A Nevada 150 signature event of the 2014 sesquicentennial year, “First Ladies First: An Afternoon with Five Former First Ladies of Nevada,” will take place Saturday, January 11 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. With introductions by current First Lady Kathleen Sandoval, five former First Ladies of Nevada will gather to have a conversation with the public sharing their special projects, challenges, and lives while residing in the Governor’s Mansion. Guests can enjoy their stories, ask questions, and learn more about what Nevada’s First Ladies have done.
The historic event, sponsored by Women of Diversity Productions, will feature former First Ladies Kathryn Sue List (1979-83), Bonnie Bryan (1983-89), Sandy Miller (1989-99), Dema Lee Guinn (1999-2006), and Dawn Gibbons (2006-10).
“We are so excited to kick-off the new year with this momentous signature event,” says Kara J. Kelley, executive director of Nevada 150. “This event will provide great insight into what it was like residing in the spotlight of the Governor’s Mansion, as well as the importance of women’s roles in Nevada’s history.”
