President’s Report 

2021 - The Year in Review 

Submitted by Mary Bondmass, Ph.D., RN, CNE 

As 2021 draws to an end and I prepare this report for our membership, I was trying 

to think of one word that might sum up our profession’s and our organization’s 

accomplishments before getting to the details of this report. After much thought, 

I came up with that word, but only when I compared 2020 to the current year. 

While COVID-19 negatively impacted both years beyond most of our imaginations, 

one word continues to resound in my head – that word is resilience. The dictionary 

generally defines the word as the capacity to recover from difficulties, toughness, 

or the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape. I’m not sure about 

Mary Bondmass 

the ‘spring back into shape’ thing, but I agree with the definitions of the capacity to 

recover and toughness. Giving a more people-related definition, the online staff of 

Psychology Today indicates that “resilience is the psychological quality that allows some people to be knocked 

down by the adversities of life and come back at least as strong as before. Rather than letting difficulties, 

traumatic events, or failure overcome them and drain their resolve, highly resilient people find a way to 

change course, emotionally heal, and continue moving toward their goals.” The latter definition fits best for 

our profession in general and NNA in particular during 2021. Therefore, because of your resilience, and as a 

preface to this annual report, I sincerely salute, honor, and thank all NV nurses and student nurses for their 

effort to improve health and healthcare in our state; you are all my heroes and the resilience I have personally 

seen throughout this year has been truly extraordinary. While we mourn those we lost, I wish for you all 

resilience and peace moving forward. 

The mission of the NNA is to promote professional nursing practice through continuing education, community 

service, nursing leadership, and legislative activities to advocate for improved health and high-quality health care 

for citizens of Nevada. Despite the dramatic effect of COVID-19 on us all, the NNA, in collaboration with 

Nevada nurses, continues to improvise and innovate to achieve its mission. Below is a brief recap of the 

NNA’s activities and accomplishments related to our mission during 2021. 

Continuing Education 

The NNA is committed to lifelong learning for nurses and offers many free and discounted continuing 

education (CE) opportunities for NNA members. Non-members may be asked to pay a small fee for offerings 

such as the Bio-terrorism course, but most CEs during 2021 were provided free to members and nonmembers 

alike. Joining our learning center is free and includes access to online learning and other resources. 

In 2021, NNA increased its free CE offerings. This increase is partly due to NNA’s support of our parent 

organization, the American Nurses Association’s (ANA), Health Nurse, Healthy Nation (HNHN) movement. 

The NNA has had several HNHN lunchtime webinars, which have been recorded, and CEs offered at no cost

the treatment of behavioral, mental health care and 

substance abuse treatment is seeking FT/PT/PRN

to all Nevada (NV) nurses. Additionally, the NNA has collaborated with some of NV’s Doctor of Nursing 

Practice (DNP) students to offer presentations of their evidence-translation DNP projects via the NNA 

website, offering CEs, again at no charge to NV nurses. 

More educational activities are in the NNA’s CE development plans, collaborating with other nursing 

organizations within NV. In 2022, we plan to have CE offerings accessible online and just a ‘click’ away via the 

RNFormation publication. Additionally, APRN-specific offerings are also in development. 

Community Service 

Multiple NNA community service opportunities were, and still are, driven by the COVID-19 crisis. For 

example, many of the NNA Board members contributed across the state volunteering at COVID-19 

vaccination Points of Distribution (POD), and NNA continued PPE donations, specifically face-shields and facemasks, 

especially to hard-hit areas across the state. 

In 2021, the NNA also contributed to the community with increased scholarship dollars and other donations 

to the Nevada Nurses Foundation (NNF). The NNF is the philanthropic arm of the NNA; its mission is 

to increase access to quality health care for NV citizens by promoting the professional development of 

nurses through recognition, grants, and scholarships. The NNA’s contributions to NNF add to the continued 

professional progression of the nursing workforce in NV. Among the significant events that NNA contributed 

to were the Big Hat High Tea (Virginia City), the Rural Nurses Symposium (online), and the most recent 

Shining Stars of Nursing in Nevada (SSON) Awards Gala held at the Aliante Hotel and Casino on October 2, 

2021. 

