Nevada's longest running licensed daycare, and the preschool have 
proved to be valued and trusted centers of early education. Since 1972,

Church as the senior pastor. In addition to her service to the people

Police Chaplain, has served on the Boulder City Juvenile Conference 
Committee, was the past president and a current member of the Boulder

  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Rev. Marjorie Kitchell. Her work 
is commendable and I thank her for her dedication and commitment to the 
community and wish her the best in her future endeavors.
