Your Association News & Updates

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRESIDENT

Much has happened over the summer months and we are looking forward to Fall when cooler temperatures are with us once again. It's certainly been quite a year so far. As you may know, there will soon be changes to our executive board and office staff in January. I am confident that you will be in good hands and our association's best interests will be carried forward. On a lighter note, our association enjoyed one of the best attended Las Vegas 51s baseball games to date! Ball park fare was served pre-game and our own Ron DuVan threw out the first pitch.

Overall, serving as your president is one of my life's most fulfilling moments. You will always be a part of me as I move on with my career here at LVMPD. Throughout my presidency, in good times and in crisis, your well being was most important and will continue to be. I wish you all success and happiness for years to come.

Past Events