Nursing Leadership 

Consistent with our mission to promote nursing leadership in NV, the NNA continued its mentorship 

program collaborating with the Nevada Nursing Student Association (NVNSA). This mentorship program 

began in 2019 and has flourished through 2020 and 2021. The NNA has a liaison to the NVNSA, who attends 

all Board meetings in an advisory role. Conversely, the NVNSA Board members rotate attendance at the 

NNA’s Board meetings. The NNA liaison additionally collaborated with the NVNSA at the recent SSON 

Student Event, which featured Dr. Ernest Grant, the ANA president, as their keynote speaker. Nursing 

leadership is modeled through this mentorship program and hopefully will result in future NV nurse leaders’ 

succession for the NNA and other nursing organizations in NV. The program’s success was evidenced by a 

past mentee being appointed to an NNA Board position to replace a departing member shortly after her 

official entry into the profession. 

Legislative Activities 

In addition to having an active legislative committee during 2021 (their report is elsewhere in this yearbook), 

the NNA supported many bills during the legislative session. For example, the NNA supported AB327, which 

requires all nurses to receive two hours of cultural competency continuing education for re-licensure, and 

AB442, which requires prescribers to complete two hours of SBIRT continuing education within two years of 

their initial license or by January 1, 2024, for re-licensure; both bills passed. 


13

Nurses Day at the Legislature was a virtual event this year. It was well attended, and multiple legislators, 

including the Governor, provided video greetings saluting NV nurses for their efforts during the pandemic. In 

addition, NNA offered a CE at this event for a presentation by our lobbyists detailing the legislative processes 

and the bills that primarily affect nurses and healthcare. 

During 2021, the NNA also provided educational webinars collaborating with the NV State Board of Nursing 

and the NV Hospital Association focused on the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). The NLC would give a 

multistate license allowing for a multistate license for NV nurses to practice with patients across state lines. 

Unfortunately, despite our efforts, the NLC (AB142) did not pass, nor did it move past the first hearing 

deadline; however, keeping the definition of resilience in mind, we will be back in front of our legislators to 

address the Compact in 2023! 

As reported in a previous edition of the RNFormation, the NNA 

Board, for the organization, stand in solidarity with the ANA’s policy 

resolution on racial justice for communities of color. The image 

below, posted on the NNA’s website, indicates our position. 

Also legislatively and hopefully policy-related, NNA recommended 

Arvin Operario, APRN (NNA State Board member), to serve 

on the Governor’s Commission on Behavioral Health; Governor 

Sisolak recently appointed our colleague to this position. A special 

congratulations to Arvin; nurses on Boards, and especially this Board, dramatically increase our voice to 

improve health and healthcare in NV. 

Last But Not Least 

NNA Membership increased during 2021. Whether this increase is because of or despite COVID-19 is 

undetermined. All NV nurses are welcomed and encouraged to join NNA to promote and protect nursing 

in NV. Moreover, because of our robust membership support, NNA remains fiscally resilient - from nearly 

dissolving in 2005 due to lack of participation and funds to a thriving, financially stable organization of 

professional nurses today. Our NNA financial report as of September 30, 2021, included current assets of 

$296,689.03 with $55,812.76 in checking, $11,891.64 in Savings, $873.58 in PayPal, $75,338.00 in our Money 

Market and a CD valued at $152,773.05. 

On behalf of the NNA Board of Directors and myself, I want to extend a special thank-you to all NV nurses 

for their continued professional efforts to provide quality health care to NV citizens in whatever capacity they 

practice.

NNA Highlights 2020-2021 

When COVID began, NNA purchased what they could to help support nurses. Over 2,200 face shields, cloth 

masks, antibacterial wipes, tote bags, and KN95’s were distributed throughout the state to Nevada nurses. 

The following Continuing Education events occurred during 2020 and 2021: 

• October 2020 - Importance of Religion and Spirituality in the Clinic (45 registered)

NNA’s Environmental Health Committee 


By Committee Chair: 

Bernadette M. Longo, PhD, RN, CNL, PHNA-BC, FAAN 

NNA’s Environmental Health Committee was established in 2013 with goals 

to: (1) educate nurses on ANA's Principles of Environmental Health, (2) inform 

nurses in an unbiased manner on a variety of issues affecting our state as selected 

from national-level initiatives, (3) disseminate knowledge via RNFormation, and (4) 

represent NNA on state/national events or initiatives for environmental health. The 

committee meets quarterly online and is welcoming new members; please contact 

NNA’s Director. 

Topics addressed & activities this year included: 

• For the 3rd year, NNA proclaimed January as “Radon Testing Awareness 

Month” as we continue to partner with Nevada’s Radon Education 

Program. 

• The article Environmental health and the homeless was published in RNFormation. 

Bernadette M. 

