Newkirk’s Notes - comments on Las Vegas from AccessVegas.Com publisher Ted Newkirk:
Hello from Las Vegas! We know you are stuffed with Turkey, saw plenty or football and/or are out shopping your brains out the day after Thanksgiving (US). We’ll keep this issue short but it is perhaps our most important issue of the year.
For another year we are proud to be involved in David Berman’s Shade Tree Las Vegas Calendars event. This is a win-win that I encourage each and every reader to take part in: You get a beautiful 2004 Las Vegas calendar at a wholesale price with all proceeds going to Shade Tree Shelter, a shelter for woman and children.
David Berman is a retired attorney who moved to Las Vegas a few years ago from New England and he donates 100% of his time and effort. We’ll skip news and feedback this week so we can focus on this worthy cause. You get to help Shade Tree while lighting up the homes of yourself, friends, and family with Las Vegas for the next year!
New Year’s Eve - Next week, our big New Year’s Eve Las Vegas preview, but if you are thinking of going, don’t wait! Rooms get more scarce and expensive as December rolls around. This year will be the biggest ever: 13 minutes of fireworks shot from numerous hotels running the entire four miles of the Las Vegas Strip.
We are the only company with a complete special site dedicated to our first-hand experience of Las Vegas New Year’s Eve every year. Hotel tips, party tips, general tips, massive photo gallery, streaming videos of past fireworks and revelers …
We help you get the best deal, know what to do, where to be and what to expect to maximize the biggest party of the year! Click To …

Las Vegas Calendars Shade Tree Shelter Benefit
We are pleased to announce David Berman’s ninth annual sale of Las Vegas calendars, with all profits to benefit The Shade Tree, which provides shelter and support services to homeless and battered women and their children in the Las Vegas area. (Click Here to jump to the sample photos)
These are the same calendars sold in Las Vegas hotels and gift shops. Our buyers through the years, more than half of whom are repeat customers, know that they are an inexpensive and well-received holiday gift for friends and co-workers, as well as excellent stocking-stuffers for their loved ones.
Each year of the project has produced record sales and donations. Sales exceeded 2,000 calendars last year for the first time ever, with 349 customers purchasing 2,016 calendars and raising $3,735 for Shade Tree.
At the request of Shade Tree, this will be the third straight year that sale profits will be applied to the purchase of discount bus tokens, which allow clients of non-profit organizations to use the local bus system for only 40 cents per ride. This unfunded item is critical in enabling Shade Tree clients to travel to job interviews, medical appointments, counseling sessions and classes.
Calendar pricing is unchanged from last year:
Orders of one or two calendars: $5.00 per calendar.
Orders of three or more calendars: $4.50 U.S. per calendar.
Prices include shipping and Shade Tree donation.
If you are in the Las Vegas area as a visitor or resident, personal delivery or pickup is available for just $3.00 per calendar.
The above prices are for payments in U.S. funds for orders shipped to U.S. addresses. Foreign buyers should e-mail for price on orders shipped to their countries.
If you operate a business and would like to give these calendars to your clients as gifts, attractive pricing on bulk orders is available.
By popular demand, PayPal is now available as a payment option.
The Shade Tree portion of all purchases is tax-deductible, and each buyer will be advised of the amount of deduction that can be claimed.
For detailed ordering instructions, please e-mail David: davidinlv@cox.net

We’re also pleased to tell you that David and his wife Rosalyn were honored for their work on behalf of the shelter with a 2003 Community Partnership Award at Shade Tree’s annual Stars Luncheon on October 17. Other award winners included Fitzgerald’s Hotel-Casino, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Perini Building Company, the MGM Mirage Voice Foundation, and the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation.

Magician Rick Thomas just celebrated six years of wowing crowds with his afternoon show at The Tropicana. I’ve seen the show before and this great show just gets better with age.
