UPDATE Week of January 13

BLOW WIND BLOW

Before

After

After a couple weeks of holidays and a long, but too short, reorientation advance, it was nice to get back into a routine once again. 

ROUND TABLE was hosted by the Alexanders. We had a great meal of Cottage Pie and homemade Ice Cream sandwiches. Yum! 

We went around sharing our Rose, Bud, Thorns and a great time was had by all. 

Jackson prepares to share during our breakout time.

Greg pulled up a picture just to show how much he's grown...

Classic
LEADER LUNCH was with Chief of Police Catrina Thompson. She did not disappoint. 

The Chief

From her roots in Detroit to finding her way to Winston-Salem, her journey is one of hard work, determination, curiosity, willingness, and favor. What an inspiration. She is an incredible example of the big idea of seamless living that we are working to instill in our Fellows. 

Thank you Chief Thompson!

At this point last year, I didn't even know Reiley yet! Wow! Now I can't imagine life without her. That is the power of recruiting Fellows!
