Las Vegas Media Group: August 2012

Boxers and Burlesque!

I bet that got your attention! Another great Las Vegas Media Group meeting today. Read on and see why!

I think the heat kept a few people away, that and a few of our regulars had committments that prevented them from attending. Hope those that aren't feeling well get better soon, those that are having new grandbabies born - CONGRATULATIONS!, and those that are on vacation - have fun and come home safely.

Today's speaker was famed boxer Earnie Shavers. What a wonderful, funny, and humble man.

Ernie took questions from the group and all were impressed with his career and life story. We have a Facebook page. If you are on Facebook, please click this link and LIKE us!

We were introduced to former Burlesque dancer Bambi Jones. She was such a hoot and will be a speaker for the group in the months to come. Bambi has just had a book of her memoirs published and I am sure it is filled with great stories. Bambi still has what it takes to get attention. Just look at this photo from our lunch meeting!

The Wedding Room has been so good to our group. Why not show your appreciation to the great service we receive by helping them boost their marketing. Go to YELP on your computer or your mobile phone, provide a review for them, they’d sure appreciate it.