Longo 

• The article Sustainable fashion: Moving from disposable fashion consumption to ecological conservation and 

ethical labor practices was published in RNFormation 

• The article Planetary health nursing was published in RNFormation 

• In November 2020, Dr. Longo represented NNA and gave an invited Opening Address before the 

public viewing of “Unbreathable: The Fight for Healthy Air" Webinar, sponsored by the American 

Lung Association Nevada Chapter. 

• In January & July 2021, NNA joined multi-group letters sponsored by the American Lung 

Association of Nevada sent to the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection on air quality 

and climate policy. The letter from many Nevada Health Organizations urged support for Clean Car 

Standards. 

• In April 2021, Dr. Longo was an invited speaker who represented NNA presented “Climate Change 

– the Nurse’s Role.” Health District After Dark Series sponsored by Southern Nevada Health 

District. 

• In May 2021, NNA sponsored and had a team for the 1st Lung Force Walk for Northern Nevada 

(virtual due to the pandemic) sponsored by the American Lung Association of Nevada 

• In September 2021, the committee encouraged NNA members to be prepared for earthquakes and 

register with this year’s ShakeOut Drill.

Nevada 81st Legislative Session 

The 81st Legislative Session began with a call for unity from Assembly Speaker Jason Frierson (D) for the 

sake of the state and its residents during unprecedented times. All eyes were on the state’s budget amid the 

COVID-19 pandemic as the governor’s proposed budget presented cuts across the board. While many of the 

traditional activities on opening day were set aside due to the pandemic, ceremonial celebrations to welcome 

new members and to follow longstanding procedures went ahead – but without the usual gallery of observers. 

Families and lobbyists were not present, and media presence was only a fraction of normal levels. 

While Governor Sisolak’s proposed budget included 2% cuts totaling $500 million, the Legislature restored 

most of the budget cuts, filled vacancies in state government and gave $502 million for k-12 education. 

The Legislature also focused on the COVID-19 recovery, including federal stimulus funding, unemployment 

compensation, eviction procedures and public health supports. Of the federal COVID-19 money, the 

Legislature appropriated $54 million into the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR) 

to upgrade unemployment compensation information systems. SB461 also appropriates federal funding to 

go toward paying back the federal government for unemployment compensation, food insecurity and public 

health services such as behavioral health, substance abuse treatment and data systems. 

Other democratic priorities passed including election reform and a new mining tax. Speaker Frierson passed 

two bills related to election reform. The first changes the state from a presidential caucus to a presidential 

primary; state leaders hope to move Nevada up to be the first state to vote in presidential primaries. The 

second bill permanently expands mail-in voting, which was initially passed during the summer special sessions 

to address voting access in the pandemic. The Legislature also passed a new mining tax on gross revenue; 

the new funding – forecasted at $170M for the upcoming biennium – will go first to the general fund for the 

upcoming biennium and then toward k-12 education starting July 2023. The mining tax was part of a package 

deal that will remove the two ballot initiatives proposed by CCEA, which would have asked voters in the next 

election if they wanted to increase sales and gaming taxes. Additionally, the negotiated deal prevented more 

aggressive ballot questions regarding mining taxes from moving forward.

Priority Legislation 

AB327: Requires all nurses to receive 2 hours of cultural competency CEUs upon initial licensure or licensure 

renewal. 

AB442: Requires prescribers to complete 2 hours of continuing education on the screening, brief intervention 

and referral to treatment (SBIRT) approach to substance use disorder. This is a one-time requirement to be 

completed for licensure renewal or initial licensure by Jan. 1, 2024. 

AB181: Requires health providers or hospitals to report attempted suicides to the Chief Medical Officer. 

Reporting will be completed in a manner similar to opioid overdoses and communicable diseases. 

SB372: Limits the types of burns to be reported to only those caused by an open flame, explosion or flash 

fire; extended the reporting timeline to seven working days after the person is treated; and requires the burn 

reporting to go to Washoe County or Clark County local fire departments or the State Fire Marshall in all 

other counties.

2021 Legislative Committee Report 

The committee is responsible for engaging members in the implementation of resolutions related to health 

policy and advocacy. NNA lobbies for issues that are important to nurses by reviewing and weighing in on 

nursing and healthcare-related bills introduced in state legislatures each session, including but not limited 

to nursing scope of practice and workplace issues. Nevada Nurses Association and the Nevada Legislature 

recognize the invaluable role nurses fulfill every day and are committed to ensuring that nurses have what they 

need at the bedside to provide their courageous work. 

