This weekend, I trained new staff in fundraising in Houston. It was good to get to know some of our new hires. We tried distance teaching, one group in Dallas and one in Houston, with me and one of my staff partners splitting up teaching. It was tricky to teach a group in my room and one over webcam at the same time. Does anyone have experience with meetings like that? I'd love ideas on how to improve.
We have a fundraising banquet in Houston on April 18. Pray that 170 people come, we raise $60,000 in support, and that it's an encouraging celebration for donors, staff, and everyone there. I love the banquet - it's good to catch up with friends and hearing testimonies motivates me to finish the year strong.
Easter was a delightful celebration! The church service was beautiful, the sermon intrigued me, and I ate a ton afterwards. I did well in the Easter egg hunt my family still has for the "kids" (me, Kyle, my brother, and my 2 cousins). In the past, it's been a scavenger hunt with clues to each egg's hiding place. This year was more traditional, with an egg color for each of us, and a few that were fair game for anyone. Our parents enjoy watching us make fools of ourselves. And we do too!
