Night Out with a Cause

Dylan does the retirement planning for a local charity called Santa Fe Youth.  Its a great organization and we attend their charity dinner every year to support the cause.  It's a good time. 

They give out community awards to deserving people.  Awards were given to a local football coach, a Dr. who is an ex gang member and also over came the challenges of teen pregnancy, and Jim Jeffcoat, a ex-NFL player who coached the Cowboys after retiring and now coaches at San Diego State.  It's really cool to hear about the paths people take in life and how you really can over come anything no matter how big or small.  I always leave the event wanting to adopt some under privileged kid or at the very least, get more involved in the community.  It's also a good reminder to be so very thankful for the life my parents provided me and the support I always felt from them growing up.  Sad to think there are so many kids out there that don't have that.

We stopped for a quick drink before dinner
