Mitchell's City Council Award

Mitchell was the service project co-chair with his friend Michelle for youth conference this year. They worked really hard on planning it. They met with our councilwoman Lois Tarkanian a few months before youth conference and asked her if their was a project in the city that the youth could tackle. She told them about a park that needed some fixing up. So Mitchell and Michelle headed up the service committee's in our stake and the Red Rock stake to get the job done. The project was huge! The Red Rock kids went and got things prepped on Friday night and our stake went to work on Saturday. (This was back in October!) Well, Lois Tarkanian was just shocked to see all that the youth did! She was so happy! On December 21st She and Mayor Goodman recognized the youth conference chairs and the service committee chairs and several other stake leaders at a city council meeting in December. It was pretty cool. She showed a video of some of the work that was done and gave them all certificate of appreciation. My friend Linda wrote about the service project here.
