National Philanthropy Day

December 4th was National Philanthropy Day. Here in Salt Lake there was a big luncheon where several people were honored with awards for their contributions, volunteer efforts, etc. Troy and I were invited by Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company to attend the luncheon and they gave us a Heart and Hands Award. We felt very honored! We were a little embarrassed that we had to walk up in front of the whole room, but luckily all the honorees were walking up at once so we didn't feel quite so singled out. Haha! Troy and I both like to be a little more in the background, but at the same time we felt that it was very sweet of them to honor us with this award. Thank you Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company!

Here we are at the luncheon... And here we are with some of the key members of the company - Joan Woodbury (Founder, Choreographer and Artistic Director for many years), Troy, Jen, Teresa Bok (from the Board of Trustees), and David Pace (the Director of Development). We have really enjoyed getting to know all of these people and more... we really feel like part of the RWDC Family!
