November Book Club

November 10, 2020


McKenna Property Management has more than a few readers within their staff and for the past few years have been in a monthly office book club. With our team full of bookworms, we want to be able to spread the love of writing to not only our office but our tenants and owners. 

So… Welcome to the McKenna Team Book Club!


Every month when we chose our new book, we will post it here on the blog page, as well as a short McKenna Team Review for the book we just finished reading. 

Without further ado, let’s dive right in!


Last month, we finished The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary, as suggested by Max, our go to realtor. We all agreed that it was a cute love story, that has some amazing characters and some silly sitcom circumstances. We all loved how the author used uncommon words since she is from the UK, like 'mam' instead of 'mom.' The overall vote was a solid 7/10. 


This month we are going to read One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus, which is the first book of two in a series. This was recommended by our Director of First Impressions, Irelynn, and is supposed to be a Breakfast Club meet murder mystery. Our next book club meeting will take place on December 4th to discuss this book and come up with a new one.

 

If you want to be a part of the fun, read the book with us and submit either a quote about what you loved about it, or a question for us to discuss in the group and we will give you a shout out in the next blog post or on our social media pages. Just email your quote or your question to frontdesk@mckennateam.com!

Wagging Tails Rescue: Giving Hope to Homeless Dogs in Las Vegas

June 4, 2025
Nestled in the heart of Las Vegas, Wagging Tails Rescue is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to saving homeless and abandoned dogs from high-kill shelters and owner surrenders. Unlike traditional shelters, Wagging Tails Rescue operates through a network of loving volunteers and foster homes, providing temporary safe havens for dogs — especially pregnant moms and orphaned puppies — until they find their forever families. With no physical facility, the rescue’s strength lies in its community of passionate foster caregivers who nurture these pups with love, care, and attention. Beyond rescuing dogs, Wagging Tails Rescue champions responsible pet ownership through education on spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and proper nutrition. Want to meet some of these adorable dogs and maybe even adopt? Keep an eye on their Instagram @waggingtailsrescuelv for updates on frequent adoption events. From fun puppy yoga sessions to gatherings at Petco and even “Puppies and Pints” at Lovelady Brewery, there are plenty of opportunities to support and connect with this amazing rescue. Every wagging tail tells a story — and at Wagging Tails Rescue, those stories always end with hope and a happy home.
