BCYP Board members Stephen Snedden, Tasha Thomas, Andrea Ohman, and Kevin Estes attended Trivia Tuesday at McDuff's.  While the team that Stephen, Tasha, and Kevin "played" on took second, we had fun!  Unfortunately, the event was bittersweet, as we said goodbye to Andrea Ohman.  Andrea has accepted a position for Harley Davidson in Idaho Falls.  Congratulations Andrea!  You will be missed.
