A FEW HIGHLIGHTS FROM LAST WEEK

Winshape Camp
David went to Winshape Camp for the first time. He didn't know anyone who was going. But by the end of Day 1 he told me this was one of the best things he has ever been a part of!!!
Great Job!

EQi 2.0 Certification
This week, I was fortunate enough to get trained and certified in administrating the Emotional Quotient index (the premiere Emotional Intelligence test) on the market.
My instructor was awesome - and I was able to pass the final exam!!! Woo Hoo!!!
On Friday and Saturday we had the chance to celebrate with one of our Host Families as they married off their oldest son Calvin to his high school sweetheart.
Anna Rose was the flower girl!

FINANCE UPDATE
We have started our 2018-19 fiscal year on good footing. Because of all the last minute Host Family and other details, I'm a little behind on sending out invitations to you - the friends of the Fellows - seeking your support this year.
So here are a few options:
1. Give before you are invited.
checks to
WS Fellows
851 W. 5th St.
Winston-Salem, NC 27101
or online
wsfellows.com/give
2. Think about what you are going to give once you are invited.
3. Or just don't think about it until you get the invitation
LOOKING FORWARD
There is lots to do!!!
Did I mention we've got nine days!!!
One highlight this week is a fond farewell to Grace Mezzy who will be moving to San Francisco to continue her design work with Lacy Maxwell Experiential! We are so proud of her!
Also, this Saturday is a citywide Barnabas Center Training. I think spots are still available.
Here is the link
Thanks all!
Keep sharing the story and spreading the love!!!
