Community Service
Derris Hunt

Derris Hunt is a personal trainer who volunteers with the Nevada Center for the Blind.  When he noticed that there weren’t many options available for the blind community to pursue fitness, he wanted to change that.  Derris collected donations for the cause and purchased the needed equipment to build a fitness center for the blind.  Each week he teaches them to use the equipment and has been able to help blind individuals gain confidence and new skills that have changed their lives.

Obviously what is going on in Japan is much bigger than this was back in December, but we all have to do what we can for who we can when we can.  It much more complicated than that.

If you can, go the Red Cross, donate, help out, how you can, today.

Sadly it was a bit chilly to be travelling without a coat, because this would make a nice little promo bit for future years if it didn't have the coat. Miss Nevada with a Red Cross sign at Sunrise Vista Golf Course.
