City Council To Recognize Group Working To Prevent Veteran Suicides

Nonprofit Group Offers Unique Outdoor Recreation Experiences

The Las Vegas City Council will recognize a local organization dedicated to preventing veteran suicides at the April 17, 2024, City Council meeting that will begin at 9 a.m. in Council Chambers on the second floor of City Hall, located at 495 S. Main St.

Ward 4 Councilwoman Francis Allen-Palenske will honor Forgotten Not Gone, a local nonprofit organization that provides veteran peer support, comradery and activities for veterans. The group specializes in outreach through activity and utilizes a fleet of "tricked-out" recumbent trikes to help individuals keep their minds off self-destructive thoughts.

In addition, the City Council will recognize the April 2024 Employee of the Month.

The meeting will be broadcast live on cable channel 2, and at www.kclv.tv/live.