The focus of the Nevada Legislature during the 2021 Legislative session was primarily on COVID-19 support 

for healthcare workers and the financial recovery of our economy. There is much to be done, and nurses are 

an integral part of informing our legislators about what nursing at the bedside is like while caring for patients 

in relation to equipment and supplies and staffing concerns. We need the Legislature to continue to focus 

on rebuilding our health care infrastructure by funding community-based care so that Nevada can continue 

to manage and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and respond to any future national health crises in a 

proactive manner. 

We need nurses to engage in the legislative process to affect positive and lasting change in healthcare at 

both the local and the national levels. The Legislative Committee invites all NNA members to join us in the 

legislative process even if you are not on the committee. We encourage you to contact your legislator(s) and 

provide them with your healthcare expertise and nursing knowledge. Most legislators are part-time and do 

not have a healthcare background. 

They really appreciate their nursing constituents acting as a resource on these healthcare bills. Please see the 

NNA website for details on how to contact your legislator.

Some key points to know and understand about the NNA Legislative Committee and the Nevada Legislature: 

• Nevada has biennial legislative sessions that last from February to June in odd years. 

• NNA does not endorse candidates for office. 

• NNA is a respected authority on legislative issues that affect nursing, our profession, public health, and 

patient care. 

• NNA pays and utilizes a lobbyist firm year-round to guide us and provide direction and strategies for 

our legislative efforts. 

• The Legislative Committee meets monthly throughout the year and weekly when the legislature is in 

session from January to June. 

• The committee meets by teleconference at no additional cost to the members. 

• When the legislature is in session, the Nevada Nurses Association, in conjunction with the legislature, 

hosts a day for the nurses to come to the capitol. For many nurses and students, this is a new 

experience: sitting with their legislator during the session, attending legislative committee hearings, and 

seeing and hearing testimony and presentations from our peers. 

The Legislative Committee welcomes new members and fostering legislative advocacy in all nurses. You can 

make a difference! Please contact us via the information on our NNA’s website.

competent, and compassionate care. 

Since 2014, I have had the privilege and honor of being a co-founder and to 

serve as the president and CEO for the Nevada Nurses Foundation (NNF). 

Awarding scholarships and grants and recognizing individuals and organizations, 

is by far the best part of my role. The NNF proudly reports awarding over $140K in scholarships and grants 

since its fruition in 2014. By the end of 2021, we hope to surpass $160K. With a combined effort from 

nurses throughout Nevada and engaged community members, the NNF has hosted virtual and face-to-face 

fundraising events during the pandemic. The success of the NNF is completely due to the generosity of others. 

I am grateful for the outpouring of support. Thank you to our amazing and dedicated Board, outstanding 

volunteers and donors, and extremely supportive community partners.

Nevada, the gala rotates locations from the south to the north. The Shining Stars of Nursing in Nevada Awards

returning to the Nugget Hotel and Casino inside the Celebrity Showroom.

Forever Stars in Nursing 

Freddy Espinoza 

Las Vegas Valley nurses are mourning the loss of one of their own after a 59- 

year-old nurse practitioner died from COVID-19. Freddy Espinosa died early 

Thursday after nearly a month battling coronavirus. He had worked at several 

hospitals in the Las Vegas Valley. Most recently he was working as a nurse 

practitioner in the ICU at St. Rose Dominican Hospital, Siena campus. “He had a 

passion to help people, and he died doing what he most loved,” said Espinosa’s 

wife, Lydia, 67. “He died in action.” The Espinosas were married 35 years. He 

helped raise Lydia’s three children, Ray, 49, Cindy, 48, and Rudy Sandoval, 47, as 

well their own child, Daniel Espinosa, 32. The couple had nine grandchildren, 

two great-grandchildren and one great-grandchild on the way. 

Brenda Pamplona 

Brenda Pamplona was born on July 29, 1950, 

and passed away on April 29, 2020. 

Yvette Wintermute 

Yvette Wintermute, 47, of Las Vegas, passed away November 13, 2020. She was 

born August 20, 1973 in Pueblo, Colorado, and was a 24-year resident of Nevada. 

Yvette was a loving wife, sister, daughter, aunt and friend to many. She was the 

Chief Nurse (R.N.) with Clark County School District, as well as a labor and delivery 

nurse for multiple hospitals over the last 20+ years. She was a kind, loving, 

supportive soul, with a gentleness that touched many. Yvette’s calming demeanor 

was felt by all and will truly be missed by family, friends, and work colleagues. She 

was a strong advocate for education and healthcare, related to students and 

children. She is survived by her husband of 26 years, Matthew Wintermute and 

her two fur babies, Lola and Hazel.

