Rinehart Christian Church and Community Christian Church from Nevada recently hosted an event that gave special love and attention to the area’s special needs people.  It was a night where sweet memories were made.

The “Night to Remember” is an event very like Tim Tebow’s “Night to Shine” that has been going on for a number of years around the country.  This was the 2nd such event that Rinehart has offered, and this time around CCC jumped in to help.

It’s a prom-like event for the special needs people, and not only is there fun dancing and good clean music, there was Bingo played and lots of fun prizes given out, and there was a wonderful meal served.  About 130 special guests were in attendance, and they went away feeling loved and very special.

There were some special services offered too for the guests to enjoy.  Jeanette Hawkins (I heart art with Jeannette) was painting faces.  Kortney Post with Healing Kneads LLC, was giving chair massages.  And Kaylie Leftwich with Fire Esthetics was giving hand massages and scalp massages.

Also, the following businesses in Nevada gave donations to help the night to happen and be extra special:  Conners Auto Repair, DBA Coonrod Construction, Flip Side Salon, Cash’s Quality Electric,, Fyzical Therapy and Balance Centers, Color Confident Boutique, Sonic, Mil-Nevada (Jason Hedges), 54 Veterinary Clinic, 54 Feed and Seed, Buzz’s BBQ and Steakhouse, and Community Outreach.  Thank you to all of these businesses for their very generous donations.
