Thank you to all parents and guardians who allowed their children to participate in the 2008 C.O.T.R. Youth Formal. The evening was filled with fun and laughter. Each of our youth looked absolutely wonderful as they strolled down the red carpet to enter the beautifully decorated room of red, black, silver, and gold. Their manners and behavior were commendable and the hotel staff enjoyed having all of them as well.
Thank you Brother Brandon Latimer for your wonderful dee-jay skills. You volunteered your gift and time, and for that I am truly thankful. You really kept the night "jumping".
A very special thank you goes out to Brother Stephen and Sister Beth Watson, along with Elder Michelle Bordley for the scrumptous meal. You really know how to satisfy the hungry appetites of young people.
And last, but certainly not least, THANK YOU BISHOP PITTS for being such a strong supporter and encourager to the Youth Department. Your prayers, encouraging words, and example are a blessing. We look forward to what lies ahead for our youth.
Please continue to pray for the COTR Youth Department as we go forth in the will of the Lord!
Gratefully Submitted,
Minister Andrea C. Collins
