January Meeting

What a great meeting we had to start the New Year!

For those of you that couldn't make it today, you missed a great lunch.

Featured guest speaker was local author, Stu Michaels, who shared stories from his recently published
book:  You Can't Make this Up: Cops, Crooks and Celebrities from Brooklyn to Las Vegas.  We are lucky to be graced with so many amazing speakers, who take the time out of their busy lives to visit with us! Stu's stories
were very Las Vegas-related: he talked about his encounters (protective services and eventual friendships, really) with the likes of President George Bush, Steve Wynn, Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor and Liza Minelli.  More of his great stories are in his book.

We would also like to wish a happy January Birthday to

Thalia Dondero
Pat Weaver
Ester Lynn
Joan Massagli
Helen Mortenson
Rich Newman
Ralph Pressler

We would also like to wish Mark and Joan Massagli a happy 49th Wedding Anniversary.

Lisa's Nevada history class is a go this semester and her students will be interviewing Las Vegas Media Group members on their life and career histories.  If you haven't signed up to be a part of this project (and you all should, you all have stories that need to be told!), please contact her at 702-245-9206.  We have about 15 signed up so far.

Next meeting on Monday, Feb. 20, we will welcome news correspondent Ms. Myram Borders.  Mark your calendars.

See you again soon.
