Five Republican candidates for governor are scheduled to participate in a forum at the next meeting of the Fernley Republican Women, May 17 at the Fernley City Council chambers

A light meal will be served at 6 p.m. and the meeting will start promptly at 6:30 p.m.

The candidates scheduled to participate are Joey Gilbert, Dean Heller, Guy Nohra, Fred Simon, and Barak Zilberberg. Each candidate will give an opening statement, answer questions from the audience, and provide a closing statement. The public is always invited to attend.

The FRW’s Caring for America Program collects non-perishable foods for the Fernley Food Bank and the Armed Forces/Homeland Security Program collects cleaning supplies, food and personal care items, along with donations of funds, for the Veterans Guest House in Reno. The Literacy Committee collects new and lightly used children’s books for Bow Wow Books, an organization that teamed up with the Fernley library. Bow Wow Reading Dogs are non-judgmental certified therapy dogs who listen to children reading aloud. The dog’s handler has been educated on how to help readers learn to read. All contributions for these important programs will be greatly appreciated. Financial contributions can be sent to the FRW at P. O. Box 412, Fernley, Nevada 89408.
