MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER

Welcome to the month of October. It blows my mind how fast this year is passing. We have made great strides this year and I feel like we are going to continue to do great things. We have experienced great loss in our community this year and my thoughts and prayers are with each family member and friend that has been affected by the loss of a loved one.

We were fortunate enough to have Mr. Ray Kinsland�s kind spirit and witty sense of humor on this earth for 84 years. He put his heart and soul into this organization, and I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to serve this organization in the capacity that I do. As the days and weeks pass, I like to
reflect on how far the Boys Club has come since day one. I�ve listened to the many stories that my dad has told me of the old days and how no one even wanted to help us get school buses. He told me Dodge finally told them they would help but they had to travel quite a distance to get them. I�ve learned so much each day and I know I will continue to learn more as the days pass. I thank each one of you for your hard work and dedication. Please let me know if you need anything.
� Greg Owle, General Manager

REQUEST FROM THE CHILDCARE DEPARTMENT

The childcare department needs magazine donations such as Southern Living, People, outdoor sports and any local magazine or catalogs especially with local buildings or places near us. The teachers cut the pictures out and put them at eye level for the children. This will be a huge help for the star rating assessments that are coming up soon. You may drop your magazine donations off at the main building of Agelink between the hours of 7:30 am � 4:30 pm Monday � Friday.

AISES LEADERSHIP SUMMIT CAME TO CHEROKEE

The 2019 AISES Leadership Summit was recently hosted by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and was held at Harrah�s Cherokee Casino & Resort for the first time in their forty-two-year history. During
the AISES Leadership Summit thirteen different sessions were conducted by EBCI professional divisions of the tribe making a powerful presence on behalf of the community. AISES has recently encouraged tribal communities to form chapters to strengthen and support their mission as tribal STEM professionals are vital for future sustainability. Several tribal entities sponsored the event. Alicia Jacobs, Jones- Bowman Leadership Award Program leadership specialist and AISES Board of Directors said, “The
AISES Leadership Summit held in Cherokee, NC was an extraordinary example of how a tribal community is committed to the future of their people and sustainability of their workforce.�

Alicia Jacobs was the Jones Bowman Leadership Specialist at the Ray Kinsland Leadership Institute for nearly 10 years before accepting another job in Colorado earlier this year. She played a very important role in making this summit happen.
