Meet our Yerington Office Manager, Richie Conchola

Richie began his recovery journey at RNC nearly seven years ago as a client. After graduating from drug court, he was offered a position as a Peer Recovery Support Specialist (PRSS). Since then, Richie has witnessed and contributed to the growth of RNC into one of the top CCBHCs in the state. Over the years, he has played a key role in shaping our Transitional Living program, managing the Silver Springs office, and is now back home, feeling grateful to manage the Yerington office. Recently, Richie became a certified PRSS Supervisor and has enthusiastically stepped in to support our current Peer team.

Mason Valley Photojournalist Richard Massey shared this for the Pizen Switch Times readers:
"The interior view of St. Mary's of the Mountains in Virginia City. Virginia City is one of my favorite places to take out of town visitors. It is so rich in history and offers unlimited photo opportunities. Of the many outstanding landmarks, St. Mary's of the Mountains is everyone's favorite.

"Built in 1877, it is the oldest continuously operating catholic church in Nevada. Mass is held on Sunday and Wednesday and the church and museum are open every day 10 am to 5 pm."

Registration Open for Youth Basketball!

Basketball season is just around the corner and we're excited to open registration for our annual Youth Basketball League here at the Club. Although located in Yerington, youth from all BGCMV clubhouses and communities can join regardless of membership status. Our league offers the chance to learn the basics of basketball and working as a team, including dribbling, shooting, passing (Triple Threat!) and much more. This is a great league for beginners!

The league runs from November through February and features three age groups. Give your up-and-coming hooper a leg-up to refine their skills and have an awesome time by registering today!

Plus, the Club is thrilled to offer a travel ball program again this year in Silver Springs and Yerington! Open practices in Yerington are from 6-7:30 p.m., with 3rd through 7th grade on Monday and Wednesday, and 8th through 12th grade Tuesday and Thursday.

Finally, it's not too early to start planning for youth summer ball. If interested in joining in Silver Springs for the summer travel ball team next year, please contact Cody von Linsowe at cvonlinsowe@lyoncsd.org.
