nevada citizens will protest the special session called by Nevada’s Republican Governor, Brian Sandoval, to approve raising $750 million in room tax revenue to subsidize a stadium for the NFL's Raider's.

According to the article “Governor Call Special Session for Monday,” published in the Reno Gazette Journal, dated October 5, 2016, the proposed amount of $750,000,000 is the largest amount ever put forth for consideration by taxpayers in the history of the publicly funded stadiums.

Part of the fun each year at Concert Under the Stars, A benefit for The Greenhouse Project, is the live auction. The generosity of the community by and through the donations of ever-changing and diverse packages, means there is something for everyone. And of course, the community’s willingness to bid and support the ongoing work of The Greenhouse Project, completes the circle.

The late Reno resident Betty Heaston has donated more than $1.7 million to the Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center to benefit programs, staff and operations. Heaston also made an additional bequest of more than $57,000 to create an endowment for student scholarships.

“Betty particularly loved her life in Reno and championed all the city had to offer,” said Forrest Bolles, Heaston’s nephew. “But she had a particular feeling for the University of Nevada, Reno, and was very proud that the city had a world-class institution of higher learning.”
