June Meeting with Member Collections

This meeting we did things a bit different.  Instead of having a speaker, it was decided to have our members share their very own Las Vegas history by brining in their collectibles.  Of the nearly 40 members that attended, about half of them brought in photographs, ephemera, pottery, buttons, casino memorabilia, and even an old outfit to share.  It was a great meeting and we got to know our members a little better. 

Here are photographs taken of the meeting.  Enjoy!
