ALCOR LAUGHLIN CHAPTER NEWSLETTER
SUNDAY DECEMBER 13TH 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Robert Campbell Eric Klien Don Laughlin Jerry Searcy
We had a smaller meeting than normal since our last meeting was held
late in the month and this meeting was held during the holidays'
season.
RENATA'S
Our regular second Sunday meeting will be held at Renata's on January
10th. It will be held at 3 P.M. to accommodate our host's schedule.
Additional information can be found on the flyer attached to this
newsletter.
CLARK COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Don Laughlin was successful in arranging a meeting between Alcor
Laughlin and the Clark County Health Department. On January 25th at
1:30 PM we will be meeting with representatives of this government
agency. This will be a formal meeting and it is very unlikely that
they will allow us to conduct any type of Alcor meeting once our
discussion with them is over. If you wish to attend their address is
625 Shadow Lane, Las Vegas, NV.
H. Jackson Zinn has requested a copy of the Power of Attorney in
Nevada for Healthcare before he attends this meeting. I have
requested a copy from the State Supreme Court Library and expect to
send him a copy of it ASAP.
MERCY AMBULANCE
Tanya L. Jones, the Suspension Services Manager of Alcor, sent me a
copy of her last letter to Mercy Ambulance. In this letter she
requested that Mercy Ambulance follow through on its promise to both
1) provide the information necessary to enter local Alcor members
into Mercy's '911' response computer and 2) affirm that its
paramedics would honor the medic alert bracelets and necktags worn by
our members.
I greatly appreciate Tanya's following up on this matter and hope
that this matter is soon resolved.
FRED & LINDA CHAMBERLAIN
Fred and Linda Chamberlain, the founders of Alcor, have donated a
video tape to our group. The tape title is "Lake Tahoe Life
Extension Festival - 1986, Jerry Leaf, Discussing All Phases of
Cryonic Suspension". Linda said "The tape of Jerry will no doubt be
the kind of thing the transport people in your organization will want
to see again and again. Additionally, there may be times while you
are getting local logistics in place when (perhaps) the local medical
examiner, ambulance people (and so forth) might be an appropriate
audience."
LAS VEGAS MAYOR
The mayor has not provided Cindy with copies of the letters that she
was supposed to have written for us. Although the mayor DID have
time to sell a phone stolen from the government at a yard sale. If
Cindy makes any further progress on this matter I will report it.
PUTIRKA DOG
Cindy was contacted by Mark Volker, an Alcor board member, and he
requested that she show up at the next Alcor board meeting to discuss
the problems with her dog's suspension. The result of this meeting
will be published in our next issue.
PUBLICITY
Thanks to the inquiry list provided to us by Tanya Jones, one new
person attended our last meeting plus two new people were added to
our mailing list. It is expected that since January's meeting will
be our first in Las Vegas since the inquiry list was received that an
additional mailing to the inquiry list will be even more productive.
I'll report on the results of this second mailing in the next issue.
One additional bonus from mailing to this inquiry list is that we
will be featured in the Living section of the Las Vegas Review-
Journal in January. Various local Alcor Nevada members will be
receiving phone calls from this newspaper, except for the ones whom I
know are top secret. In 1992, we were featured in one newspaper
article in the Las Vegas Sun and in two TV news segments, with one of
those segments being aired at least three times during the Olympics.
1993 looks to be an even more productive year publicity-wise since
the Las Vegas Review-Journal is the biggest newspaper in Nevada.