Margaret Hatton 

On July 27, 2021, friends and family had to say goodbye to 

Margaret Hatton (Reno, Nevada). She was loved and cherished 

by many people. She married John Hatton in Reno in 1944, and 

was married for 54 years until his death in 1998. Following high 

school, Margaret attended the University of Nevada for two years 

until she reached age 18 when she could begin her education to 

become a registered nurse. She completed her nursing education 

in 1941 at Mercy Hospital in Sacramento, California. She returned 

to Reno where she practiced nursing at St. Mary's Hospital for 

many years as a staff nurse, head nurse, and nursing supervisor. In 

1967, she accepted a position as a school nurse with the Washoe County School District 

where she practiced until she retired in 1982. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to 

the Nevada Nurses Foundation: P. O. Box 34047, Reno, NV, 89533-4047. 

Zarina B. Rose 

Zarina B Rose, age 42, of Las Vegas, passed away on Tuesday, February 

9, 2021. Zarina was born December 26, 1978 in the Philippines. As a 

child, she grew up in the Philippines. Zarina was married to Niki Rose 

from December 28, 2018 to the present. Zarina loved studying and 

going to school. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the 

College of Southern Nevada where she was also studying to be a Nurse 

Practitioner. Zarina has worked in gaming and healthcare, as a pit clerk 

at the Mirage, a table games dealer at the Golden Nugget, Mirage and 

Wynn Las Vegas, and a Registered Nurse at Valley Home Health, Promise Home Health, 

Invision Home Health, In-House Home Health and, most recently, at Centennial Hospital. 

Contributions in Zarina's memory are requested to a fund to help toward Zarina's funeral 

and memorial expenses and to support her children and family, or to an organization 

which supports nurses. The family wishes to thank the nursing community, friends and 

family. "God Will Provide"

Jose Maximo 

Jose Maximo or as many knew him as JM was born on 

9-4-1977. He was a great friend, co-worker, father, brother, 

and son. He originally went to college to study law but one 

year before graduating he moved to the United States and 

began a career in healthcare. He was a critical care nurse in a 

trauma ICU and in 2016 came to work for Carson Tahoe 

Health. He was always willing to help wherever needed. He 

picked up extra shifts in the main hospital, floated to LTACH, 

BHS, and even floated to night shift during the Covid 

pandemic when we were so desperate for nurses to cover shifts. He always had a smile 

and was right behind you when you needed help with a patient. The common greeting 

“hey buddy” could always be expected anytime you saw him. Jose was more than a coworker 

to many; he was a true friend and trusted teammate. He will be greatly missed 

not only in Tele but around the organization. 

Greg Peistrup 

Greg Peistrup, MSN, ENP-C, FNP-C, an esteemed and 

beloved Las Vegas emergency nurse practitioner, mentor, 

colleague, and friend, died on September 17, 2020, twelve 

days after testing positive for COVID-19. At the time of his 

passing, Greg worked for Superior Emergency Physicians At 

North Vista Hospital. Greg has been the cornerstone in the 

Las Vegas nursing and health care community for decades, 

having worked at nearly every hospital in the city. Greg gave 

selflessly of his time to students and novices in the nursing 

and in the nursing and nurse practitioner professions, 

serving professions, serving as a preceptor to countless 

Nevada nurses who chose to advance their careers. Working 

with Greg, it was always known that the patients were in the 

very best of hands, and as his colleague that it was going to 

be a good day. His tireless positivity, energy, and humor made every moment with him a joy, 

even under the most stressful of circumstances. Donate to his Endowed Scholarship to ensure 

that Greg's legacy of support and education for Nevada nurses lives on, along with his cherished 

memory. This scholarship honors our memories of Greg and the many people he touched.

Remelinda Tecson 

Remelinda “Dayin” Tecson, R.N., died unexpectedly on 

January 19, 2021 at the age of 57. She was born on May 23, 

1963 in Surigao City, Philippines. She graduated from Velez 

College in Cebu City with a degree in Nursing and immigrated 

to the US in 1983. She worked as a beloved ICU Nurse in 

Chicago, IL for over 30 years before continuing her career in Las Vegas, NV. She had a keen 

ability to make people laugh and worked hard to provide for her family and travel the world as 

much as possible. She is survived by her daughter, Ashley Emmeline. She will also be forever 

remembered by her lifelong friends, extended family, fellow nurses and anyone that had the 

opportunity to know and love her. 

