BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all
concerned? Kristy Keller joined the Moonridge Group team in December 2016 after a rewarding and successful career with the Clark County School District.

Rotary International has six overlapping areas of focus that help improve the human condition in third world countries. One of the areas of focus is improving local economies. Rotary International focuses on local econo-mies because nearly 800 million people live on less than $1.90 a day. That is less than the cost of a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
Rotary International through the Rotary Foundation strives to strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communi-ties. Rotary International does this by providing training and access to well-paying jobs and financial management institutions. Rotary International selects projects that help individuals overcome obstacles to their success. Rotary projects include bringing solar lights to remote, off-the-grid homes, allowing people to work and learn at night; providing individuals with microloans to allow them to become street vendors, rickshaw drivers, weavers, and tailors; and loaning entrepreneurs in rural communities money to buy livestock or plant crops, or get training in sustainable farming.
The Rotary Foundation spent $9.2 million to grow local economies and reduce poverty last year. Your pledges to the Rotary Foundation helped to make meaningful chang-es to lives around the world.

Rotary International has six overlapping areas of focus that help improve the human condition in third world countries. One of the areas of focus is improving local economies. Rotary International focuses on local econo-mies because nearly 800 million people live on less than $1.90 a day. That is less than the cost of a cup of coffee at Starbucks.
Rotary International through the Rotary Foundation strives to strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communi-ties. Rotary International does this by providing training and access to well-paying jobs and financial management institutions. Rotary International selects projects that help individuals overcome obstacles to their success. Rotary projects include bringing solar lights to remote, off-the-grid homes, allowing people to work and learn at night; providing individuals with microloans to allow them to become street vendors, rickshaw drivers, weavers, and tailors; and loaning entrepreneurs in rural communities money to buy livestock or plant crops, or get training in sustainable farming.
The Rotary Foundation spent $9.2 million to grow local economies and reduce poverty last year. Your pledges to the Rotary Foundation helped to make meaningful chang-es to lives around the world.

The Las Vegas Rotary Club’s Mission:
Kristy KellerNevada Medical Center’s Global
Science of Play Institute
WHAT IS ROTARY?Rotary is a global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to cre-
ate lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and
in ourselves.
THE FOUR-WAY TEST OF THE THINGS
WE THINK, SAY OR DO
1. Is it the TRUTH?2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?3. Will it build GOODWILL and
BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all
concerned? Kristy Keller joined the Moonridge Group team in December 2016 after a rewarding and successful career with the Clark County School District. During her time with the District she was a special education teacher, dean of students, assistant principal, and principal of both a comprehensive middle and high school. Prior to her recent retirement, she was an assistant
superintendent responsible for the supervision of 23 District schools. She has a bachelor’s degree in special education and a master of science degree in educational leadership. As a public servant, Kristy conducted her work as chief child advocate and is inspired to continue exercising her leadership and advocacy skills with the Moonridge Group team especially as it relates to the Nevada Medical Center and the Global Science of Play Institute. Moonridge Group has the good fortune to facilitate the work of the Nevada Medical Center (NMC), a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of and access to healthcare in Nevada. One of the areas of focus within NMC is the Global Science of Play Institute (GSPI) where she is working with the NMC Board of Directors, executive team, and key strategists to raise awareness and educate others on the overall value and benefits of play for all. Kristy has been married to her husband, Greg for over 25 years and enjoys spending time with her four-legged friends and family.
