Hello again, Reno! Important update: You all, as readers, have made the Reno Daily so successful that it is my honor to announce the next stage of the newsletter. Patch is looking for a local writer and entrepreneur to take the helm of the Reno Daily. Although I have loved getting to know this community, we want to pass the torch to someone truly local to write about Reno long term. So if you're interested in earning extra income while making this newsletter a more valuable resource for your neighbors, learn more and apply here.

First, today's weather:

Increasingly windy. High: 72 Low: 51.

Here are the top three stories in Reno today:

  1. Thanks to an organ, eye, and tissue donation, a local 10–year-old will be able to run the bases on May 6 at Greater Nevada Field. Victor Salazar will run the bases during the Reno Aces' Home Run for Life. The event is sponsored by Donor Network West and brings awareness to the organ donation community. (Carson Now)
  2. The Northern Nevada Barber Academy serves the community and changes lives. Last November, Gregory Fair opened his barber school in Sparks because there were no local options for training future barbers. Since its opening, the Northern Nevada Barber Academy has been a success with many students using the training to change careers. (KOLO)
  3. As of May 2, a Reno teacher arrested on multiple counts of sexual assault with a minor is out on bail. The alleged sexual assault occurred when Jose Montelongo-Flores, 54, was a teacher at Vaughn Middle School. (KRNV)
