Happy Holidays to everyone!
Leadership Fort Wayne wishes you all a wonderful holiday! We have enjoyed some great things at Leadership Fort Wayne. Our signature class is working hard on their CAT projects and are bonding as a class, as they are enjoying time together over the holidays. Our YLFW class is a great group of young people who are doing a great job of becoming servant leaders. They read books to the children at Fairfield Elementary in November, and they will enjoy another meeting in January. Our LEAD facilitators were very helpful for our Youth orientation and their retreat. They will be preparing to go to middle schools this spring to spread the word about being leaders in school and the community. Youth as Resources met for the first time this month. We have a great group of youth and adult mentors. The council is made up of some old and new faces – including a few grant recipients. They are looking forward to the Grant Review night on February 17. Our NINA Emerging Leaders program class will begin in January with some great monthyly programs. This program continues to be a great support to the non-profit organizations in our area.
We would also like to thank all of our alumni who took the challenge from our Board president, Clifford Clarke, and gave generously to our organization. A big thank you to all of our sponsors and funders. We couldn’t run five fantastic programs without your continued support. We are looking forward to a fabulous 2010! Once again, Happy Holidays and a prosperous New Year from all of us at LFW!
