NALA Project: The meeting was held at NALA due to the closure of TPC for the upcoming PGA tournament. Glenda Failla was our speaker for the day. She was a guest of Paul Workman and will be the project manager for the NALA project. She and Paul gave us an overview of this three-phased project which is summarized below:

Phase One will be to get the playground open for the children to use safely. This will probably be accomplished in a month.

Phase Two will consist of ensuring the playground is compliant with new health code regulations that take effect in 2008. During this phase, the team will address security issues such as fencing and also begin involving the community, parents and children to do some of the non-technical work. The team will also compile a list of items needed and seek corporate sponsorships for these items. Efforts will also be made to involve the media.

Phase three will complete the project.

There's no fellowship in an empty chair.
Your guests and visiting Rotarians help kindle the flame of fellowship

Marian Replogle came as a guest of Bobby G.

What Paul Harris Said

"The old catalogue listed goods which were considered sacred. Men, women and children bowed before them in abject humility. Whether in church, on the golf course or at a Rotary club luncheon, their thoughts were upon them. They were listed in the catalogue as possessions. Whatever the spoken prayer may have been, too oft the inner prayer was: 'God grant us abundant possessions.' The hunger for possessions obscured the desire for the wholesome things of life; it was pervasive of morals, inimical to higher concepts, destructive of real happiness, devastating."

Paul P. Harris said that in his message to the 1934 Convention in Detroit.

Anniversary Party: The invitations to Las Vegas Northwest Rotary Club's ten year anniversary party are complete and ready to mail. All former members we can find will be invited.

The event will be at TPC on November 10th from 6 to 8, with hors d'oeuvres a cash bar. The dress is business attire.

Everyone is encouraged to invite potential new members so they can hear about our club and experience our friendly, fun group.

Rotary Fellowships Rotary Fellowships should not be the best kept secret in Rotary, but they are! There are over 70 different Rotary Fellowships. Each Rotary Fellowship focuses on a specific vocational or recreational discipline. Rotary Fellowships give Rotarians the opportunity to network with other Rotarians with whom they share interests. Fellowship is the foundation on which Rotary was built, and it is the source of Rotary's strength. Learn more about Rotary Fellowships and how they benefit you, your club and Rotary's global mission at http://www .rotaryfellowships.org/

International Travel and Hosting Fellowship (ITHF) One such Fellowship is the ITHF. As you can imagine, the ITHF is gearing up for the International Convention in Salt Lake City. They are organizing a tour of the western United States prior to the convention.
