Editor:
Another holiday season has come and gone and again I sit in awe at the generosity of our community. The board of directors and the staff at Austin's House would like to take this opportunity to publicly recognize the numerous donors who helped make this a great Christmas for our organization and the children we serve.
Special thanks to the Sierra Nevada Active 20/30 Club, Project Santa and the Crystal Angels for filling some very specific needs. Thank-you to WalMart, Jack and Erin Carreia, the Red Hatters, Tom and Bev Cashen, Century 21, Dr. Norm Samuel, Joe and Tami Stein, Beta Sigma Phi, Marti and Terri, Laureate Omega Chapter, Western Nevada College, the Sally Landis Foundation, PEO Sisterhood, Elma Pullis, the Coleman Trust, Bruce and Nancy Monteith, Kathleen Miller, Syncon Homes, Jane Gill, John and Debra Respess, Immaculate Tattoo, Diane Gordon, Minden Fortnightly, Boris and Christina Sheikman, Joe Flynn, Charles and MaryAnn Voyles, John and Patti Snyder, Chip Bowlby, Costco, Minden Elementary School students, Kevin Flores, Carol Davis, Pauline Ebersold, Mary Beth Carpenter, Scott Sealing and Stripping, Topaz Sagehens, Douglas County University Women and Raechel Prosser.
