Unmasking “How to Live Green” Benefits Las Vegas School
Are you looking for some fun, new art to hang on the wall? A lot of local personalities, organizations and even well-known celebrities have created one-of-a-kind decorated masks that can be yours - all to help raise money for a local school. The Innovations International Charter School of Nevada is a bilingual K-12 Clark County school with a creative mind for learning.
Donny & Marie Osmond, Patricia Arquette from CBS’ The Medium, Mayor Oscar Goodman, Disney’s Lion King, Terry Fator, Channel 8’s George Knapp, and even “The Donald” Trump (his mask is made of dollar bills!) are all helping to increase the mind power of the kids over at Innovations. The school’s fundraiser is called “Unmasking the Mind Art Auction & Gala” and it’s this Saturday night at The House of Blues at Mandalay Bay. Tickets are $60 to the event.
Before the event, you have a chance to contribute by bidding on these beautiful, unique and even funky masks created with their own message in mind. My son, Ethan, and I created our mask with the Living Green theme (up top) and naturally - I hope you’ll bid on it! We spent a lot of time on it and it was great fun! Bidding starts at $50 for all masks and the on-line auction is going on now until Wednesday, Oct. 21 at midnight! So sign on and get in a bid. I hear George Knapp’s mask has a hidden camera in it, so be careful where you hang it in the house! Just kidding.

Sherry,
It would be nice if your Lake Mead Water Level graph would show more recent levels. Also, may I suggest that your vertical scale be narrowed from the range of 600 to 1300ft to a range of 1000 to 1300ft which would show the recent declines in water level a lot more dramatically. (The level right now, 22 Oct, 2009, is around 1094 ft above sea level).
For your information, the level is expected to reach down to 1075 ft by 2013 or 2014 which is the next “triggering” level at which the seven Col. Riv. basin states must get together to discuss new water management strategies. (Emergency, emergency ! ! )
