I want to send a big “Thank You” to all of the many volunteers who made our first Night to Shine a huge success. There were too many helpers to name individually but I do want to mention our committee leaders: Shannon Brown, Bill Davis, Kelly Smith, Becky Gemelli, Jennifer Breeding, Neal Breeding, Sarah Davidson, Heather Terry, Lori Golden, Carolyn Banks, and Mary Owen. Also, Jean Sanders and Brittany Jackson helped out a ton! Night to Shine was a beautiful, heartwarming event and we hope this is the beginning of a FBC Ruston tradition. Tara Smith Chairman
