Young Women In Excellence

Sweet Shellie and her Personal Progress items she displayed for Young Women In Excellence night.  She had her quilt and her cookbook binder.  She is a beautiful young woman. She is on track to earn her medalion next spring just before she turns 16. We are very proud of her!

Stake Service Project

Shellie and Julie volunteered for the El Dorado Stake service project on Saturday 11/5.  They pulled weeds and cleaned the grounds around the south entrance of the Veterans Memorial Cemetary in Boulder City.  Very hard but rewarding. The place looked amazing after all the volunteers left 3+ hours later.

Dixie is funny!

Happy Halloween!!
