A local Sioux Falls couple was on the Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday. What an incredible story of giving! Tim and Nancy Nicolais are the owners of the Arena Motel on Russell Ave. They often give rooms away at greatly reduced rates or even free for those in need. What a heart warming story and a loving reminder to look around and see how each one of us can make a difference. If you would like to donate here’s their website.  www.arenamotelsf.com
