Our next Alcor Laughlin meeting will be held in Las Vegas at 1 PM on 
Monday, November 23rd.  We will be meeting at the Mercy Ambulance 
main headquarters.  Their address is 1130 S Martin Luther King Blvd.  
To get there from 95, take 15 south, to the first exit which is the 
Charleston Street exit.  Make a left on the exit onto Martin Luther 
King Blvd.  Go through one intersection and enter their main building 
on your right.  Dress formally since this will be a business meeting 
with the Mercy Ambulance company.  If you get lost call them at 384-
3400.  Don't call their 911 number for directions!

Due to the large amount of people on this mailing list, it's time to 
prune the list again.  The following people will have their 
subscriptions terminated by the next issue unless they either attend 
the next meeting or send a letter saying they wish to remain on our 
mailing list:

                SPECIAL GUEST -- SUE TRIPATHI
                              
Sue Tripathi, from the local NBC affiliate KVBC, attended this 
meeting.  She filmed the entire meeting.  This is the second time 
that Sue has taken time out of her busy schedule to film and 
publicize local Alcor activities.  
                              
The main topic of the meeting was our complaints against the Clark 
County Fire Department for their refusal to honor our bracelets.  The 
earlier promise to circulate a memo throughout the relevant Fire 
Departments was never carried out.  Cindy Putirka's complaints about 
this were aired in two different news segments.  Her complaints about 
the Fire Department were responded to on the air by Mercy Ambulance 
who said that it was their job to do CPR on a patient until they 
reach the hospital who should then act on the bracelet.  Since our 
complaint was with the Fire Department and not Mercy Ambulance, this 
was far from a satisfactory response.  Once our meeting with Mercy 
Ambulance is concluded, we will determine how to handle the Fire 
Department's intransigence.  Legal actions may need to be taken.  
                              
  SPECIAL GUESTS - CARLOS MONDRAGON, TANYA JONES, AND DEREK
                            RYAN.
                              
Alcor's President and two Alcor employees came to present the case 
why Alcor's bracelets should be honored by the fire department.  
Derek Ryan also completed the sign up of four new Alcor Laughlin 
members when the meeting was completed.  Note that no representatives 
of the fire department showed up to present their side of the case.  
The mayor did not attend either but promised to contact the fire 
department about our situation.  An update on the mayor's efforts 
will be included in the next minutes.  
                              
              SPECIAL HOSTESS - DENISE PADGETT
                              
Denise Padgett is the manager at Renata's.  She supplied our hungry 
group with a free buffet.  My stomach wishes all of our meetings were 
at Renata's!  
                              
                       FORMAL MEETING
                              
Please remember that our next meeting at Mercy Ambulance main 
headquarters is a formal business meeting.   No T-shirts please!  
                              
                         PUTIRKA DOG
                              
The Putirka's were quoted one price for getting their dog frozen 
before they brought him to Alcor for suspension and a different price 
after they arrived with their dog.  Since they were first advised by 
Alcor Laughlin on how to solve their problem, they have been able to 
convince Alcor Central to lower the price charged but not down to the 
original price quoted.  The Putirka's now have been advised to speak 
to some of our new board members to rectify this problem.
