"I would like to welcome you all to the celebration of Las Vegas Blackjacks Rugby Club 35th Anniversary. I, especially, would like to welcome all of the founding members and Old Boys who came before us that will attend the game. On this particular game day we will pay special tribute to you for being the foundation for which this club was built. What you see before you today is a thriving Club all which is a testament to the hard work and dedication that you all had in your former, ‘Blackjack’ years. We have carried on the unique spirit of the ‘Blackjacks’ in playing this brutal game with great desire and sharing the strong social traditions of this club. 35 years is an astonishing achievement for an organization. It speaks volumes about the individuals who are a part of this club. You all have exhibited incredible individual sacrifice. A lot of blood, sweat, and tears are pored out each week through victory and through adversity. You invest a great amount of personal time and physical effort in training to become better rugby players with the desire to see this Club achieve success. Congratulations to all of you for your athletic accomplishment on the pitch. And to taking what you have learnt from Rugby and the ‘Blackjacks’ into your life. Thank you for your tremendous commitment and dedication to the ‘Blackjacks’ and to the sport of rugby." Keep up the good work.
