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!

Speaker of the Month
Our very own Don Payne provided the entertainment by sharing his career history for the Las Vegas News Bureau. It was a wonderful talk and it is always great to hear from our very own members who have amazing stories to share. I received an email
remarking on Don’s talk, “I was surprised to hear how big a job Don Paine had with the News Bureau, and how modest he was
in his presentation.” Great job, Don – and thank you for taking the time to share with us!
Next Meeting

Nevada History Project
As many of you know, I have requested that my Nevada history students interview you individually for a project. Unfortunately, I did not have enough students for a class this semester so the project is postponed until spring. I still have the names of those that have agreed to be interviewed, but need more so if you are interested, or would like more information, just contact me at gioiaacres1988@gmail.com or 702 245-9206.
