It was such a pleasure to see and visit with our friends from the Ventura First Ward. Enough good cannot be said about the lovely people you will see in the pictures below!
Sister Dawn Neal
Dawn is a classy lady. She was our choir director and I was privileged to sing under her direction.
She is a true professional and demands hard work and the best we can do.
Right after Christmas, she had heart surgery and we only saw her once again, and
that was on Mother's Day. Now her health is returning, she is back to church, and
will soon be back to directing the choir again. Lucky 1st Ward!
(Dawn is in her 80s)
Kim Enriquez, Audrina, Ashlynn, Daimein
Mary Ledbetter
Mary makes sure to welcome and speak to anyone new attending the ward.
She volunteered in the Mission Office when it was located in Ventura.
Elder and Sister Blue worked with her there.

Wonderful examples of service and dedication.
He was bishop in 1st Ward for seven years a while back.
