UPDATE Week of April 16

Me and the gang




VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT


Patricia and Tripp Wilson

Tripp and Patricia have been such a gift to the Fellows this year. They have not only hosted Morgan Bonds (this year is the first time in Morgan's life that she has lived apart from her identical twin!), but they have also hosted the Fellows for Round Table a record setting six times!

I get the feeling they actually like having us over.

We certainly love being invited.

Thanks Wilsons for loving us so well. Here is a photo of Morgan and their daughter Louisa on a trip earlier this year to Zootastic!

LEADER LUNCH with THE CHRIS PERRY


Chris hosted us at the Club!

Last year, I missed the opportunity to hear Chris because his Leader Lunch happened while we were on Spring Break. This year, I made sure I did not make the same mistake.

Chris Perry is a leader's leader. An hour and half is not even close to enough time to listen to all his story-weavings.

Thanks Chris - plan on speaking again next year.


SPEAKING OF LEADERSHIP


The Nigel Alston

On Friday, we began our final course of the year - Leadership Essentials with Nigel Alston.

Nigel had us moving from the start:

JP instructing us on intellectual inteligence


Grace instructing us on Action Orientation

Abbey, Morgan and Caleb are our Emotors

Nigel is the best.

He put together this video that encapsulated some of the fun from class one (I teared up watching it - thanks Nigel!)






there is no one better.


HELP OUR SISTER OUT!

Please DO THIS:


SHE IS ON PAGE 2 OF THE WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!
Jessica last spring in the Holy Land

 This is only a little bittersweet. Our beloved Jessica has been accepted for the Masters of Arts Program at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England where she will study Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies.

We are very proud of her, and of course will miss her very very much (and we hope one day she will come back!)

Please help Jessica out and VOTE FOR HER SCHOLARSHIP VIDEO
