SUMMER 2015

MAY 30 - SEPT. 13

Donald W. Reynolds Discovery Center

HEAR THE ROARS AT Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice™Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice is the first child-centered exhibit in the country dedicated to expanding the understanding of dinosaur habitat and range roars at DISCOVERY Children’s Museum through Sept. 13, 2015.

The exciting traveling exhibit transports families back to the Cretaceous Period (145 – 65 million years ago), the time when dinosaurs last lived on earth, allowing children and adults to explore dinosaur habitats to better understand how these mysterious animals lived.

Children will go face-to-face with the prehistoric world and meet dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes. The exhibit, created for children ages 3 or older, will feature two distinct environments and a variety of activities. A Field Research Station allows children to step into the role of paleontologist by uncovering fossils with brushes and creating drawings of the dinosaur environment using fossil rubbings and tracings.

The steamy “Land of Fire” connects visitors with the prehistoric home of the Triceratops and T-Rex. Children can circle the land in insect costumes and buzz through a volcano with oozing lava or work through a swampy bog and identify an ecosystem of animals or plants. No coats are needed for a trip across the “Land of Ice” where visitors meet two dinosaurs, a Troodon and Edmontosaurus, who made their homes in the cold climate of Alaska. Activities include: climbing rocky steps, breezing down an icy slide and hoping across stepping stones in an icy river.

Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice utilizes new research about climates in which dinosaurs were able to survive and thrive. The discovery of numerous species of dinosaurs in the Arctic is causing scientists to reconsider old theories about dinosaurs only living in tropical climates. It is now known that many dinosaurs, including Edmontosaurus and Troodon, lived in cold weather climates for at least part of the year.

The beautiful Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas played gracious host by presenting our inaugural DISCOVERY Royal Tea benefiting the Museum on Sunday, May 3, 2015.

We are both excited and thrilled to say that all our guests, girls and boys, moms and dads and grandparents all had a wonderful, fantastic and special time. The Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas and their amazing team truly presented a gorgeous occasion with delicious savory and sweet finger foods and the finest teas from around the world.

It’s fun to report that we were also graced with a Royal Court visit from the King and Queen themselves, with Princess, Royal Knight, Court Jester and grand Royal Throne in attendance; lots of photos were taken and fun memories made!

Everyone, girls and boys, of all ages, ran from one activity table to the next, stimulating their minds and creativity. At each art table we had a tremendous experience creating and decorating royal sashes, crowns, goblets, swords and shields; and making finger puppets and royal teapot photo frames.

We take this opportunity to thank you, our wonderful and generous friends that came, enjoyed and supported our inaugural DISCOVERY Royal Tea morning together! Thank you also to all our amazing event sponsors and their teams, Mandarin Oriental Las Vegas, By Dzign, Best Agency, Encore Event Technologies, Cashman Photo and The Art Institute of Las Vegas. Thank you to each and every one of our extremely generous event partners, too numerous to mention, who donated so much to make our DISCOVERY Royal Tea and Royal Raffle a true success by raising nearly $36,000.

Thank you to our talented volunteers that gave their passion, time and friendship.

And, a special thank you to our incredible and hardworking DISCOVERY Royal Tea Committee and brilliant Chair, Carrie Carter-Cooper. Without you, Cynthia Asher, Madeline Benito-Banaszak, Judy Cebulko, Lexie Cebulko Cormier, Joanna Falb, Jean Fink, Emily Goodman, Kristie Jelinksy, Amada Kouretas, Stacie Truesdell Michaels, Noey Richardson and Shari Wong we could never had realized such a successful fundraiser.

INAUGURAL ROYAL TEA, A ROYAL SUCCESS!

SEPTEMBER – Celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month!

Hispanic Heritage Month roots go back to 1968 and begins each year on September 15, the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Mexico, Chile and Belize also celebrate their independence days during this period and Columbus Day (Día de la Raza) is October 12. The term Hispanic or Latino, refers to Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race. People of Spanish, Hispanic and/or Latino origin could identify themselves as Mexican, Mexican American, Chicano, Puerto Rican, Cuban, or "another Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin."

During National Hispanic Heritage Month (officially celebrated September 15 to October 15) we recognize the contributions made and the important presence of Hispanic and Latino Americans to the United States and celebrate the group's heritage and culture. Hispanics have had a profound and positive influence on our country through their strong commitment to family, faith, hard work, and service. They have enhanced and shaped our national character with centuries-old traditions that reflect the multiethnic and multicultural customs of their community.
