UPDATE Week of December 24

A WONDERFUL WEEK OF CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION

Andrew is hanging out at work

MONDAY - CELEBRATION #1 - THE WS FELLOWS CHRISTMAS PARTY

Fellows alumni Ashley Trewhella and Shannon Rainey, my right hand woman

We had a wonderful Christmas gathering at the "new" 500 West 5th. Building Monday night. We are on the third floor which is where all five institutes of higher learning plus Forsyth Country Day School have their centers for entrepreneurship. 

I thought it an appropriate place to meet as we are technically a start up. Though you wouldn't know it with all the support we have gotten. 

Fellows young and old

Bryan's biological mother and host family mother

TUESDAY - CELEBRATION #2 - HAND IN HAND 

I did my best to blend in
Every year the Clemmons Rotary puts on this amazing event in Clemmons. It starts at Agape Faith Church where they bus in all these kids and feed them and play games and then give away a ton of toys then take them to the Tanglewood Festival of Lights. It's big time. We were just glad to be there to feel the vibe!

This is an amazing thing to watch. 
WEDNESDAY - CELEBRATION # 3 - FELLOWS LOVE FEAST

Silent Night Holy Night

One of my favorite things about Winston-Salem is the tradition of our Moravian founders in celebrating the Love Feast. 

What fun to share it with these men and women whom I love so much. 

Thanks Beth for hosting us

Creamy Coffee and Hawaiian Rolls going around
