Message From The President

President-Elect Jackie Thornhill and the Fundraising Committee are currently running our first annual fundraising raffle. The raffle has been submitted to and approved by, the Nevada Gaming Control Board. The raffle will be held on September 27, 2018, with the grand and only prize of $10,000 to the winner. Tickets cost $100 each and we have three hundred tickets to sell. If we sell all three hundred tickets the Club will net $20,000. Each ticket that we do not sell is money that we could have raised but did not. I am asking each of you to support our Club by joining me in taking three tickets from the Fundraising Committee and committing to sell them to people outside of the Club. The tickets are relatively easy to sell. I have already sold two and I like my chances to exceed my three ticket quota. As a reminder, the person who sells the most raffle tickets will receive $200 in Lawry’s Bucks.

Each year we participate in numerous community projects and donate significant sums to charities that provide much-needed support to the Las Vegas Valley and beyond. One of the things I learned by preparing the Club and Foundation budgets is that we make charitable donations in excess of $200,000 per year (not counting the joint Foundation-Howard & Howard donations). Our Club has members who are very generous with their money and we are grateful to them for their continued support of our Club, and its projects and the Foundation. While we have been blessed with our members’ generosity, it led us to rely on their continued donations as opposed to raising funds from outside the Club to support our projects. The raffle is our first chance to change this paradigm for the better.

The fundraising committee and I need your support of the raffle. By taking three tickets and soliciting sales from outside the club, each of you will bring in new funds to our Club. Each of you will also have the opportunity to tell prospective members why this is the greatest Rotary Club in the world by sharing the good news about what we do in Las Vegas and the beyond. Proceeds from the raffle will help us to continue our mission to teach youth to succeed through literacy, education & life skills development. We all believe in this mission statement. Through the raffle, we have the opportunity to monetarily support our mission as well as letting others know what are doing and believe in.

To paraphrase Randolph Duke go out and sell, sell, sell. Thank you in advance for your support!

James A. Kohl

Socrates is an educational web-based platform that provides individualized learning for students of all ages.

It also creates a record to reflect the student’s level of learning that can be transferred from school to school. With Socrates, the student advances at their own pace.
