She and a partner will be treated to a stay at one of the world's most glamorous hotels; a top-drawer show and fine dining in smart restaurants with taste-tempting menus, amid the brilliant sunshine of this cosmopolitan desert oasis.
The contest drew attention and entries from around the world. On Sunday, July 4, Independence Day, we drew the winning entry. Tatiana was one of nearly 500 entrants in the groundbreaking raffle.
The contest truly put The Rotary Club of Las Vegas West on the map, with entries from such exotic places as the French Indian Ocean island of Reunion; Fiji; Botswana and Finland.
It even attracted the attention of Rotary International itself for its daring use of the Internet to spur interest in a project by a Rotary club.
The contest was not restricted to Rotarians. Everyone, everywhere, was invited to enter. But the winner is a Rotarian. Tatiana is a past president of the Rotary Club of Moscow East. The club is named not for its geographical location in the city, but because its members are people who moved to the capital from areas in eastern Russia.
Tatiana was just settling in back home from a trip to Montreal for RI's annual convention when she got her email sent by President-elect Bill Pierce. Now she's planning on heading back across the Atlantic.
The mother of Victoria, 14, Tatiana is representative in Moscow of a German company that imports business gifts and promotional items from Europe and China.
"We've had just 20 years of Rotary in Russia," says Tatiana. “You know that our country was in isolation for many years. Now we are happy to be part of the international Rotarian community."
All proceeds go to help underprivileged children in at-risk schools in Las Vegas and the other humanitarian programs of the club.
Our own Tom Novotny, immediate past governor of District 5300, picked Tatiana's winning ticket from a drum at a club barbecue at the home of President-elect Pierce.
