BYU Management Society Annual Gala Dinner

Ok, last night Mike and I had a neat opportunity. We attended the BYU Management Society's Annual Gala Dinner. Mike sits on the Executive Board as a representative of the J. Reuben Clark Law Society. In one of the planning meetings for this event Mike volunteered me to photograph the event for them. I accepted, even though I was very nervous. I ended up getting some good shots, so I thought I would share some of them with you. The president of the Society told me that he mostly wanted candid shots, not posed, so I got some of both. It was a wonderful night, and the guest of honor was M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. In the photos below, you will see some (not all by any means) of the many notable people who were in attendance.

Ok, here is a picture of me with Elder Cook.

And me with Elder Ballard.We had a good time, great dinner, delicious dessert and fabulous company. Elder Ballard gave a wonderful talk and coincidentally he talked about blogging. He encouraged us to make our voices heard and take part in discussions about the church wherever they may be.
