A big shoutout to Rineharts Church in Richards, MO. On Friday, February 27th, persons served in Bourbon County attended the "A Night to Remember Dance" held by the Rineharts Church. The dance was open to agencies that serve individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities in the area. Everyone had a blast and enjoyed having the opportunity to meet new friends.
