HAPPY NEW YEAR to all! Hope your holidays were safe and enjoyable. Glad they are over, right? The New Year is off to a great start. I wanted to provide updates on some member news and to tell you about our next few meetings.
First, we have finally secured the esteemed historian, Mr. Michael Green, to be our January speaker. He is a professor of history at the College of Southern Nevada, the author of several books and writes for local publications. In addition, he is an all-around-stand-up-guy and we are so honored to have him come and share his knowledge of Las Vegas history with us. Frank has been trying to get him to speak before our group for some time, so we are lucky he has the time to come.
In February, Cork Proctor has someone lined up. More information on that when I talk with Cork.
Dick Taylor continues to fight his battle with ill health; our thoughts and prayers are with you, Dick. Stay Strong!!!!
Speaking of Dick Taylor, he is being honored with a wonderful recognition for all of his years promoting and preserving the history of Mt. Charleston. On Tuesday, January 18th, Dick is receiving a Proclamation for Historian Laureate of Mt. Charleston from the Board of County Commissioners. The meeting to present this proclamation will be held at 500 S. Grand Central Parkway and begins a 9:00 AM. Anyone can attend and it would be a wonderful show for Dick for his posse to be there.
Another member, Jim Marsh, is being recognized by the F.I.O.R.E. Non-Club Club for his generosity in helping a local resident receive necessary surgery. This event takes place at Italian America Social Club January 13th, 2333 E. Sahara at 11:30 AM. Reservations are required if you wish to attend. Cost for the lunch and event is $20.00. Send your R.S.V.P.’s to Nelson Sardelli at nsardelli@aol.com.
Rich Friedland has a new CD out. For those of you lucky enough to attend the December meeting, you got a free CD. He has copies available for purchase and since Rich is so funny, it’s worth every penny! We’ll ask him to bring some to the January meeting.
