Here are photos from our brainstorming session last week for Community Outreach planning 2012. I was super impressed with our team and all the "outside the box" thinking that was going on. Great job to the WSPM Reno, Carson, Dayton, Minden, Fallon & Yerington team! You guys rock! A special thanks to Sharon & Danielle for hosting the luncheon at Southgate, and to Danielle for her creative idea for this year's theme. We had good food and great company. Things seem to be right on track for this year's event that is scheduled for May. - Missi Pollender
