Biographical / Historical Note
The Children's Services Guild of Southern Nevada (CSG) is a volunteer group organized in 1969 to provide support for children through Clark County Family and Youth Services (formerly Juvenile Court Services). Robert Ranney, who donated this collection, worked closely with the CSG. The group continues to meet and create craft items for sale at their Christmas boutique. The proceeds from sales of the crafts are available to the staff at Family and Youth Services to benefit children with needs over and above what would normally be provided by the county, such as eyeglasses or special dental needs.
The Guild also provides food, clothing and programming assistance for children that come in contact with the Family Court, Department of Family Services, and the Department of Juvenile Justice.
