Mesquite resident Frank Pati was recently named Nevada Senior of the Year, a well-deserved honor for the man who started and headed Mesquite’s Senior Games. He will receive his award from the Nevada Silver Haired Congress in Las Vegas on May 22.

No trophy will be quite as impressive as the Mesquite Senior Games Quilt he was given at a recent gathering of the Senior Games volunteers.
