March Meeting Recap

Another great meeting with the members of the Las Vegas Media Group took place today at The Wedding Room.  I was a bit nervous about the numbers at first

because I called in a head count of 40 but got a few last minute cancellations of regularly-attending members and thought we’d have to pay for meals not eaten.  When I arrived close to 11:30 am the parking lot was not as full as it usually is, so that made me even more nervous!  But, by 11:45 the place started to fill and I am happy to say we had 41 people in attendance.  Whew!  That’s why RSVPs are so important – we run the risk of either paying for meals for members that don’t show, or not having enough food for members who show up without an RSVP.  I know I harp on it, but letting us know if you are coming or not is important, so please mark your calendars for the THIRD MONDAY OF EVERY MONTH and be sure to contact Lisa to let her know if you are coming to the meeting or not.  Thanks to Dave Williams for giving me the idea to place a calendar on the blog so now all meeting will show up there! 

Okay, about the March meeting.  Thalia Dondero was a wonderful speaker.

She shared what it was like to be the first female Clark County Commissioner.  We all laughed when she told us about her first day on the “job.”  All the men around the table asked her to make the coffee.  Thalia told them all what they could do with that request – but she said it like the lady that she is!  I made a short video of the talk and will put it up on our Las Vegas Media Group You Tube channel as soon as I’ve edited it.  There are other videos up there so go check it out if you haven’t already.  Click the link to get there. 

Birthdays to celebrate this March include:

• Spike Measer (kind-of new member)
• Mike Schafer (brand-new member)
• Johnny Pinjuv (who celebrated 89 years on March 18!)

Happy Birthday!  Remember, if I don’t have your birth day and month, please send it to me.  I’d cry if I knew I’d forgotten someone! 

At the moment we don’t have a speaker scheduled for April.  We will soon know who will be our guest, so stay tuned!   

Enjoy the spring weather.