Vianna Thompson 

Vianna was born Vianna Fye in Port 

Huron,Michigan. She met her husband, Bob, in 

1991 on the Osan airbase in South Korea, where 

she was a veterinary technician and cared for 

military police dogs. They bonded over two-step 

dancing and country music. Vianna was a proud 

mother who worked long hours to provide for her 

three sons. In late March, she spent two night 

shifts caring for a co-worker who was suffering 

from Covid-19. Two weeks later, she was lying in an intensive care unit, with a colleague holding 

her hand. She was one of three VA healthcare workers in Reno, Nevada, who died within a 

two-week span from the novel coronavirus. “It’s pretty devastating. It’s surreal. Reno’s not that 

big of a city,” said Robyn Underhill, a night nurse who worked with Thompson. Vianna came to 

work with a cough on March 29 th . ”We were all very concerned,” Underhill said. That shift was 

Thompson’s last. Over the next four days, she wrestled with fever, weakness and shortness of 

breath. The following Thursday, she texted her husband from the bedroom: “Call the 

ambulance, I can hardly breathe.” As a veteran, she qualified for an “honor flight”, in which the 

patient’s body is covered with a black box and wheeled through the hospital while others line 

up and salute. Because of the infectious nature of the coronavirus, a US flag could not be safely 

draped over her body, so a family friend walked in front of her and carried it. Thompson said 

the ceremony drew more people lining the hallways than staff had seen in 20 years.

Erick Christopherson 

September 1993 – April 2020 

With a heavy heart we announce the sudden passing of our 

beloved son, Erick. Erick was born in Reno and considered 

Nevada his home, despite his many travels. After high school 

he volunteered with AmeriCorps enjoying time outdoors doing 

natural resource work across Nevada. He then attended Lewis 

and Clark College where he earned a degree in biology. He had 

backpacked throughout the western U.S. and his love of travel 

led him to Europe, Central America, Africa, and most recently India and Nepal. Erick 

returned to Reno to pursue a career in nursing last fall. He made the Dean's List at Orvis 

School of Nursing and was due to graduate this December. 

Erick's family and friends will miss his gentle hearted spirit, his special gift of awareness, 

his tales of adventure, his compassion and kindness, and his wonderful sense of humor. 

He was talented but humble, driven but liked to have fun. He was a natural musician and 

played guitar, percussion and any other instrument he picked up. Erick could lift anyone's 

spirits and he never judged. He will be forever in our hearts. Erick is survived by his 

parents John and Kathleen, his brother and best friend Kevin, his grandparents, and his 

many aunts, uncles, and cousins. The family was touched to learn that Erick's nursing 

classmates and faculty have established the Erick Christopherson Endowed Legacy 

Scholarship. Donations to this nursing scholarship can be made 

at: https://nvnursesfoundation.org/Donations/erick.php. 

Those we love remain with us 

For love itself lives on 

Cherished memories never fade 

Because one loved is gone 

Those we love can never be 

more than a thought apart 

For as long as there is a memory 

They live on in our heart.

Happy Year of the Nurse in 2020-2021! 

Thank you to all of our healthcare providers, first responders, support staff, and 

their family. We appreciate you and thank you for being a nurse who provides safe, 

competent, and compassionate care. 

The 2020 Big Hat High Tea, although it was virtual, was a huge success! Thank you 

to Kelly Farley, of Farley Photography and NNF Advisory Board member for being 

the backbone to the virtual event! Thank you, Nicki Aaker, Karen Bearer, Mary

our entertainers, Marsh Broeder, Darcy & Frank, Darlene Bujold Salvo, Martin Salvo, Robert Miller, and Sean 

Lacsamana (videographer), Erika Manasewitsch, Shelby Pauletto, and Robert Branda.

On June 26th, 2021, the Big Hat High Tea on the Comstock was held at the infamous Piper’s Opera House in 

Virginia City. Just like 2018 and 2019, the Tea was sold out! 

It was unexpected to hold the Tea in Virginia City at the Piper’s Opera House because we have always held 

the Tea at the Nevada Governor’s Mansion. Because of the restrictions in place due to the pandemic, we had 

to find a new venue. I cannot think of a more fitting place to hold the 7th annual Big Hat High Tea on the 

Comstock!
