CARSON CITY – The state Board of Examiners today approved a 10-year, $27.6 million contract to install kiosks in grocery stores statewide where Nevadans will be able to renew car registrations, extend drivers licenses and perform other tasks that might otherwise require a trip to a Department of Motor Vehicles office.
Come enjoy fine wines, great beer, Tahoe’s best hors d’oeuvres, desserts, classical guitar, and an impressive silent auction at South Lake Tahoe Women’s Center’s 12th Annual Sunset Gala on Sept. 17, 2011 from 5:00-8:00 pm. This year’s event will be held where Lake Tahoe meets the beautiful beaches of Bali at Dr. Sean Degnan’s fabulous lakefront home. The home’s Bali design has become a central theme for the Gala as the event will feature local fire dancers, tropical mixed drinks and a Most Fabulous Flip Flops contest.
Often it’s the quick demolition route developers will take to get rid of one project to build another. Materials are thrown in the trash with no consideration for their reuse potential.
