CLUB HAPPENINGS
The USO Las Vegas is doing so much for the military families in our community. Special thanks to Dave Thorson for coming to our breakfast meeting and telling us about all of the programs the USO has for local military families. For more information, check out their Facebook page and see how you you can get involved!
This morning's presentation by LJ Edmondson and Tiffani May of Mastering Mindsets Las Vegas was very inspiring! We were all motivated to do more for the community, and to rethink how we can be of even greater service to those in need.
Thank you so much LJ and Tiffani for sharing your organization with our membership and guests. Your passion for education and service to the families that you help was galvanizing. You are indeed People of Action.
Please join us for breakfast, fellowship, and a presentation by LJ Edmondson, Founder of the nonprofit Mastering Mindsets Las Vegas. We invite you to come learn about Rotary, the Rotary Club of Green Valley, and our community service projects in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
Please arrive 15-20 minutes prior to breakfast to check-in and get to know our club members. $15 for Visitors/Guests to our Club for breakfast. Breakfast starts at 7am.
Thank You for the invitation. We look forward to meeting you all.
Thank you so much to those that supported our Souper Bowl of Caring today!
Thanks to our hosts, Vons. Thanks to the students from our local high school Interact Clubs, and to our volunteers from Up With People for donating your time! It was a fun day and we have so much to drop off at the food pantry.
Join Rotary Club of Green Valley today from 9:30am -3:30pm as we help tackle hunger with our Souper Bowl of Caring! We will be at two Vons locations in Henderson collecting food that goes to the Henderson food bank.
We will be at the Vons Stores at 45 E Horizon Pkwy and at 2511 Anthem Village Dr.
Support us by buying a few extra items for those in need in our community. Thank you!
Great idea to collect outside a supermarket! Your Rotarian group does a lot of service. We are collecting soup at church tomorrow for the food pantry also.
Thank you Rotarians
