Thank you to all who attended last nights community dinner. It was a wonderful evening of remembrance of Bert Finney. It was filled with good memories, great food and a much needed sense of deep community involvement. Thank you to the Mono County leaders that attended to witness the cohesiveness of our Benton and Tri Valley with the Fire Department. The message of the evening was, “It only takes one person to touch the lives of many, Be That Person”. Thank you Bert Finney and the many people past and present that “Have been that Person”
