Community Heroes Reception |
Senator Horsford will honor local volunteer coaches in the Las Vegas community by hosting a "Community Heroes Reception" on Sunday August 29, 2010. The reception will be held at the Event Center at the Culinary Training Academy and is scheduled to begin at 2:00pm. CTA is located at 710 West. Lake Mead between Martin L. King Blvd. and the I-15.
Coaches will receive recognition for their commitment to serving the community by being a mentor, coach and leader. Often times these coaches sacrifice their time, money and energy to make the lives of young people brighter. Through their coaching they help youth stay in a positive environment.
If you are a coach and would like to attend please call us at (702) 985-7535 to RSVP. This event is free. We are also accepting nominations from players, parents, or community members, who would like to nominate their coach to receive special recognition. Three coaches will be selected to win sponsorship for their team! Please download the nomination form here.
Please fax nomination forms to (702) 631-6400 or forms can be dropped off at KCEP Power 88.1FM Radio Station located at 330 W. Washington.
The "Community Heroes" Reception will be a launching event to Senator Horsford's "Let's Move" Initiative, an initative asking coaches and community leaders to participate in this fall. For more information on the reception or the "Let's Move" Initiative, please contact Kenya Pierce at (702) 985-7535.

The Green Jobs Initiative- Putting Nevadans Back to Work |
Senator Steven Horford
Hello,
 This past Friday, I was proud to introduce Nevada Senate Bill 152- the Green Jobs Initiative. We have a unique opportunity to put Nevadans back to work and create a cleaner Nevada for our children. Investing in a “Green Job” economy is a two for one – we will create a more stable economy and we will invest in making the planet cleaner and safer for a brighter future. Indeed, it is our moral responsibility to leave this state, and planet, in better shape than we found it and green jobs are an enormous step toward making that a reality.
