Understanding Obamacare – HELP!!!
Local Las Vegas Attorney Bob Massi put on a seminar Wednesday evening, May 22, 2013 at the Oquendo Center called “Understanding Obamacare”.
Bob Massi, a TV Personality, Author, Spekaer and Legal Analyst for FOX News has been in Las Vegas practicing Law since 1975. He has seen all the changes in Nevada over the years. Obamacare is another change…a HUGE CHANGE!
Love it or HATE it, Obamacare is here and it will effect everyone to some degree or another. There were about 150 people in the audience listening to Robert Massi and one of his insurance associates filter thru the “Obamacare Plan”. (I got to the seminar late and didn’t get his associates name.)

LIFE LESSON #13 – Learned on Mount Kilimanjaro
LIFE LESSON # 13 – FORGIVE and LET GO ASAP!
by Robby LeBlanc
“Forgiveness is me giving up my right to hurt you for hurting me”. –Anonymous
Treking on a Mountain like Kilimanjaro brings with it the opportunity to express one’s best and worst qualities. Las Vegas Guitarist Robby LeBlanc learned some valuable lesson while climbing this bad boy in July 2012.This was a FIRST TIME Kilimanajaro climb for everyone in our group with the exception of Werner Berger and our guides and porters. So it was only natural that nerves and energy levels varied, depending on the what aspect of the climb we were experiencing.
Tempers can run short for anyone when stress levels are pushed and physical and mental boundries are pressed.
For Instance:
On this adventure Werner Berger and our Master Guide Michael Kamilli led our group up Kilimanjaro.We truly had the best of two worlds from a GUIDE standpoint. Read more
Las Vegas Guitarist Robby LeBlanc Climbed Mount Kilimanjaro!
YES, Las Vegas Guitarist Robby LeBlanc Just Climbed Mount Kilimanjaro! A DREAM that started in 2004 while on a cruise in Tahiti has become REAL!
After I saw Werner Berger talk about climbing the Seven Summits of the world in 2004, the idea and DREAM was planted in my soul. “I must climb Mount Kilimanjaro”!
Fast forward to July 2, 2012…I am proud to share I climbed the the second highest point on Mt Kilimanjaro known as High Base Camp.
Every day on Kilimanjaro was adventure and challenge. We had 15 people in our group with Werner Berger. Some were experienced climbers that had scaled Mt Everest while others had some to little experience climbing mountains. I was among those with the least experience.
The first day started with a bang! The night before we had a hard rain fall which made the roads and paths severely muddy. It was so muddy, that the truck had to drop us off 3 miles shorts of the start location! Yes, we had to walk 3 miles in the mud in order to get to our start location. 
This is when things got really intense, FAST…
Ten minutes into our climb, from the actual start location, I got caught in a mud slide of sorts and was fighting to keep my ground. I was reaching and kicking my feet to grab on to something, anything. Then, I fell off a vegitation cliff. At the last second, DAN, one of the guys in our group immediately grabbed me by my shirt collar. I was dangling on a 100 foot drop off!He SAVED my ASS!!!
This is how the climb started for me!
My primary goal was to finally meet Mount Kilimanjaro headon and finally try to climb that bad boy to the best of my ability. I am THRILLED with my accomplishment. Secondly, I wanted to bring awareness and raise money for Vegas PBS Keeping Kids Fit Program to fight obesity! This is just getting started! it was ZERO degrees when I was holding up that PBS banner!
Over the coming weeks I’ll share more about the journey but just wanted everyone to know I home safe!
I Want To THANK ALL of You For Your Love, Support and Encouragement on This Adventure!
Specifically My Sponsors!
Sincerely,
Robby LeBlanc, The Publisher of LasVegasNewsBlog.com
PS – I will probably be doing a local Las Vegas Presentation about this adventure in the next few weeks. Let me know if you’d like to be invited…

Las Vegas Guitarist To Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro:To Fight Obesity and Diabetes.
Las Vegas Guitarist Robby LeBlanc will climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa in June 2012 to bring awareness to the epidemic of Obesity and Diabetes.
Las Vegas, Nevada – May 21, 2012 – In November of 2004 while on a cruise in Tahiti, Las Vegas Guitarist Robby LeBlanc, had the opportunity to hear Visionary Mountain Climber Werner Berger talk about climbing the Seven Summits of the world. At the time Werner was 68 years old. The next day Robby asked Werner; “If I lose 100 pounds could I climb Mt Kilimanjaro? At the time Robby weighed 360 pounds. Werner responded, “If you lose 100 pounds, I’ll go with you young man. “ Werner called Robby for 5 years and for 5 years Robby had to say “NO, I haven’t lost the weight”. Robby hadn’t talked to Werner in almost 2 years and then 6 months ago Werner calls Robby and asks; “Robby I heard you just did 13 miles in a half marathon. Is that true?” I said “YES, Werner, it’s true and I’m about to do another one this weekend. “ Werner then asked; “Robby, when are we going to Mt Kilimanjaro?’. We set the date to meet in Tanzania Africa June 17, 2012. Read more
