| Haley gives her first talk of the year at Athletes in Action |
It was a different kind of week for the old director. While the Fellows continued under the capable guidance of Hef with Round Table and Leader Lunch (and class last week) - I was out and about doing other things in the community. It turned out to be almost a week and a half before I was able to rejoin the crew. Friday couldn't come fast enough.
Here are some highlights from their week and mine!
THE WEEK
 |
| Jessica takes in a beautiful sunset |
Round Table was hosted by Bill and Joann Hinman. I was bummed to miss, partly because I love the Hinmans so much, partly because I haven't had a chance to see their new homestead.
 |
| The Fellows are looking younger every day. OH wait. Those are the grandkids |
Reiley took over music (finally). She is so amazing.
Hef led them in a discussion on Henri Nouwen's article from Solitude to Community to Ministry. Once of my faves.
Meanwhile...
Haley and I went to Wake Forest for the Student Athlete Career Night to do a little recruiting.
 |
| look at all those potential employees! |
We had a lot of fun connecting with folks. I really looked up to the volleyball and basketball players. I love everybody but I do a special place in my heart for athletes. Let's pray some athletes to come our way this year!
AIA
Haley specifically asked for not all the Fellows to come to hear her speak Tuesday night - but lucky for me and Brianne, we were able to make the cut.

| The fan club |
Haley did an amazing job speaking about forgiveness and freedom. I was sooooo proud of her! And sooooo honored to be in the crowd.
POLITICAL PLUG
VOTE YES ON THE 1/4 cent sales tax
The 1/4 cent sales tax is earmarked for WSFCS schools. It will give a boost to our recruiting and retention efforts in this city. VOTE YES!
 |
| It makes economic sense |
 |
| It aligns us with the other metropolitan areas of NC |
Dr. Martin and Dr. Hairston and Sharon Woodberry present to Rotary on Tuesday.
LEADER LUNCH
was hosted at Arbor Acres with the CEO Andrew Applegate. Andrew is not only a great leader he is also the mentor to Jackson Wood.

I was super bummed to miss.
While they were enjoying great food and pearls of wisdom, I was serving with Leadership Winston-Salem for Health Care Day.
 |
| Health Care Day |
You may be wondering why Ned would be serving with Leadership Winston-Salem on Health Care Day. I have wondered that as well. The rest of the team was very supportive of me even in my lack of ability to contribute.
A great day was had by all.
A PAWS

RECRUITMENT UPDATE
Applications continue to trickle in. We had a candidate interview on Friday. I hope she liked us as much as we liked her! We have another interview this week and are setting up another as well.
Remember - you are tremendous help! If you know a young man or woman who would benefit from vocational direction, intentional community, and a whole lot of opened doors - please put them in touch with us!

| David will bake you Skittles Cookies |
 |
| The Schapiras are glad their daughter joined us! |
