Nevada became a state
(admitted to the Union)
October 31, 1864, so Nevada Day is October 31st
of each year. However, with the passage of AB396
by the 1997 Nevada State Legislature, Nevada
voters, on November 3, 1998 advised the 1999
legislature they wanted to celebrate Nevada Day
on the "last" Friday in October beginning in
2000. The legislature, after much heated debate,
complied.�
Nevada Day is presently a state holiday
recognized on the last Friday in October with
the parade on the Saturday following.���
This year Nevada Day will be observed Friday,
October 31, 2008 and the Nevada Day Parade will
be held Saturday, November 1st. starting
promptly at 10:00 A.M. rain or shine! Learn more

Transition
Services
Transition Services began in 1998 to assist people in Las
Vegas with disabilities in finding
meaningful employment in a supportive
atmosphere.� At that time, and still
true today, the choices in employment
for people with disabilities is
limited.� The visionary founders
recognized the need for a progressive
kind of work model, one that offered
more choices, and more individualized
attention to help people find a better
way to connect with their communities
and find meaning for themselves.
Transition Services will share their
work and keep the community aware of
their programs. |

Nights in Rodanthe
Richard Gere and Diane Lane get together
again, this time a bit more amicably than they did in
their 2002 Unfaithful, where they were doing the lover�s
quarrel in the sinister dance mode. For Nights In
Rodanthe, the two quietly, smoothly dance into each
other�s arms in an unlikely manner posed by a script
with so few characters there is no way they could miss
each other.��

Layoff�Children�s Futures
We
recently�heard that due to possible budget cuts�the
school district is�likely�be forced to layoff thousands
of employees, including classroom specialists, teacher
mentors and other support staff.� Come on people what�s
next? Why not just close schools all together send kids
to the streets! Then we can use all those empty schools
for prisons, because without an education, that is where
these kids could end up..... |
