Women of Searchlight, Laughlin and Cal-Nev-Ari
The second event of The Nevada Women's Legacy-150 Years of Excellence Sesquicentennial Project was held on Saturday afternoon, January 25, 2014 at the Searchlight Community Center. This event, free to the public, was a celebration of the contributions of six women from Southern Nevada: Verlie Doing and Jane Overy from Searchlight, Deb Dauenhauer, Cheryl Crow and Dottie Lewis representing Laughlin, and Nancy Kidwell from Cal-Nev-Ari. The entire event was video recorded to be placed on the website: www.womenofdiversity.org

Dr. Marlene Adrian and Denise Gerdes, representing the nonprofit Women of Diversity Productions, Inc., coordinators of the Nevada Women's Legacy – 150 Years of Excellence project, introduced the women and the project. They also showed video recordings of their interviews of the honored women. The women or a family member spoke briefly about their life and contributions to their communities.
After enjoying light refreshments provided by the Searchlight Historic Museum Guild, the audience was asked to respond to the question "WHAT CAN YOU AND ALL WOMEN DO IN THE NEXT 150 YEARS TO BRING YOUR TALENTS TO THE FOREFRONT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA’S HISTORY? IS THERE A BLUEPRINT OR DO YOU CREATE YOUR OWN?" Everyone agreed that each created their own. Six individual responses were shared with the group and were recorded.
The Searchlight Historic Museum Guild hosted the event and Clark County Museums provided the sound system. All video recordings of the event and the clips of the original interviews of the women honored today will be available for public viewing at www.womenofdiversity.org
