This is an annual gala to benefit the YMCA – Fairfax County, which provides a variety of services\u2014from childcare to summer camps to senior services\u2014to residents of Fairfax County, Virginia.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been on the board since 2002 and roll off at the end of this year.\u00a0 We\u2019ve been attending this gala for almost that long and have fond memories of the event.\u00a0 It\u2019s the first black tie event the kids have ever attended (their first one was when they were 9 and 6).\u00a0 It has also helped them to learn about philanthropy (and the etiquette of attending black tie events).
\nThis year\u2019s theme was \u201cFinding the Superhero in Everyone.\u201d\u00a0 As usual, it was a wonderful event.\u00a0 It\u2019s held at the YMCA gym every year, and it\u2019s always fun to see the gym decorated for the gala.\u00a0 (It does also remind me a bit of a high school prom, but I have excellently wonderful memories of my high school prom, so that\u2019s all right.)\u00a0 Oh, and just for the record, I am the shortest person in the family.\u00a0 Heels are the only reason that I\u2019m taller than our daughter in the photo.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42
