A phone call from Brett
Members usually get fined if their phones ring during a club meeting -- but when Bill Pierce's phone rang Tuesday, he got a cheer instead.

On the other end was Brett Grant, making a cheerful call to club members from his rehab room in Las Vegas. That's right, Las Vegas.

Brett came home to Vegas from the City of Hope hospital in Los Angeles last Friday.

He is now under the care of his Las Vegas oncologist and wife Kathy says he is progressing but is still weak.

She thanks everyone for their prayers and support during this trying time.

Kathy says Brett is checking his Facebook account and she encourages people to leave him messages on his wall.

When Brett called the club Tuesday, Bill put the phone on loudspeaker so everyone could hear the weak, but irrepressible voice of our much loved and absent member.

More to the point, Brett could hear the rousing cheer he was given by assembled members.

Let's hope it won't be long before he hears the rousing cheer we will give him when he walks back in through the doors of the Rotary Club of Las Vegas West.
