reunion

Since the early 1980s, May has been a month for celebrating historic preservation and archaeology in Nevada. This year, the theme acknowledges the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act, which helps to stabilize neighborhoods and downtowns, contributes to public education, attracts investment, creates jobs, generates tax revenues, supports small business and affordable housing, and powers Nevada’s heritage tourism industry.

Two dogs that went missing a week ago were found safe, according to their owners. The shaggy white Spinoni Italiano dogs were found Friday.

On Wednesday the owners chartered a helicopter in their effort to find the dogs Mara and Adele who went missing after chasing rabbits in east Carson City.

At noon on Saturday over 40 children are expected to return to the only place they called home. Northern Nevada Children's Home propelled many children into amazing lives as teachers, college professors, plastic surgeons, city managers, transportation directors, mothers, fathers and happy productive citizens.

We will return for a libation family reunion ceremony. We will water a tree and say thank you to all our
Cottage Parents that cared for us.

With the substantial amount of rain the region has received this winter and spring, the water levels are up and enticing.
Not to mention summer is just around the corner!

It’s time to start planning your houseboat vacation in the Shasta Cascade region and enjoy an experience to remember.

Depending on which houseboat you choose, you can be sliding down two or three story waterslides into the cool, refreshing lake water.

You've heard about those mysterious black helicopters, but does anyone know why we have two white Chinook helicopters circling around south Carson City?
