Greetings to my fellow Rotarians from the fabulous "Rotary Club of Las Vegas West." Why is this club so fabulous all of a sudden? Well, it isn't that recent. We've always been fabulous.

But we're even more talked about these days because of our club's new fundraising effort. We call the fundraiser, It's Vegas, Baby.
 
It's a global Internet-based effort to raise money for our charitable works for underprivileged youth, with a raffle to win a four-day, all expenses-paid vacation for two people to our exciting home town, fabulous Las Vegas.

Some lucky couple in Paris or Peru; Kazakhstan or Katmandu; Sydney or Salt Lake City will win a vacation to a town filled with the world's grandest hotels; glittering global stars; exquisite restaurants with the most palate-tempting menus; and round-the-clock gaming excitement. All bathed in the brilliant sunshine of a desert oasis.

That's our home town. That's Vegas, baby!

But there's another side of Las Vegas. It's the world of the underprivileged and disadvantaged children that our club has been committed to help for the last 15 years. Every penny we earn from this fund-raising effort will be spent to support the club's work in the other Las Vegas and in the important work of Rotary International around the globe.

We do not have to tell you about the importance of Rotary. But we do want to tell you that you can help Rotary and win a VIP vacation to the most cosmopolitan and valued holiday destination in the world.

You could win:
  • Round-trip airfare to Las Vegas from your nearest international airport
  • Four nights in a five-star hotel
  • $US500 shopping spree at the world's finest stores
  • Tickets to a major Las Vegas show
  • Exquisite dinner for two at a fabulous Vegas restaurant
  • Golf or spa services for two
  • Limousine service to and from your hotel from Las Vegas Airport
Go to www.lasvegaswestrotary.org/itsvegasbaby.html to read all about it.

Enter the contest with a $US50 donation.

We look forward to welcoming you to the glamour and fun of our home town - fabulous Las Vegas.
