Another Year, Another Charity Event

Last year Jacob and I attended a charity fund raiser for Green Leaf, and we had a wonderful time. This year we were attended our second event. This one was for United Families International (UFI). This organization was put together to help preserve the family. In today's society the family is being broken down my divorce, parents/couples never getting married, and other outside forces. These things are destroying the family unit. We feel the work UFI is doing is very important and we support their effort on trying to preserve the family.
UFI threw this event to try and raise money for the charity. It started off with a silent auction. Jacob and I saw a lot of things we were interested in, but we ended up only bidding on some tickets to the Zoo. I know it sounds silly, but Jacob has wanted to go to the Zoo forever so we thought this would be a good way to get us there. The auction was followed by dinner and speakers. We had a leave the party early to pick up Eli so we only heard a few speakers and we don't know if we won the Zoo tickets, but we did have a wonderful time and I think the night was a success.
