The Las Vegas Rotaract has been busy with a book drive/fund raiser for the 2008 Rotary International Convention in Los Angeles. So far the Rotaractors have been very successful in getting the word out about their club as well as raising funds to get as many books to the convention as possible.
The RI Convention is setting a Guinness World Record for "The World's Largest Book Drive" and the Las Vegas Rotaract has created a book drive to get fellow Rotarians to donate money in order to ensure that as many children as possible will have a new book. The book drive is for ages 6-9 years of age and will be coming from many different languages, countries, and cultures as the convention will be hosting approximately 30,000 people from around the world.
