Like everywhere else, the number of Witnesses continues to
increase in Las Vegas, and along with the increase comes the need for new
Kingdom Halls as well as renovating the existing Halls.
Everybody does their part and recently the Silverado congregation
received the assignment to provide lunch for the construction crew. This
Kingdom Hall is in Henderson, NV, just adjacent to Las Vegas and was built
about 25 years ago. With three congregations meeting there (2 English & 1 Spanish),
it receives a lot of use and was starting to show some wear and tear.
So the Regional Building Committee decided the best thing to
do was just gut the entire building and do a complete renovation. Of course, like
all of our building projects, everything is done with volunteer labor.
We fed the crew hot dogs and hamburgers, and everyone seemed
to enjoy it. The photos tell the story.

We went to the memorial here back in 2002 - We got the directions mixed up as we were on our way back to Australia and came in on the tail end of the memorial but was assured of another in 20 minutes - and sure enough but it was in Spanish! Ahhh memories!
