We had some new people attending the meeting; it’s always great to see new faces in the crowd.  One attendee, Stu Michaels, shared that he has a book coming out.  It’s called You Can’t Make This Up.  Find out more at his website: http://youcantmakethisupbook.com/tag/stu-michaels/

Speaker of the Month
Our very own Don Payne provided the entertainment by sharing his career history for the Las Vegas News Bureau.  It was a wonderful talk and it is always great to hear from our very own members who have amazing stories to share.  I received an email
remarking on Don’s talk, “I was surprised to hear how big a job Don Paine had with the News Bureau, and how modest he was
in his presentation.”  Great job, Don – and thank you for taking the time to share with us!

Next Meeting
Speaking of member stories – next meeting, November 21^st we will hear from Jim Marsh.  Jim has some great tales to tell so be sure and RSVP so we can have a seat waiting for you at the next meeting.

Nevada History Project
As many of you know, I have requested that my Nevada history students interview you individually for a project.  Unfortunately, I did not have enough students for a class this semester so the project is postponed until spring.  I still have the names of those that have agreed to be interviewed, but need more so if you are interested, or would like more information,  just contact me at gioiaacres1988@gmail.com or 702 245-9206.

See you all in November!  Boy, the days are going by quickly!
