Family Home Evening – NBA Style.

May 8, 2010
A few months ago, the management of the Golden Gate Warriors – the NBA team, had an LDS night, where all LDS families and members could attend a game at the Oracle Stadium at a heavily discounted rate. It turned out to be the largest attendance they have had from any group they had invited in the past!! To show their appreciation, they sent out some free tickets to be distributed to those who could not make it that night.
This is how I became privy to the existence of said tickets. I immediately responded to the open invitation to call and ask for tickets. There were 20 available and figuring I could get some of my friends to go, bravely asked for 10 tickets. No problem! Not wanting them to go to waste & knowing that Brett Napper had a little birthday celebration later that night, I extended the invitation to the organizers of that party and invited the whole group. What better way to celebrate one’s birthday!!!
To my surprise, when I picked up the tickets, the lady handed me all 20 tickets and said, if any one needs it, just leave them at will call. Within a matter of hours, we rounded up 14 of our friends and met at the stadium. Watching what turned out to be one of the best games the Warriors had played in a long time (although true to tradition, they lost in the fourth quarter), we laughed, ate hot dogs, screamed and cheered for the teams, took pictures, and had a grand old time!!!
What an absolutely fun way to have Family Home Evening!!!
