The Las Vegas Rotary Club’s Mission:

Audrey Damonte & Jim PuzeyHolley Driggs Law Firm

WHAT IS ROTARY?Rotary is a global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to cre-

ate lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and

in ourselves.

THE FOUR-WAY TEST OF THE THINGS

WE THINK, SAY OR DO

1. Is it the TRUTH?2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?3. Will it build GOODWILL and

BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all

concerned?Nevada lawmakers have wrapped up the 80th Session of the Nevada Legislature. How will the decisions made in Carson City impact YOUR business here? What will these actions mean for our LOCAL community we call home? Find out on Thursday, July 18, 12 noon at Lawry’s The Prime Rib when the Las Vegas Rotary welcomes two prominent Nevada attorneys, James W. Puzey, Esq. and Audrey Damonte, Esq., from the law firm of Holley, Driggs, Walch, Fine, Puzey, Stein & Thompson. Mr. Puzey is a shareholder with extensive expertise in commercial litigation, construction law, gaming law, water law, land use, and alternative dispute resolution. He has counseled clients in a full range of commercial and business disputes and has appeared before the Nevada Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Before joining Holley, Driggs, Walch, Fine Wray, Puzey & Thompson law firm, Ms. Damonte served as

Associate General Counsel and Director of Government Relations for more than 10 years with International Game Technology (IGT) and has extensive expertise in government relations, legislative affairs, regulatory licensing and compliance, campaign finance, business law and disputes, and gaming law. Her knowledge has been pivotal in the passage of key legislation in multiple jurisdictions. She also provides counsel for real property, water and agricultural law, wills, trusts and probate matters. Our legal guests will discuss key bills passed in our state’s capitol and how these changes will affect your employees, your operation and your bottom line. This timely overview will include changes stemming from bills passed by the State Senate, State Assembly, and approved by Governor Sisolak, timing implications, and how to make sure your business is in compliance by the effective dates of the new laws. The meeting will be held at Lawry’s The Prime Rib at 4043 Howard Hughes Parkway, Las Vegas, NV 89169. Please visit lasvegasrotary.com for additional details.

Dear Jackie,

Good evening. I am sending this PMail to all members of the Las Vegas Rotary Club. I wanted to send a short note to let you know how much Brenda and I appreciated the visit to your club. I, and Brenda, were over the top impressed with the entire club. The meeting was incredible, the fellowship endearing, and the presenta-tion of so many supporters of The Rotary Foundation inspiring. I loved the birthday table, the singing (country roads - funny story behind that song that I will have to share with you later), and the family members that were present.

Your club is a true leader of clubs across the district and it is such an honor for me to be in your midst. Thank you for all that you do in the local community, for creating a platform for young profes-sionals; and, most importantly, for your energy and commitment to making each year better than the one that preceded it. The District and other clubs could learn a great deal from your club.

Under the leadership of Jackie, I am confident you will continue to excel and blaze new paths. Thank you so so very much for your hospitality and allowing me to be part of such an important day.

Hugs to all

Lu

Our Club was honored to have our District Governor and the Past Rotary International Foundation Chair, Brenda Cressey attend the first meeting of the new Rotary year. We are off to a fabulous start. I can only imagine where we will go from here!

BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all

concerned?Nevada lawmakers have wrapped up the 80th Session of the Nevada Legislature. How will the decisions made in Carson City impact YOUR business here?
