The Week That Was...
 |
| Thanks John and Pat |
This week's Round Table was at the beautiful home of John and Pat Gerstmyer. Pat outdid herself with a meal for the ages.
As we started meeting, I asked John and Pat if they wouldn't mind sharing their story. Fifteen minutes later, they had us all in stitches. It was a great teaching moment because one thing I have learned over the years is the power of open ended questions. You really never know what you're going to get!
Thanks John and Pat! You made a great impression.
WELCOME TO THE FELLOWS!

| Welcome, Caleb |
Caleb McKillop comes to us from Chattanooga, Tennessee via Covenant College via Jamaica, where he spent his formative years. He came in Monday to interview and came with me to Round Table at the Gerstmyers. Later that night, he commented that he was really blown away by the community we have been able to establish here. On Thursday, we extended an invitation to him. He accepted an hour later!
As the fourth newest member of the Class of 2018, we are anticipating quite a year two!
Welcome, my friend.

| Griff Shuler and David Daggett |
On Wednesday, we had a fabulous Leader Lunch with David Daggett and Griff Shuler. They are great motivators. David inspired one of our Fellows to wake up two hours early, and an hour earlier than he wanted to, just to get a jumpstart to his Thursday. If I told you which Fellow it was you would know how amazing that is!
These men are true inspirations. If you ever wondered if there was such a thing as a value-driven law practice specializing in personal injury law, I can tell you there is. Thank you David and Griff for taking nearly two hours out of your days to share your warm hospitality and valuable pearls of wisdom with us. You all rock! (Also, special greetings to David Jorgenson who joined us)
Tutoring at G.I.D.E. continues to be a blessing to all.
This week, G.I.D.E. will be moving offices, so we will be helping out in the Rolling Hills Neighborhood on a H.U.D. project. Looking forward to that!
