The Las Vegas City Council meeting on May 21, 2025, highlighted community spirit and recognition, with two standout moments that captured the essence of local engagement.

First, the council honored Sue Lynn Castleberry as Employee of the Month for her exceptional dedication and service to the city. Human Resources Director Vince Zamora praised Castleberry for her unwavering commitment, stating, "She is always doing whatever she can to ease the workload of myself and other employees." Castleberry, who has been with the city since 2002, expressed her gratitude, saying, "It means a lot to me... I'm just so blessed and honored to be selected." Her colleagues echoed this sentiment, highlighting her selflessness and leadership qualities that have made a significant impact on the HR team.

In a second ceremonial highlight, Councilwoman Nancy Bruni recognized Walker Furniture and the Alturitz family for their contributions to the community. Bruni emphasized the company's role in supporting families in need through initiatives like the annual "Home for the Holidays" event and partnerships with local organizations. "They have acknowledged the dignity of these families and planted seeds of hope," she remarked, showcasing how Walker Furniture goes beyond business to foster community connections.

These recognitions not only celebrate individual and corporate contributions but also reinforce the importance of community support and engagement in Las Vegas. As the city prepares for Memorial Day, the meeting served as a reminder of the collective efforts that strengthen the fabric of the community.
