LUNCHEON HONORS SENIORS
By: Gene Simon
Mark your calendar!
It promises to be a
gala event. The over
55 clan oT Southern
Nevada will be gathering
on May 23 for
the sixth annual "Take
a Senior to Lunch'L ,
celebration, the convivial
climax to the
multitude of activities
which honor seniors
during May, the
month dedicated especially
to them.
The luncheon will
be held at the Sahara
Hotel Space Center,
where, at noon, seniors
and many of their
sponsors will gather
to socialize, entertain
and be entertained-
-and, of course, to
enjoy a delicious luncheon.
The 1981 affair i?
being jointly sponsored
by the Clark County
Committee for the Aging
and the Association
of Senior Citizens
Clubs of Clark County.
Las Vegas and subrounding
communities
annually take this opportunity
to honor
members of their third
generation, many of
whom are on limited
incomes which leave
little or nothing to
spend for entertainment.
Many of the tickets
for seniors attending
the luncheon are sub- -
sidized in whole or
part by private citizens
or by business,
po Mi cal, rel i gi ous
and fraternal organizations.
It is safe
to say that without
this generous assistance
there would be
no "Take a Senior, to
Lunch" celebration.
Again, this year,
an appeal is being
made to sons' and
daughters to sponsor
their parents or
grandparents and to

Dear Mr. Hoggard,
You are one of the nicest persons I’ve known since I’ve been in Las Vegas. I was more than happy to have been of aid to you whenever necefeary. I only wish I could have stayed on longer to become better acquainted with you and everyone else in the office. Everyone was so nice and helpful to me during the time that I was with the
I enjoyed talking with you on the few occasions that I was privile ed to do so.
You were something like an inspiration to me. The things you said were so inspiring, in a way, in fact, that I really decided to go to school and do my best. I had really wanted to go to a business school rather than attend a four year academic college, but now things are entirely different. I feel that it’s best for me to go to college and get the business training I desire in my spare time.
Whenever I return to Las Vegas, I’ll drop in to see you and who knows, I may be wanting a job with E.O.B. again (smile).
Thank you for everything you’ve done; I’ll never forget you or the others people that I worked with. Wish them all luck for me and the same to you.
Sincerely yours,
Miss Neva Jo Coley

I really wanted to.

Dear Dave:
Here's a copy of the section dealing with the governing board of the apprenticeship fund mutually handled by the Association and the Operating Engineers.
Of course, the language is restrictive and a lot of it tailor-made for specifics, but overall it might provide some ideas. It’s my understanding that this type of agreement is standard in labormanagement cooperative efforts. Cbviously, what we're looking at differs but some of the guidelines may apply.

We never were able to get together to discuss Title I. It looks like that will have to be permanently postponed now that I am leaving Clark County. I can hardly forget that first trip we made up to Moapa where you shook your head in disbelief at my babe-in-the-woods approach to the administrative jungle. You were quite right; getting this place moving was like getting the jolly green giant off his back.
I have been very pleased to have been associated with you during the last year. I want to thank you for your help and support. I do count you as one of my professional friends and regret that we won't be working together during the next year.

Your May 31 letter
Dear Mr. Hoggard:
Any overpayments made to an employee such as an incorrect claim payment or
overpayments of premium contributions made by an employee, etc., should be
adjusted. Consequently a full return of contributions made to Economic
Opportunity Board on account Mrs. Hoggard’s health insurance after she
attained Age 65 should be made by the Board to the Employee.
Any premium overpayments made by the Board to the Prudential prior to the
policy anniversary date were automatically adjusted by the year end
calculations. Consequently, only $106.68, the amount of premiums paid to
the Prudential on account of Mrs. Hoggard’s health insurance since the
last policy anniversary is due the Board by the Prudential.

