"Las Vegas Senior Citizen' Advisory Board developed this program for two reasons; (1) To encourage seniors to make life better for others through volunteer work. (2) To recognize these very special citizens," said Dr. Lei. "Every three months the Board selects a senior who has voluntarily contributed to the Las Vegas commuhity to receive this award. The contribution may include efforts made in the individual's church, school, senior center or any community program."
To be eligible for nomination to this program, candidates must: (1) Be at least 55 year old. (2) Reside in Clark County. Dr. Lei did recommend the President of Thai Cultural Arts Association of Las Vegas to compete with others for the honor in June, 1998.
