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), who are standing in front of the completed building. These officers were responsible for writing the grants and lobbying the City of Las Vegas, County of Clark and State of Nevada to obtain the $475,000 it took to construct the Center. The center is the first fully bilingual-staffed senior center in the State of Nevada. 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.
