Memorial Day Weekend, May 24 – 27, 2019
Cornerstone Park, 600 W. Wigwam Pkwy, Henderson, NV
On Memorial Day weekend 2019, the Rotary Club of Green Valley in conjunction with the City of Henderson and the USO® will host our second annual Field of Honor® throughout Cornerstone Park in Henderson. We will again be honoring our Heroes: veterans, fallen soldiers, active duty military, first responders, and community members who live the Rotary motto: “Service Above Self.” At last year’s, ceremony Mr. Wayne Newton and Henderson Mayor Debra March spoke. This year, we will have multiple programs on stage throughout the weekend featuring local citizens, performers, high school and college musicians. The main program on Monday, May 27, 2019, promises to once again be inspirational and moving.
The Field of Honor® 2019 will be a breathtaking display of nearly 1000 American Flags recognizing courage, nobility of character, and achievements of those around us. A special area sponsored by the Rotary Club of Green Valley will be dedicated in remembrance of the 58 victims of 1 October.

CLUB HAPPENINGS
We had a great visit from PDG Tom Novotny, and a very thought-provoking presentation on International vs American schools by the energetic Angie Crowther this morning! We all learned so much from her thoughtful and inspiring presentation.
We had a great time at our annual Bike Rodeo yesterday!
The K through 5th grade classes came out to learn bike safety and improve their technical skills on our bike courses. We were joined by a few HPD officers that helped fit helmets and teach bicycle and pedestrian safety skills. A great time was had by all!
We had a wonderful meeting last week at Silverado High School. We welcomed our newest member Ami Khauv, who had her family and friends in attendance. Ami's mother, Rotarian Marianna Khauv, was proud to give her daughter her first Rotary pin.
We also heard from our Interact students and learned about the projects they have been working on this year.
Because Rotary Club of Green Valley isn't a direct service provider, we often don't get to see the fruits of our labors. So it was such a blessing today to meet and get to know the recipients of our Teacher Mini-Grants!
It was inspiring to hear about all of the wonderful new projects they were able to bring to their students because of our mini-grants. Thank you to all of the wonderful teachers that we have in our community!
