“It is a pleasure to see these individuals continue to excel as members of our great team here at the City of West Wendover”, said City Manager Melville.  “All three are dedicated professionals who serve the community well, many times behind the scenes with no accolades.  However, these service plaques are just one small way to ensure they know how important I and the City believe their service is and to recognize not just their longevity, but the achievements they make along the way.” 

In addition to their service plaques, Toni, Amber and Fernando also received service pins designed with the City Seal.  The pins reflect the employee's years of service with a star for every five years they have served.  As well, they each received a $50 Smith's Food Store Gift Card. 

A big congratulations to Toni, Amber and Fernando, thank you for your service!
