In a recent meeting of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission in Las Vegas, a heartfelt appreciation was expressed for the success of the "Beyond the Boots" women's retreat, which catered to female veterans. The retreat, held earlier this year, received positive feedback from participants, highlighting its impact on the community. Another retreat is scheduled for September 12 and 13 at Mount Charleston, generating excitement among local women veterans.

As the meeting progressed, Commissioner Burgos shared details about upcoming events, including a September 11 remembrance service at Floyd Land Park. This event, running from 8 to 10 AM, aims to honor the lives lost on that tragic day and recognize the bravery of first responders. Burgos also promoted "Critters of the Night," an engaging event for children set for September 19, which promises to be a fun experience for families.

The meeting concluded with a note of gratitude towards Vice Chair Niigler for effectively leading the session. A commissioner recovering from health issues expressed optimism about returning in October, eager to reconnect with the team and explore new facilities.

With no public comments raised during the citizen participation segment, the meeting wrapped up, leaving attendees looking forward to the upcoming events that foster community spirit and honor local heroes.
