🌱 City Council Turnover + Events This Week + Sip And Screen Party

Hi all. It's me, Helen Eckhard, your host of the Reno Daily. Come along for the most important things happening these days in town.

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and cold. High: 42 Low: 17.

Here are the top 3 stories in Reno today:

1. The Reno City Council has introduced three new members since September. Kathleen Taylor, Miguel Martinez, and Meghan Ebert have joined the council to represent Wards 5, 3, and 4 respectively. While Naomi Duerr's Ward 2 seat was also up for reelection during the General Election on Nov. 8, the candidate retained her seat by nearly 3,000 votes. (KRNV)

Shock Illusionist Dan Sperry will perform at the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts this Saturday, Nov. 19, and the Reno Wine Walk returns to the Riverwalk downtown that same afternoon.

3. This month's featured film for the Sierra Arts Foundation’s Sip and Screen event will be The Menu — a new thriller starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Ralph Fiennes, and Nicholas Hoult. The private screening will take place this Friday, Nov. 18, at 6:00 p.m. and include a lavish cocktail party featuring oysters, caviar, and other treats. Tickets can be purchased here before the end of the day on Thursday, Nov. 17. (KOLO)
