Mesquite Showgirls
The seeds for the Mesquite Showgirls were planted in 2010, when work began on a structure and mission statement to establish a showgirls group for women interested in getting involved in community events in a light-hearted way, without having a lot of rehearsals or time commitments.
In January 2011, the Mesquite Showgirls registered as a non-profit with the state of Nevada with four inaugural showgirls. By the end of 2011, the group had completed and published a Member Guide, which emphasized the importance of friendship and respect as a hallmark of the group.
With the Guide as a foundation, a Guest Showgirl program was established in 2012 for women interested in becoming Showgirls, with five inaugural Guest Showgirls.
Members have come and gone depending on their circumstances. Since 2011, the group has grown to what it was at the start of 2016; with twelve Showgirls, seven ShowGuys, two Foster Donkeys, and a dedicated group of Committee volunteers supporting the group’s mission.
From January 2011 to January 2016, the Mesquite Showgirls made 265 appearances, the majority as part of our ongoing partnership with community service groups and businesses in the Mesquite area. The group has also made six “on the road” appearances: Galveston Texas, Hawthorne Nevada, Jean Nevada, Salem Missouri, Salt Lake City Utah, and Texas City Texas.
Showgirl participation at events is tailored to the needs of the requesting organization, from being greeters, providing registration, program, and emcee assistance, to ticket and raffle support. We also appear at ribbon cuttings, parades, parties, and photo events, and occasionally make cameo appearances as part of local entertainment offerings or in Western theme, patriotic, or Victorian attire.
The Mesquite Showgirls became a Section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization in March 2015, EIN 47-3424629. We do not charge for our appearances, but donations are welcome. You can use the “Contact Us” tab on this website to make a donation or contact Jean Watkins at showgirls@rconnects.com or 702-345-4088. Your support is very much appreciated.
