That evening Sutherland presented three different awards to individuals who embody one or more of the institute’s governing principles.
The Legacy Award went to LaVell and Patti Edwards, for a lifetime of service in promoting faith, family, and freedom. The Family Award was given to Alan and Suzanne Osmond, for their work promoting the natural family. And the religion award went to The Most Reverend John C. Wester, for his work building bridges in Utah's faith communities.
The event was a big success with almost 250 people in attendance. My job before dinner started was to continue pressing the up button to the elevator so we could get people upstairs faster, but while I was doing this I had a chance to greet the guests as well.So, the highlight of the night ... shaking hands and chatting with the Osmond's (including their sons), the Edwards, Bishop Wester, Elder Ballard and several legislators.
I love working at a place that truly believes and strives to make Utah a better place to live, work and to raise a family. It makes me want to go to work everyday!
My co-worker Lisa and I (yep her name is Lisa too... we have two David's and two Lisa's in the office) taking pictures before the volunteers arrived... I think we are looking mighty good.And I even got new shoes for the event... a great purchase indeed!
My cute husband and me at the banquet...he even hurried up from working in American Fork to meet me. I love that he is such a good support in my political endeavors, he has been on my side from multiple galas to presidential debate watch parties to cottage meetings w/ Sutherland. I love him tons!!!
