The Week
Monday: we had Round Table at Bill and Myrtie Davis' home
 |
| They had the china and silver out for us! |
Myrtie led us in a great time of reflection and sharing. Then, after dinner we had our weekly business meeting then worshipped and read through the Passion. A great night was had by all.
 |
| The only down side of eating at the Davis is the after dinner food coma. |
Tuesday: A series of meetings, one of which was with the Career Service team at Winston-Salem State University.
 |
| Val Grant keeps my friend Anthony Graham in check. Not an easy job! |
Wednesday: Leader Lunch with Bryan Dooley!
 |
| Bryan and his partner in crime David |
This year, Leadership Winston-Salem has started a new mentoring program. I was honored to be a part of it. I didn't know how honored until I found out whom I was being partnered with.
I should put "mentoring" in quotes because I'm not sure who is mentoring whom. Bryan has become a great friend. I am inspired by his faith and determination to speak for a population that too often is overlooked.
As Bryan reminded us on Wednesday, there are attributes of God that we will not get to know unless we allow our friends with disabilities help teach those things to us.
Hear! Hear!
Thanks Bryan.

| What a beautiful group |
Thursday: Another series of meetings, one in particular with John Hawkins, Todd McShay and Tim Safley - three of the staff of Leadership Edge.
This has become a key component of what's going on in the Triangle. I'm excited to help these guys explore ways to help us impact the Triad. Stay Tuned!
Friday:
 |
| Appreciation day with Nigel Alston |
Class One was with Gardner Barrier who gave us a crash course in Personal Finance and Budgeting. There was a little bit of deer in the headlights going on. But what a gift to learn these things in your early twenties!!!
Class Two was with Nigel Alston, where we learned the proper way of sharing and receiving words of appreciation and wrote a letter to someone we admired.

RECRUITMENT NEWS!
 |
| Welcome Greg! |
We are excited to welcome one of Winston-Salem's own, Greg McClinton, to join us next year as one of our Winston-Salem Fellows.
Greg is a graduate of Old Dominion University. As you can see in the picture he also attended Wake Forest. Greg is a thoughtful, purpose-driven man, who I am confident is going to not only add some height to our Fellows but also a lot of maturity.
Welcome Greg!
Also, Congrats to Audra Beth!

| student of the week at Clemson! |
Keep up the recruiting guys!
We only have a few spaces remaining. So let's get the right people on the bus.
Please share the story and spread the love!!!

GIVE
Thank you for supporting the Fellows in so many ways.
One way that would really help is if you supported us financially. We have a budget of $150,000 and while most of it is covered by tuition and the generous support of churches, we need people like you to help us make up the difference.
Would you please, consider contributing to the mission.
