Visit to LV West Rotary
Michael Flint will be leading a few of our members who might like to attend the January 16 meeting of the Las Vegas West Rotary Club on Tuesday January 16th at Noon at Canyon Gate Country Club. The speaker is Sam Jankovich, General Manager of the Las Vegas Gladiators.

Attending another club’s meeting counts as a Rotary attendance make up, but you’re welcome to attend even if you don’t need the make up. Email Michael Flint (NewClients@aol.com) if you plan to attend or if you have any questions.

“The sailing of a boat in fair weather is not the best test of seamanship; the maintenance of good cheer when everything is coming one's way is not the best test of disposition; the pursuit of an enemy who is on the run, is not the best test of courage.” Paul P. Harris, in The Rotarian, February 1932

Third Post:
Cliff Marcek has proposed Darrell Cavananaugh and Vicki Wille for membership. If you have any questions, please contact Jim or Michael.

Message from Ronzone Elementary
Ronzone Elementary School is looking for community members to assist in Nevada Reading Week from February 27- March 3, 2006. There are opportunities to volunteer as well as to make a financial contribution. Click here for complete message.

This Rotarian has been wandering around for a while, but no one has seen him in years. You probably have a hidden Rotarian in you too. Let's bring them out. Announcing our Beautiful Baby Contest. Over the next few weeks we will collect your favorite childhood images. Everyone will have an opportunity to identify the Rotarian hidden in the picture.

There will be a prize given to the person who can correctly identify the most "Rotarians in the Rough" as well as a prize for the picture of the Rotarian who has been identified the least--no telling anyone which is your picture.

Any picture of you, black and white, or color, print, slide, or digital can be used. We will scan prints and slides if you like and return the pictures in the same condition in which you presented them. Pictures must be of you from high school age or younger (sorry no sonograms or X-rays). You may enter up to three pictures--this often confuses the contestants.
