Description

Happily celebrating a dream come true for southern Nevada's Hispanic community are the 1985 and 1986 Officers of Council #11081 of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). These officers were responsible for writing the grants to seek funding for the center and then lobbying funding grants from the City of Las Vegas, County of Clark, and the State Division on Aging to construct the $475,000 senior center. The center is the first fully bilingual-staffed senior center in the State of Nevada. Today in 2019, the former LULAC Senior Center is operated by the Latin Chamber of Commerce of Nevada and has been renamed the Arturo Cambeiro Senior Center.
