O.V. #57 RC of Las Vegas 1-4-11

I was hosted by President Bill and his wife Rose the night before.  Great dinner and company.  Learned a lot about the club, but even more about the community.  A ton of history in Las Vegas and some of the architecture is very 'period'.  During my early morning jog in 15 degree weather it was like a little time machine the way some of the turn of the century (ie late 18- early 1900) homes are well restored and many are waiting to be.  I also got to meet with the Main Street Las Vegas Committee and learned even more about the historical significance of this community.  

One fact is that Las Vegas has the longest main street in New Mexico (around 1 mile).  New Mexico Highlands University, the State 'Hospital' and the World College were also on my post club meeting tour.  This is another club with great potential ready to be worked out.  Great hospitality from everyone and worthy of a make up.  They have 3 Rotarians with 50 plus years of membership.  Thanks Bill, Rose, and Rotarians for the warm reception.  Go out there and MAKE IT HAPPEN ! ! !
