December Meeting Recap

At the last Las Vegas Media Group luncheon of 2011 we had another large attendance with 44 people!  Once again, I need to remind everyone that RSVPs are important, as I called in for only 35.  Luckily, our server, Patty, had the foresight to ensure there was enough food so no one went without.  As we continue to grow, however, we can’t always count on that so PLEASE email or call in your RSVP.  Remember, we meet EVERY THIRD MONDAY OF EVERY MONTH.  Put the date on your calendar so you have a reminder to let us know if you are coming to the lunch.

Our group was surprised with the arrival of LVMG founder, Frank Mitrani.  It was so good to have Frank present; we miss him as he now lives in Kanab, Utah and is not able to be with us often.  Frank, you look great and we hope to see you more often!

Our speaker was Mr. Rick Rico, manager of Palm Mortuary.  He shared some interesting stories.  See an excerpt of his talk about his life and career on You Tube: http://youtu.be/WLpjTiGw4Po .

Our giveaway was once again fun-John Getter provided two of his books, Moonwalkers:  to the moon, untold stories of the space race.

Last month it was new author Betty Bunch, who gave a few of her recently published books, High Heels and Headresses:  memoirs of a vintage Vegas showgirl to be raffled off.  Betty brought her books to this meeting for purchase.  For the group she sold her books for $20.00.  Let me know if any of you are interested in purchasing member books.  Soon I hope to have all members’ books (and even their historic photos) for sale on our website (lasvegasmediagroup.org).

Another promotion goes to our MC Rich Friedland.  His Fame Game Show is performing at Choices Pub and Showroom on Thursday, January 25 at 9:00 PM.

Happy Birthday to:

Carey Burke

Jewel Mayhew

Jim Marsh

Lee Mcdonald

Bob Shawhan

Here is hoping you all have safe and wonderful holiday celebrations with your family and friends.

Our next meeting is, Monday January 16. The speaker scheduled is Stu Michaels.

 See you then!

December Meeting Reminder

HELLO EVERYONE!  Santa and I would like to remind you about our next Las Vegas Media Group lunch meeting.  Next Monday, December 19th, we will once again meet at The Wedding Room at 3601 West Sahara on the southeast corner of Valley View.


This month we have the floor to ourselves.  No speaker is scheduled so we have a chance to catch up with one another, something we haven't had much chance to do in a while.  Maybe we'll even have a surprise visitor!


So, make your RSVPs to me as soon as possible and I'll phone in the head count.  Lunch begins at  11:30 am and cost is only $15.00.


See you on Monday.

Las Vegas Comedian Sammy Shore

Our guest speaker was comedian Sammy Shore giving us a taste
of his genius with stories of his work in Las Vegas, as an opening act for
Elvis Presley, and gave us his take on reality television. He had everyone in
the group laughing, especially our own Carey Burke who took the brunt of his
jokes!
