Love is in the Air!

 We had a great turnout for our 5th Annual Legacy of Love Banquet.

February is traditionally celebrated as Healthy Marriage Month throughout our nation as a way to acknowledge the importance of the commitment that marriage represents in forming the foundation of healthy communities, healthy children, and healthy families.

  On the evening of February 23rd TOP honored seven couples that exemplified healthy marriages.

There were many submissions for this prestigious honor. Nominations by family members or friends consisted of answering questions and a short essay on why that particular couple should be honored.

  The couples that were selected shared their stories of how they met, their hardships, and some of their fondest memories from their journey through marriage.

The way they portray love to each other and the family and friends that surround them speaks for itself of why they were chosen for their display of what healthy marriages should looks like.


 Here are the honored couples for 2012:

Mr. & Mrs. Alexander

Mr. & Mrs. Clements

Mr. & Mrs. Holmes

Mr. & Mrs. Lyles

Mr. & Mrs. Magnen

Mr. & Mrs. Watts

Mr. & Mrs. Williams

A BIG thank you from everyone at Tuscaloosa's One Place to everyone who made this evening a success. We couldn't have done it without you!

Doing What Matters

On January 31, 2012 we hosted the "Doing What Matters for Tuscaloosa's Children" conference. We had a record number of over 300 participants and feel that the conference was a great success! We had a number of speakers who shared with participants about a variety of things ranging from teen issues, bullying and social media, finances, immigration issues, and several others. It was a wonderful day and we are so grateful to all those who participated!

Here are a few pictures from the event:


We would like to give a special thanks to all those who made this event possible including our speakers, exhibitors, sponsors, and planning committee. Also, thank you to Central High School ROTC for presenting the colors. This even would not have been possible without all of you!
