I haven't heard much about Valentine's Day, and usually by now I have an e-mail or two from Sunset Rotary. I'll keep you all informed if I get one soon, but until then, the Mile High Jazz band has a fun evening planned.
There will be singing and dancing the night before Valentine's, so grab your sweetie and head on down to Comma Coffee and take a spin on the dance floor to the wonderful live music.

When you talk about a construction company that donates not only money but also men, you must be talking about Miles Brothers Construction.
Last year, they supplied all the handsome champagne pourers for the Carson City Soroptimist International, "A Night at the Oscars."
Once again, you can enjoy the awards night with all your friends. Thanks to Jennifer from Miles Brothers rounding up the brilliantly talented and nice gentlemen, you can enjoy the Oscars in true Hollywood fashion.
