Who’s running for Reno mayor? Join us for a community forum with the local mayoral candidates vying for your vote ahead of the June primary election. This forum is co-sponsored by KUNR Public Radio, the League of Women Voters of Nevada, and the Reno Gazette Journal.

Enjoy a relaxing evening of free-flowing fine wine by Highway 12 Winery, a riveting talk by a specialist in their field, and the great company of like-minded outdoor lovers while aboard the iconic paddleboat, the Tahoe Gal.
Tickets are $60 per person and include the cruise and a guided program. Dinner is available, with menu items ranging from $12 to $25 (e.g., sandwiches, salads, and small plates). A cash bar will be available. Seats are limited, so a reservation is required. Proceeds benefit the many great works of the Sierra State Parks Foundation.
We highly recommend guests arrive at 5:30 pm as the boat leaves sharply at 6 pm! We predict the boat will return to the docks at 8:30 pm.
Lake Tahoe's Early Maritime History
From the 1860s to the 1930s, land transportation at Lake Tahoe was limited to some trails and even fewer roads that were covered with snow for at least five months of the year. "The Lake" was the highway upon which steamers transported residents, tourists, logs, groceries, the mail, and everything else needed by homes and resorts around the Lake. Nancy Stromswold, Archive Manager at the Gatekeepers Museum, will share the story of the steamers, people, and places that are Tahoe's early maritime history.
Stromswold has been a full-time West Shore resident since 2013; part-time since she was a child. She is passionate about Tahoe history, its communities, and the people who love the lake as much as she does.

You are invited to hear from the candidates running for the Mayor of Reno.
KUNR Public Radio reporter Bert Johnson will moderate the forum on May 13 at 5:30pm at the Wilbur D. May Museum. Attendees will have an opportunity to ask the candidates questions and to interact with other voters. The Washoe County Registrars' Office will be present to answer questions about voting. The event is free. For more information go to www.lwvnevada.org.

Scams are not new, but the tools being used have changed.

The truth is that artificial intelligence has made many scams harder to recognize. Common misconceptions include believing scams are easy to spot, only target people who are not tech-savvy, or rely on obvious mistakes or poor grammar.

This seminar examines the realities of scams in the age of A.I., including voice cloning, realistic emails and text messages, impersonation of trusted organizations or family members, and misleading investment and medical marketing. We will focus on how these schemes work and why they are effective.

Attendees will gain clearer understanding of current risks, warning signs, and practical steps to reduce exposure and protect personal and financial information.
