Las Vegas' Summerlin Gets Involved

Summerlin, one of the fastest growing master-planned communities in the country, has decided to get involved within the community! The Women's Club in the area is planning to kick-off their annual Shade Tree Shelter fundraiser function on November 5, 2005 at the JW Marriott Resort.

The event, which will begin at 11:30 a.m., will include everything from a fashion show to entertainment, food, and plenty of fun! A silent auction will also take place, where participants can bid on such items as jewelry and spa packages. All proceeds from the event will go directly toward the Shade Tree Shelter.

Laurie Heggemeir, a Women's Club of Summerlin member, spoke on behalf of the group stating that, "The Shade Tree Shelter is committed to improving the lives of Las Vegas residents who are enduring difficult circumstances. We invite the community, not just members of the club, to support our efforts to serve this deserving and needy organization."

Tom Warden, an executive at the Howard Hughes Corporation, who is one the fundraiser's largest sponsors, said that, "We acknowledge and support the Women's Club of Summerlin for its many philanthropic contributions, not only in our community but throughout the Las Vegas Valley." He was also quoted as saying, "The club is one of the most active groups in Summerlin and continuously strives to improve the lives of the less fortunate."

The Community of Summerlin has many Las Vegas homes, neighborhoods, condos, and land options from which to choose, with pricing beginning from the low $200's. There are several businesses, parks, walking paths, shopping destinations, restaurants, and schools that make up the continually-growing master-planned area.

Tickets for the Shade Tree Shelter event are priced at $75.00 per person and one can either call 702.360.6512, or the Peterson Group at REMAX Associates for more information.
