Time Out for Women and Girls

Time Out came to Reno! We were blessed to be able to take several of our young women. Bless those who made it possible for so many to go! John Bytheway, Ardeth Kapp, John Hilton III, and Carmen Rasmussen (American Idol) came and presented. Jenny Jordan Frogley, Abe Mills and Carmen Rasmussen performed for us. It was wonderful!!!

Some of my favorite quotes: "A gold medal is a wonderful thing. But if you're not enough without it, you'll never be enough with it." Quoted from Cool Runnings by John Bytheway
