AIDS Walk Las Vegas 2006 will be held Sunday, April 23rd beginning at 10:00 a.m. This year will be the 16th Annual AIDS Walk. Sixteen years of recognizing a disease that has grown to be a worldwide pandemic. This year's AIDS Walk begins on 3rd Street in downtown Las Vegas (Between Ogden and Stewart). Individual Walkers and Walk Team numbers have grown significantly, sponsorships by local businesses and organizations continue to increase, and public awareness rises with every walk.

Proceeds benefit Aid for AIDS of Nevada, the oldest and largest AIDS service organization in Nevada. For over 22 years, AFAN has been providing assistance to individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS.

Last year, more than 5,000 people walked raising over $250,000. Over 100 corporate and community teams raised 60% of the total funds collected. Teams represent some of the leading corporations and organizations in Southern Nevada including MGM Mirage, Macy's, Pinnacle Health System, M.A.C Cosmetics, UNLV, Wells Fargo and many more.

We hope you'll be a part of AIDS Walk Las Vegas 2006. Your support will make a difference!

Pandora

http://www.pandora.com/
Probably many of you already know about this, but I am slow on the music streaming thing. Pandora is a cool site a friend just referred to me. You tell it a song or artist you like, and it starts streaming music it thinks you will like based on your tastes. I have been happy with the music it has been playing for me today :)

No Limit Texas Hold 'Em

This past weekend my golf association held a charity No Limit Texas Hold 'Em tournament at Spanish Trails Country Club.


I had never played poker before, but like many have watched it endlessly on FSN, ESPN, USA, Bravo...  I called a friend who is a professional poker player and asked him for a quick lesson last week.


It must have been a good lesson because out of 49 people in the tournament, I came in 9th.  Top 10 won prizes so I got some goodies to take home.


Now you can call it beginner's luck (and you would be right), but I prefer to consider myself a natural.   :)
