Whether you were blessed in July or October of 1982, your Silver Anniversary is fast approaching -- 25 years of commitment and dedication to the ideals of our True Parents. You deserve to celebrate!

The Blessed Family Association is pleased to announce the raffle of two free tickets to the Alaska Silver Anniversary Cruise for one lucky couple! Couples can be nominated by their friends, spiritual parents, children, etc. Many wonderful couples would love to celebrate on the cruise but are hesitant due to financial considerations. To recommend a couple for the raffle, please email the name of the couple and the reason for your recommendation to the BFA. The lucky winners will be drawn from all nominations received through April 1, so get in your nominations NOW!

The cruise is a 7-day excursion to Alaska leaving from Seattle on June 30, traveling through the famous "Inside Passage". Five wonderful shore stops include beautiful Vancouver, Canada, and the famous fjords where quickly-disappearing glaciers are dramatically calving (Yes, "calving" like cows being born, not "caving") into the water. The Day of God's Eternal Blessing, July 1, will be celebrated at sea with a special renewal of vows ceremony.

It is not too late to sign up for the Blessed Family Association Silver Anniversary Cruise for those who do not win the raffle! To find out more and to register for free membership in the BFA, log on to the BFA website at www.blessedfamilies.org.
