UPDATE Week of October 28

NO BUTTS ABOUT IT...

Last night under the cover of darkness - we did some vigilante love downtown and picked up over 1,000 cigarette butts at the Winston-Salem Bus Terminal

WE ARE ROLLING

On Friday after class, the Fellows helped paint the new City with Dwellings building (top floor of Douglas Battery) Last time I was there, I was with Adventure Guides and we had an urban nerf gun war (we found several pieces of evidence! Ha!!!)

THE WEEK THAT WAS


Monday Round Table at John and Mary Spangler's (and Tim's)

Tim and JM
We had an awesome time Monday with the Spanglers. I love how they jump right in and become part of the crew. 


Hef and two girls praying on the porch

Leader Lunch with Steve Lineberger at Winston-Starts

Steve rocked it

Steve is a Fellows exemplar. I love what ain't easy - simple. So thankful for him. 


Too Much Ned - Steve and I saw each other almost every day this week! Ha! At Jack Larson's (un-birthday party), at Leader Lunch, at Village Juice, and at 500 W. 5th's Ribbon Cutting. Ha! It might have been too much Ned - but it sure wasn't too much Steve. Love this guy!

Charleston

At the crack of dawn, I dropped off my sweet girl for the 7th Grade Charleston trip
That night, I went to Camp Hanes for the YMCA Board Retreat. I learned one thing - if I go hunting with a bow and arrow - it better be for elephants! Ha!

SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE!!!!

natural reaction
We found out Bailey Yerby said YES TO US! Woo Hoo - first Fellow of the 2020-21 Class!!! And I already know it is going to be a great year!!!!!!


LIGHTS ON AFTERSCHOOL!


Three Fellows went to the Winston Lake YMCA to help out with national after school program day 

Q COMMONS

Others headed downtown to Venture Cafe to take part in the Q Conference hosted by former Board Member Stephen Edwards. That guy is everywhere

HOST FAMILY DESSERT

Shannon, Virginia, Mary and Ashby
What a fun night we had with our Host Families at Shannon Rainey (who hosted a day after knee surgery!) 

We left truly encouraged by this group of amazing individuals. Thank you Host Families! You are the secret sauce to what makes this program great! We love you!!!!


CITY WITH DWELLINGS

Angie Kistemaker hounded me enough (and baited me with lunch) to get us to help paint the new City with Dwellings hub that Douglas Battery has opened to the city. (What a gift!)


Old man Jackson - graying right before our eyes!
Rolling
Everyone wanted selfies!
Hannah and Jessica knocking out some walls
Double time - Jessica wasn't messing around

Renaissance Haley - we thought she looked like a painting while she was painting!

MUSIC CITY
Kyle and Rocko were super funny

Listening party downtown
