ROUND TABLE - Dave and Lisa Meyer have been waiting for the chance to host round table for a long time, but they have had a few things come up this fall like a grandbaby among other things that prevented them from hosting until last week! It was worth the wait. Thank you Dave and Lisa. Of all the people I know who have made home on purpose - you have. Truly, you two are the hosts with the mosts. Thank you!

Robby Dilmore the Christian Car Guy gave us a tour of the station.

| Tucker tried out the massage chair that they keep in studio to help their guests relax before the show |
Stu was great. He is remarkably other-centered. He spent 85% of his talk, talking about others. What an inspiration. Thanks Stu for your model leadership and your passion for the Word and for apple fritters.

RECRUITMENT
Welcome Kelly Martin! Kelly is our newest acceptee! She hails from Maryland and currently is attending Guilford College where she is preparing for a career in physical therapy. She is a captain on her lacrosse team and an achiever in many respects. Welcome Kelly. We are thrilled you are coming to Winston next year!
In other recruiting news: We had an outstanding interview with a gentleman from Clemson yesterday.
This Thursday, we are interviewing a fine gentleman from Chapel Hill. I'm also meeting with another potential candidate earlier that day. We have another interview the following Thursday with a female from Covenant.
I'm aware of a few more applicants coming this way. Thanks for praying! That is the number one strategy for getting the right people on the bus!
So far so good. Keep it up!
