Live Your Dream

Hitting the halfway mark of the shortened work week, Wednesday events around town include Northern Nevada Development Authority's The Business Edge monthly meeting, "State of the Counties" at Casino Fandango, a Capital City Arts Initiative reception for the "Photo Finished 2020" exhibition featuring the works of 9 Carson High School students, a Bee City USA Carson City meeting at the community center, a women's Seeking Safety workshop, and more.

Winterfest is here, and the theme, Carson's Got Game, is more than just a nice motto, it is a series of multiple physical board games, playground games, and video games. According to CHS physical education teacher and Leadership adviser Ann Britt, “the class color teachers will be playing a game of life-size Hungry Hippo during the assembly Jan. 17, and we will be doing a door decorating competition with judging taking place Jan. 21; the top three winners will receive a gift card to Starbucks.”

Carson City Soroptimist will present the Live Your Dream Award, five scholarships, and recognize four Girls of the Month during its January program meeting. The meeting is open to the public, with prior reservations required. It will be Wednesday, Jan. 22, noon to 1 p.m., at Glen Eagles Restaurant.

Are you a woman with the primary financial responsibility for yourself and your dependent(s) or family? Are you enrolled in or have been accepted to an undergraduate degree program or a vocational/skills training program?
Do have financial need? Apply for a Live Your Dream, Education and Training Award for Women through Soroptimist International of Carson City.

Heading into the middle of the work week, Wednesday, May 22, there's no short supply of places to go and things to do around Carson City. Sure you may want to pull out your parkas or sweaters for the day. All the more reason to take in those rays of sunshine when the clouds break. A walk through the capitol grounds is always a blessing and treat, no matter the weather or your politics. So enjoy. Here's what's ahead:

Carson City Soroptimist will present grant awards to two women, and honor the achievements of local high school seniors, on Wednesday, May 22, noon to 1 p.m. at Glen Eagles. The meeting is open to the public, with prior reservations required.

Good morning, Carson City, and Happy Monday! Be careful on your commute into, out of or around the Nevada state capital this morning. Snow and ice are expected to cover the roadways, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination, and drive safely.

There will be a few extra motorists in Carson City starting today and for the next 120 days as the 2019 Nevada Biennial Legislative Session begins.

Do you know a local mother, the primary source of income for herself and her dependents, who is enrolled in an undergraduate degree or vocational skills training program, and could use a bit of help?
