A round of applause for Elaine Goddard, Front Desk Associate, for her leadership in organizing the Spring Arts & Crafts Show It was a huge success and was executed perfectly Many thanks to Lori Daniels for her contribution to all of the special touches for every event (ticket distribution, RecTrac records, etc.)

To the entire Lifestyle Department, Trish Williamson, Lori Daniels, Elaine Goddard, Fran Klein, Jan Davis, Kotch Bergman, Angie Stepp, and Shirley Spivey, you are the “village” that pulls these events off without a hitch! You are invaluable with Breeze contributions, ticket sales, assisting with events, and exceeding expectations with a first-class attitude.

Admiration, appreciation, and acknowledgement go to Elaine Jefferson, Vice Chairperson, who worked her magic and led the Lifestyle Committee in planning and organizing a suggestion made by Board Liaison, Sonja BankstonCullen to design a “Meet & Greet” for residents. To the Lifestyle Committee Champions, Sharon Grossman, Elaine Jefferson, Julie Tomlin, Toni Stuart, Gayle Pallans, Ralph Punzi, and Art Davis, thank you for producing the Spring Fling Extraordinaire!

It takes a remarkable maintenance team to support all of the events and we couldn't have our exceptional success without manager Juan Macias, and his team: Angel Martinez, Jose Vargas, Sharon Roe, Alonso Ledesma, Francisco Cheves Amaya, and Tony Guevara. Huge kudos for providing the necessary labor to make these events spectacular

As always, the leadership of Damian Carrasco, Nelenie Hernandez, and Carol Garbarino is greatly appreciated in making this community deserving of another year of recognition by the CAI selection committee.

Letter From The Editor Councilman Ward 4 Richard Cherchio

Hello Residents,

The month of June brings with it many celebrations: graduations, weddings, proms, fun vacations, and even a nod to dear ole Dad on Father's Day, June 18. I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to check out some interesting topics in our June seminar lineup.

For example, you may not realize that herds of Ice Age Columbian mammoths, lions, camelops, saber tooth cats, bison, llamas, horses, massive sloths and dire wolves once roamed the area known as Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument located RIGHT BEHIND Sun City Aliante. Join Sandy Croteau of the Protectors of Tule Springs on June 13 and learn more about this historic National Monument and how you can get involved.

Join Kelley Carr of Lumina Las Vegas on June 16 for an informative presentation, approved by UNR Medical School. Get all the facts you need to understand dementia and learn how to live with it. On June 21, join us for a presentation discussing free services for the visually impaired or blind. Learn there are different levels of vision loss, and you do not have to be totally blind to be eligible for free services.

Should I enroll in Medicare when I turn age 65? This is one of the most common questions people ask. Medicare is confusing to say the least. When you turn 65, if you are still employed, there are other considerations. Andrea and Brandon Scott will give you all the answers you need on June 22.

If you want to learn more about the high-tech safely features in your car and how to use them, join AARP on June 28 for a FREE workshop. You will leave with a technology checklist which will offer guidance on desired technologies when shopping for a new car or what features may already be in your car.

If you are heading out on vacation or shopping for insurance for your auto and home, don't miss the AAA seminar on June 29 hosted by Pauline Thoman and Tara Gray of AAA. You may be surprised to learn about all the new services AAA offers.

As I have several college and high school graduates in my life right now, I wanted to share a few GRADUATION FUN FACTS with you.

• Tossing the graduation hat is a tradition signaling the end of the ceremonies and the flight of graduates to whatever awaits them.

• Diplomas were originally made of sheepskin. The words were in ink on paper-thin sheepskin, allowed to dry, then rolled up and tied in a ribbon. Later, they were printed on parchment when printing techniques improved. They ditched the ribbons when graduates complained that curled up diplomas were difficult to frame.

• “Pomp and Circumstance” was originally composed in 1901 by Sir Edward Elgar By 1918, many prominent colleges adapted it as their official graduation accompaniment.

• The commencement cap is called a mortarboard because of its resemblance to a masonry tool of the same name. The tassel was added in the 19th century Protocol requires the tassel to be worn on the right side until a candidate graduates.

Enjoy the month of June and its celebrations.

I always welcome your comments and suggestions. If you have any questions, please call or text me at 702-429-1623 or email twilliamson@suncityaliante.us.

Trish Williamson Editor, The Breeze

Summer has finally arrived and I want to remind you to keep your dogs and pets safe by following our Ordinance No. 3053, which requires animals to be properly sheltered and cared for while being kept outdoors. This summer is going to be a hot one; so, make sure to keep your furry friends in mind!

I am honored to share that once again, Sun City Aliante has been named the Southern Nevada Outstanding Large Association for 2022! This is the 4th time that this award has been won in the past 5 years, which creates a pretty good track record in my book. This year, the competition included Red Rock Homeowner's Association, Sun City Anthem Community Association and Canyon Gate Master Association which are all very steep competition. Congratulations to everyone on the Sun City Aliante team, and congratulations to you, the residents!

Moving forward, I wanted to share a story that is dear to me. Joey Penney, a local fourth grader in the City of North Las Vegas wrote to me with some concerns he had about our city's water conservation efforts. In his letter, he expressed some very thoughtful concerns he had about what our city is doing to help combat the situation of water shortages. I was so impressed that someone so young would take the initiative to reach out to his local government representative; so, I knew I needed to meet him in person and help educate him on what the city is currently doing for water conservation.

I presented Joey with a Good Citizen Award at his school, and visited his class to say how proud I was of Joey for caring about the environment and using his voice to make a difference. I shared with his class all that the city is doing and encouraged all of them to learn more about ways they can use their voices to make a difference, even if it isn't for water conservation. I am so proud to have Joey Penney in my ward and look forward to seeing what the future holds for him as he grows up.

Finally, I want to encourage all of you to keep an eye on all of the fun summer events we have planned for you, your family and friends in the City of North Las Vegas. From movie nights to indoor classes to pool parties, we know you'll find something just right for you and your loved ones to get together and have fun.

I hope all our Mothers had a well-deserved Mother's Day on May 14, as well as respectfully celebrated Armed Forces day on May 20, and Memorial Day on May 29 in remembrance of all our Veterans who make all we have today possible.

In closing, Please remember Flag day on June 14th, which just happens to be my daughter's birthday too:), and I wish all my fellow Dads on June 18 the best Father's Day possible!

Thank you for all you do, and for supporting the City of North Las Vegas today and every day.

Yours in service,

Richard Cherchio Ward 4 Councilman

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH MONTHLY BULLETIN:

North Las Vegas is said to have one of the lowest crime rates in Las Vegas, especially our ward, Ward 4. With that said, we still need to be proactive in the security of our home and surroundings. The best thing for your home security is to get to know your neighbors. Take a walk or a drive and see what cars or trucks normally park on your street. When you leave your home, always look around to see if there is a vehicle you don't recognize, with someone sitting in the car or just driving slowly It could be someone watching you leave your house. It never hurts to drive around the block to make sure that the car isn't now stopped in front of your house. It's just better to be safe than sorry and the point is to watch for something that seems out of place.

All residents are welcome to join us at our next monthly Neighborhood Watch meeting which will be held on June 14 at 4pm in the Community Center.
