PICKING THE WINNER:
Immediate Past Dist. Gov. Tom Novotny reaches in to grab a winner as
President-elect Bill Pierce lends a hand. Tom, an esteemed member of
our club, drew the winning ticket July 4 at a club Independence Day
barbecue at Pierce’s home.
When Tatiana Vinda of Moscow got an email from America telling her
she'd won a VIP trip to Las Vegas, she first thought it was some kind
of joke.
Russians play practical jokes on each
other on April Fool's Day just as we
do in the United States, but Tatiana didn't know if we
did it on the same day.
Maybe, she thought, Americans have a
July Fool's Day on the Fourth of July.
She knows better now. She's busy
planning her trip to Vegas.
Tatiana is the winner of the mammoth
It's Vegas, Baby Internet-based global raffle from The Rotary Club of
Las Vegas West.
"I’m absolutely happy to have a chance
to visit Las Vegas. I think this city is one of the miracles of the
world created by the hands of people," says Tatiana.
"Also I've never stayed in a five-star
hotel and never traveled by limousine."
As winner, Tatiana earns a four-day,
expenses paid trip to the entertainment capital of the world, including
round-trip air fare.

AND THE WINNER IS: Tom
shows off Tatiana’s winning ticket. All entries were by email. But each
was allotted a ticket number and tickets were then placed in the drum.
