VIDEO: It's Your City with Carson City Supervisor Karen Abowd
This week's It's Your City with Cortney Bloomer features Carson City Ward 1 Supervisor Karen Abowd. The two discuss the Western Nevada Safe Routes to School Program, which delivered books as part of the Ride for Reading event last week at area schools.
The Carson City School District, the Carson City Library and the Friends of the Library joined the effort to distribute free books to more than 1,500 local students. Better World Books donates the books to help promote reading and bicycle safety.
Put on your walking shoes this Friday at noon, when Abowd will hold her monthly Walk-about at Mills Park.
This month, in addition to whatever things folks want to bring up, Abowd would like to focus on Arts and Culture in Carson City and ways they can be promoted not only for the joy these things bring, but also as a component to bolstering local economy and tourism.
This event takes place every month as part of the commitment Abowd made to her constituents during her first election, to hear their ideas and concerns and get their input in order that she could best serve their needs.
To be an active part of local government, simply meet at noon on the steps of Carson City Community Center and take a sack lunch, if desired.
It's Your City is a weekly program aimed at keeping you informed about city government and other organizations and happenings around Carson City, Nevada.
