The 2009-2010 theme for Rotary International,

economic downturns and thriving times, Rotarians from the Las Vegas
Rotary Club continue to meet the challenges facing our community.
Rotary's high ideals of fellowship, international understanding, and
service are applied in our personal, business and community lives by
over 150 members of the Las Vegas Rotary Club. Our members meet
weekly for fellowship and to discuss and plan service projects both
at home and globally. Please take a few minutes to browse through

Proudly, Rotary International is the leading
service organization working with the World Health Organization,
United Nations, UNICEF, the Gates Foundation and governmental
agencies in the effort to eradicate polio from the face of the
earth. The Rotary PolioPlus initiative began in 1985. Since then,
Rotarians have spent over 800 million dollars and supplied countless
volunteer hours to immunize more than two billion children in 122
countries. Today, the only countries not declared "Polio Free" are
Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Nigeria. Polio is still crippling
children in these four countries. In this global world we live in,
polio can easily jump borders and is only a plane ride away. As long
as it is circulating somewhere in the world, the threat of an
outbreak remains. Rotary will fulfill its promise to the world to
eradicate polio. If you would like to join us in our efforts to
eradicate polio by making a donation, please contact myself or any
member of the Las Vegas Rotary Club.
The Las Vegas Rotary Club meets every Thursday
at noon at Lawry's, The Prime Rib located at 4043 Howard Hughes
Pkwy, Las Vegas, NV 89169. We look forward to welcoming visiting
Rotarians and potential new members.
Sincerely,
Tom Axtell
President 2010-2011