Dear David, '
It was with great sorrow that I learned -that your wife,
Mabel, passed away last week. Simple words alone cannot
adequately express the deep sense of loss and sympathy that I
feel for you and your family.
Mabel was a genuine hero in the truest sense of the word.
She left an indelible mark as an outstanding educator, as a
dedicated civic leader, and as a compassionate friend. Our
community was forever changed because of her guidance and
strength. Above all, however, Mabel was kind and generous woman,
a devoted wife and mother, and a loving grandmother.
Please know that Landra joins me in expressing our sorrow at
Mabel's death, and that our thoughts are with you. Please also
express our sympathy to the other members of her. family.
If there is anything I can do to assist you during this
difficult time, please don't hesitate to call me.

Dear Mr. Maheu:
Last week I was in Las Vegas several days to confer
with our committee there. As you know, this group includes
Woodrow Wilson, David Hoggard and Jimmy Gay. At that time
we expressed a desire to meet with you, but found that you
were out of the city.
We reviewed the status of Negroes and other minority
people in Nevada and realize that no single organization
by themselves can solve the multitudinous problems that
face the community. The National Association for th® Advancement
of Colored People is anxious to share in the
responsibility of helping our people help themselves.
Therefore, we are anxious to go forward with our educational
program and are desirous of receiving support from the
Howard Hughes Tool Corporation which will enable us to
start this new work.
I am writing to request that you meet with me and our
committee at your earliest convenience to discuss the matter.
Our Annual Convention will convene in Atlantic City
next month and it would be a particularly significant time
to report on our work in this Region.
Thanking you in advance for your consideration, I am
TUP:ar
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Maben:
The events of the past two weeks have shocked us and the
nation to a point unparalled in our experience. However, we
realize we must all redouble our efforts to achieve our goals
which will erase all tensions based on race or religion in our
multi-ethnic society.
Our Executive Director, Roy Wilkins, has written an open
letter to Americans of good will since the assassination of our
friend, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In this letter Mr. Wilkins
sets forth NAACP’s position on nonviolence with the accomplishment
of our goals. I know it is important for you to know the
position of our organization in these confusing times and for
this reason, I felt it would be timely for you to receive a
copy of this letter.
I am available to talk with you or members of the Howard
Hughes Tool Corporation to make any further presentations you
may wish in connection with our project. You may contact me
at my office or through Jimmy Gay, David Hoggard or Woodrow
Wilson who know how to reach me on short notice.
Should you wish I will be glad to send others a copy of
Mr. Wilkins* letter.
Sincerely yours,

Jimmy phoned me this morning and suggested that
I send Mr. Maheu Roy’s letter. I am enclosing a blind copy
of the letter which I have just sent him.
When I wrote you I didn’t know that the Southern
Area Conference is meeting in Las Vegas on the weekend of
May 24th. In that event, I’ll not be coming unless we have
already received our check from Howard Hughes J Glory be,
wouldn’t that be wonderful if we could report at that time.

Dear Dave:
I would certainly like to commend you for the work you have done as
program developer for the Economic Opportunity Board of Clark County. You
have brought to the community action board a rare ability to work with people.
We certainly have found you to be imaginative, creative in developing programs
and in.impIementing them. This, combined with your talent for working with
other agencies, has been responsible for some outstanding programs of our
agency.
I have appreciated knowing you over the past four years. I recall
working closely with you on a voluntary basis in the early community organizational
efforts we made in the deprived areas of Clark County. The 25,000
minority people resident in Westside have gained considerably by your interest
and espousal of the many and serious needs of the area.
In the many months that you have been employed on our staff, I have
watched your ability to translate your community interest into aggressive
and productive programs, and you can be proud of the recognition that these
have achieved.
I have appreciated the years I have been working with you. I
hope we can look forward to having your services with this agency.

my secretary to type it as I do not have a photocopying

I think we are not surprised that our project was

I wish to thank you again for the Interest you have taken in the NAACP Special Contribution Fund by making a presentation to Major General Nigro. I followed your suggestion and tried to reach him by telephone. Therefore, I have written the enclosed letter and trust he will find time available after I return from the Northwest.
In a telephone conversation, Mr. Freeman said that Major General Nigro will be in New York during the time that I return from the Northwest. For that reason, I asked about two dates that follow his return. I do trust we will be successful in this contact.
