  • February 2016 Nevada Garden Clubs, Inc
    Vol. 43 No. 3 Director’s Theme: “Look to the Garden Through the Eyes of a Child – A Kaleidoscope of Possibilities” our children are the ones to lead us, they need to be prepared and we can help in that process. Recently while planting bulbs with a Cub Scout Troop, we found them eager to learn, asking questions and enjoying the crisp fall air. I asked them to find three creatures as we were planting the bulbs and they found them: a worm, a lady bug and, of course, bees. This led to an educational opportunity regarding each of those creatures. They wanted to hear more and to do more. We must ask ourselves, “What have we done to make this world a better place for children?” Come to the Pacific Region Convention “Beyond the Neon” in Henderson, Nevada. We are so excited to welcome all of you. We can share ideas about how to Pacific Region Director Krisitie Livreri & Cub Scout Troop make the world a better place. We are planning some tours that will enlighten all of us. Our workshops and CALL TO CONVENTION-see pages 8 to 14 programs will be educational and productive. And we will be entertained. We look forward to hearing the Director’s Message chairmen report about what each of the states have been doing and of course the state presidents will have Happy New Year!!! When I was a child 2016 was time to boast about the things they are doing in their incomprehensible. It would have been a Sci-Fi movie.

  • City Guide & Management for Las Vegas, Nevada Exhibits, Events & Environments Welcome
    NATIONWIDE LABOR CITY GUIDE & MANAGEMENT FOR LAS VEGAS, NEVADA EXHIBITS, EVENTS & ENVIRONMENTS WELCOME Welcome to Las Vegas – the Entertainment Capital of the World - a city known for its bustling casinos, celebrity chef restaurants and never-ending nightlife. Born and raised in Southern California, I was always familiar with the city’s allure and now I enjoy calling it home. I have been working in the trade show industry for more than a decade, holding various field and managerial positions with both I&D companies and full service exhibit houses. Now, as the On Location Nevada Area Regional Manager, I oversee all Las Vegas based projects and lend support to our other teams throughout the west coast, including Arizona, Utah and other surrounding areas. My days are filled with resource planning, job reconciliations and communicating with the field, account executives and clients. That includes spending a lot of time on the show floor making sure all clients’ needs are met. Our team sees that it’s our job to make your job easier. Having lived and worked in the Las Vegas area for years, I can also be a helpful resource for things to do while in town. Well known for slot machines and neon lights, you never have to step foot on the casino floor to have fun. There’s unlimited restaurants, entertainment and so much more even before the sun goes down. Visitors of all ages can enjoy golf, hiking or relaxing by the pool. While this City Guide is filled with useful and fun information, questions may arise and I am here when they do.
