An Unexpected Opportunity

Hi friends, Happy 4th of July!

Every week is awesome but this week took a late turn into an all new level of awesome. I had the opportunity to talk about #WeLoveCLT on FOX Charlotte. You can watch the segment here. I’m definitely overwhelmed by the support of all of this. Thank you to all of you. Without you this doesn’t exist. You are Charlotte.

So let’s get to it. The “Have You Met?” for the week was Corley May. She is awesome. I also wanted to share something she tweeted earlier this week. Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools is providing free breakfast and lunch to children age 1 to 18 this summer. This is awesome. Read more here.

Our feature Charlotte non-profit of the week is Robert Touchstone of Carolina Raptor Center. He’s awesome. I wish I had had more time to chat with him. Make sure you hit the bottom of the “Have You Supported?”. They have awesome events coming up. Check them out.

The featured photo above comes from Emily Verdonk. I’ve seen a lot of that painted Gold District wall recently. It’s awesome. Thanks for the #WeLoveCLT love and supporting it all. Remember, just use the hashtag on Instagram and each week I’ll pick one featured photo.

To wrap it all up let’s talk takeovers. If you’re interested in taking it over please go to weloveclt.com/adventures, read the guidelines and fill out the form. July is pretty much 100% booked… so awesome! Here’s who did a takeover this past week.

That’s it. Enjoy some fireworks. Be awesome!
