Centennial Hills Library will be holding a book club mixer and a book signing with a local author.

The mixer will start at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, March 6. Metro Police detective and author Chris Baughman will be there. He will be talking about his book “Off the Street.” The book details the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Pandering Investigation Team. The team was created to fight pandering in southern Nevada. Detective Baughman will also be signing copies of his book.

The event will also be a chance for people to learn about the book clubs offered through the library. The Centennial Hills Readers Circle and other book clubs will share information about the books they are reading, and the authors they are interested in.

Light refreshments will be served. The event is free and open to the public. For more information call 507-6107. The mixer is also a pre-festival event for the Vegas Valley Book Festival which is set for November. 

Aid for AIDS of Nevada (AFAN) is partnering with local artist Robert Marlon for the grand reveal of his flagship art studio in Las Vegas on October 15 from 6-8 p.m. Guests are invited to peruse the private gallery and immerse themselves in the extraordinary mixed media paintings and fine art giclees while enjoying live music, complimentary cocktails and appetizers. A portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated back to AFAN to supplement its ongoing battle of fighting HIV/AIDS in Southern Nevada.

Join AFAN in celebrating Robert Marlon’s artistic debut as he unveils his premier collection. Marlon has donated a piece of work titled Rainbow’s End to be auctioned during the event, awarding AFAN 100 percent of the sale. In addition, 15 percent of all gross sales of the evening will be donated back to the organization to continue supporting more than 4,000 clients living within the HIV/AIDS community.
