Dear Ward 3 neighbors,
I would like to share a few of the activities happening in and around Ward 3 to celebrate Black History Month. Don't miss our City Hall Chamber Gallery’s African-American Heritage Exhibition featuring works by local artists through April 14. KCLV-TV 2 will feature a virtual tour of the exhibit on an upcoming "City Beat" show. The East Las Vegas Community Center is inviting youth to choose a person from black history that has inspired them and enter the “Extending the Dream Mixed-Media Contest” through Feb. 18. Award categories range from elementary to high school. Feb. 18, the Las Vegas My Brother’s Keeper Alliance and Batteries Included will host a movie screening of “Antebellum” in The Smith Center parking lot. For additional details on these and other events, please click here.
I hope you enjoy catching up on some of my recent activities and learn about upcoming Ward 3 events happening in partnership with local organizations like the Culinary Academy of Las Vegas and Get Outdoors Nevada.
Yours in service,
Olivia Díaz
