Greetings from Annual Conference! On Monday I gave a quick promo for NTC UWF and then introduced Sally Vonner as our new CEO for United Women in Faith. Instantly everyone stood, clapped and cheered! The "Congrats, Sally!" lunch was really lovely, with many special guests. Thank you, Connie Calhoun-Amox for hosting the lunch. I want to show you all the pictures - but they need to be curated first.

Attending Annual Conference is like a going to a family reunion - there's lots of joy, it's wonderful to see so many friends, and the days are packed!

Wish you were here! More next week!

Wesley-Rankin Summer Camp

Supplies Needed To Help Kids Learn

At B3X Camp students engage with science, math, reading and the arts to prevent the "summer slide," a common concern when students are unable to retain educational objectives after summer vacation. We believe the best way to learn is with hands-on activities that link components learned in classrooms with tangible, experiential projects.

180 B3X campers will receive an individualized and exciting learning experience to reinforce core learning. Help us fulfill the mission of B3X and donate supplies from our Amazon Wishlist.
