The Las Vegas Rotary Club, established in April 5, 1923, is
part of the worldwide fellowship of Rotary International.
This international service organization has a membership of
more than 1.2 million members, in 200 countries, with 32,000
clubs throughout the world.
The 2011-2012 theme for Rotary International, "Reach
Within to Embrace Humanity” is very fitting for the Las
Vegas Rotary Club. In presenting this theme, International
President Kalyan Banerjee focuses on three emphases – the
family, continuity and change. As I reflect on the qualities
of our Las Vegas Rotary members, Rotarians from the Las
Vegas Rotary Club embody these qualities. Rotary's high
ideals of fellowship, international understanding, and
service are applied in our personal, business and community
lives by over 140 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 our website for information
about our club activities and service projects.

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,
Sharon McNair
President 2011-2012
