Deans Place is proud to give back to the community in several ways. One of the ways Deans Place is supporting Las Vegas and the surrounding area is through Rotary. Rotary is the oldest service organization in the world, starting in 1905 in Illinois, USA.
Being a charter member of Las Vegas WON Rotary Club, this 501c3 charity service organization is a leader in helping those less fortunate. See at the bottom of this page some of the great programs members of our club proudly participate to make Las Vegas a better city for all.
Las Vegas WON Rotary Club, was Chartered on April 8, 2016 with 125 members. Since 1905, the year Rotary was created, Las Vegas WON Rotary Club outperformed all 37,000+ previously chartered Rotary clubs in the 112-year-old Rotary history with a starting membership of 125.
For clarification, the word WON stands for “WHERE OPPORTUNITY NETWORKS.” The Club objective was to build a new, revolutionary type Rotary Club which fits with the needs of the 21st century.
By creating a new style Rotary Club which has been adopted by the other 37,000+ clubs worldwide, the sky is the limit to help others in more efficient, 21st century versions.
Even though this Rotary Club is somewhat new compared to other Rotary Clubs, we have been able to create many projects which help thousands of people throughout the Las Vegas area. The Las Vegas WON Rotary Club major projects are listed below.
EHIV – End Hunger in Vegas (meals provided to more than 100,000)
Virtual Toy Drive
Reed – Cuban Assistance Program
Airmen night out, 500 free baseball tickets
CC Ronnow Elementary School
Computers to Schools
DG Randy Pote Slipper Drive
