Full moon this weekend
Also on Saturday, the moon reaches peak fullness at 5:22 a.m.
NASA says the moon is at just about its farthest point away from Earth, which will make for a slightly smaller-looking moon. That shouldn’t diminish its brilliance in the night sky, so be sure and take a look eastward after sunset this weekend. The moon will appear full for a couple of nights before and after Saturday evening.
Parent Night offers prevention-based education and information
Partnership Douglas County offers Parent Night, “an evening of insightful conversations and resources for families,” 6-7:30 p.m. April 14.
The event takes place in the dining room of the Douglas County Community and Senior Center, 1329 Waterloo Lane in Gardnerville. There is no cost to attend.
Parents and guardians will receive information about youth drug trends and listen to a special vaping presentation by the Nevada National Guard Counterdrug Program. Parenting tips will be offered by a local juvenile probation officer, and other experts will be on hand to answer questions. A mini-training will be held to teach attendees about Naloxone, a medicine used to quickly reverse an opioid overdose.
The evening also features the launch of the HEART program, which is, “…designed to empower young individuals facing challenges by providing compassionate support and essential resources.” HEART stands for Hope, Empowerment, Assistance, Recovery, and Transformation.
Pre-registration for the event can be made at www.surveymonkey.com/r/SRM5KZ2.
