Winter Works

Over the course of the winter months, the Rotaract Club has been busy! In November, they donated a check to the Rotary International for Polio research. On November 12, 2008, the club presented a $300 check to the District Governor Gene Hernandez. The money goes towards the funding and research of polio in an effort to completely eradicate the world of polio.
Additionally, the club had their first holiday party, hosted by Maureen Mckinley. Some of the members got together to have some dinner and enjoy one another's company before the winter holidays.


On December 4th, 2008 the group took place in the annual Santa Clothes sponsored by local Rotary clubs. This is a special event that lets kids from at-risk schools go 1-on-1 shopping with volunteers. The kids get a budget of $133. The kids are all so grateful and have a blast getting to shop on Rotary's dime. It is a truly humbling experience for everyone who participates.

The last set of wheelchairs was donated to the Salvation Army and Disabled American Vets on the first Friday of December. This was the second time that the club was able to donate wheelchairs to a local Las Vegas organization.
