Nanaimo Stake Youth are relatively small in number but that doesn't stop them from doing the seemingly impossible to get together. Our Stake boundaries are more than 440 km from the northern tip of the Island, south to Duncan; 203 km west to Tofino ; east to Powell River (Mainland), an hour and 45 minute ferry ride and hour drive north of Nanaimo.....Even under a snowfall warning we had kids come from Powell River, Port Alberni, Nanaimo & four that came all the way from Port McNiell 236 km north of Courtenay. As a youth growing up in Southern Alberta I could have never conceived driving nearly 3 hours to attend anything, let alone a 3 hour dance. But here it happens often.... The sacrifice of parents, youth and leaders here, is humbling.
It was a Super Hero's theme.... everybody actually dressed up. Twenty-eight kids who know how to party:). The two to one chaperon ratio kept the possibility of shenanigans to a minimum
Even the "loser cruiser" didn't miss out on the action :)
At the end of the night everyone had had a blast and I think us adults all realized one thing, Our kids are indeed SUPER HERO'S!
