Work of bell ringers for Emergency Aid appreciated

Each year the holiday season in Boulder City begins with the ringing of the bell for Emergency Aid of Boulder City. This year’s season began the week of Thanksgiving, Monday, Nov. 21, with Boy Scout Troop 7. Our young people have supported Emergency Aid all year by conducting food drives, volunteering in the pantry and various fundraisers. This was another opportunity for their commitment to serve.

Next year, we encourage more of Boulder City’s youth groups to join us in ringing the bell.

Other organizations that rang the bell: Boulder City Business Group, St. Andrew Catholic Community, Boulder City Elks Lodge No. 1682, Rotary Club of Boulder City, Boulder City United Methodist Church, Boulder City Chamber of Commerce, Faith Christian Church, Sunrise Realty, Xi Zeta Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi and Boulder City Council members. And, volunteers of Emergency Aid.

Many citizens of our community stepped in at the last minute to fill hours when needed. There’s no city like our city to help one another.

Happy holidays and thank you.

Myra Davis

See Spot Run grateful for year-round support

First, a big thank you goes out to all who have donated pet food and pet-related items to our annual food drive to help Emergency Aid of Boulder City.

Emergency Aid could use our help year-round. You can drop off original, unopened bags within the expiration date at Professional Room and Groom, 707 Canyon Road, No. 105a. (It is closed Tuesday and Wednesday.)

See Spot Run and Emergency Aid know firsthand how much each donation is appreciated.

Secondly, See Spot Run would like to thank all who have contributed to a successful year for the dog park. It may have been a donation, or help when work in the park was needed, or being a good ambassador for the park. It takes a team to keep an enjoyable play place for our four-legged friends.

Thank you to all. Without you we could not do it all. See you at the park.

See Spot Run

Strategic plan benefits Boulder City

There is an old saying that claims, “What doesn’t get measured, doesn’t get done.”

A close call

What comes around, goes around

As many of you know, I grew up in Boulder City, moved away for more than 35 years and then returned in April of last year when offered the job of editor of the Review.

I’m a mean one, Mr. Grinch

It was Friday and I had been deeply involved for more than an hour in a discussion with the band’s new keyboard player sorting out who was playing what on each of the 25 or so songs for the unit’s first public gig coming up in just a bit more than five weeks after this issue hits the street. And I suddenly realized I was sitting in my garage with a guitar in my lap in the dark.

The right to be heard

I’m not here to tell you which candidates or ballot measures to vote for on Nov. 5.

Voters to dive into ballot question next month

It’s widely known that the existing Boulder City Municipal Pool is out of date with current building standards, inefficient and faces structural challenges in the coming years, if not sooner.

Festival epitomizes generous spirit

Fall officially arrived last month. That means its time for a long-time tradition for Boulder City residents: Art in the Park.
