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:

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

 See you then!
