News From The Democratic Party

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 09:26:10 -0800

Good morning/afternoon everyone,

We had a very successful weekend in AD13 and SD6. The team got out to walk precincts surrounding Estelle Neal Park in the northern part of the city. In all, 73 people participated. Thanks so much to those of you who braved the heat. I know that Senator Titus (Candidate, CD3), Allison Copening (Candidate, SD6), and Andrew Martin (Candidate, AD13) all appreciate your commitment to getting Dems elected.

This week we have several meetings set for Organizers to meet their Assembly District Leaders. If one has not been set for you, please give me a call.

This weekend, the County Party will be having their “Celebrate America” event and Senator Titus will be hosting house parties in Laughlin, Cal Nev Ari, Searchlight, and attending a Precinct Captain training in Boulder City.

Golden Rainbow Huge Success

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 10:29:41 -0800

22ND ANNUAL RIBBON OF LIFE FUNDRAISING PRODUCTION SHOW IS BIGGEST IN GOLDEN RAINBOW'S HISTORY

2-Day Event Raises More Than $300,000; All Money Stays In Clark County

LAS VEGAS ( June 15, 2008) - This weekend's "Ribbon of Life" production show raised more than $300,000 for Golden Rainbow to support people affected by HIV/AIDS in Clark County. The total was the largest ever raised by the organization from the show.

Golden Rainbow President Carol Hunter said, "We are thrilled and overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude to the Las Vegas community. Here we are, in a down economy, and Las Vegas rallies behind us to raise the most money we ever have. It's staggering, and we are so grateful."

More than 300 performers from nearly every production show in Las Vegas volunteered their time and talent for the production. Stars appearing in the show included John O'Hurley, Miss Nude World Vanna Lace, and George Wallace, who spontaneously donated a $5,000 check during his stand-up performance, which brought the audience to its feet.

Appearing in the show were the casts of Folies Bergere, Jubilee!, La Cage, Le Reve, The Lost Vegas Crew, Mamma Mia, Missy Cochran Entertainment, Mosaic, No Boundaries Dance Company, O, Phantom The Las Vegas Spectacular, Spamalot, Tim Searcy, Tony & Lloyd, Tony & Tina's Wedding and the Hot Flash Hoofers, who traveled from Vancouver, British Columbia, to appear in the show.

The event was staged at Le Théâtre des Arts at Paris Las Vegas, which donated the theater space and multiple other amenities for the production.

All money raised stays in Clark County to support Golden Rainbow's mission to provide permanent housing, direct financial assistance and to fund prevention education programs.

There are more than 8,300 people with HIV/AIDS in Clark County, including 40 new cases that have been reported so far this year.

Thank you to all of our generous supporters!
