Dear Friend,
Greetings from the Twin City. I hope you are doing well as August is wrapping up.
By now I hope that you have either experienced or heard of the Winston-Salem Ambassadors! Created last December and active ever since, the Ambassadors have made quite a few appearances and had many a conversation. Eight board meetings, two Workshops, one SSO4, two Venture Café sessions, one Results Junkies (major investors) visit and over one hundred and twenty meetings/lunches/coffee conversations have been had with folks all across the City of Arts and Innovation. If there is one thing that we have learned since our inception, it is that a welcoming culture and an open-minded community is greatly desired.
One thing everyone in Winston-Salem agrees is on is that our community is a wonderful place. The thing that excites me the most about our city is its vast potential for growth. In business, in residents, in events , the opportunities are not just possible, but probable. To the Ambassadors, innovation means keeping an open mind and our most valuable asset is you. You, the people of Winston-Salem, our friends and colleagues, are what makes this city such an amazing place to live in, to work in, to play in and to talk about. Thank you for being a part of our first 8 months.
You can play an even bigger role in the next few months. As a federally tax-exempt, brand-new non-profit, whose mission is to increase awareness of Winston-Salem, we are excited to announce our first fundraising campaign. We have entitled this campaign, “Shaping Community Through Relationships,” and we would greatly appreciate your financial support. Enclosed is the information on the campaign and we look forward to working with you for a better today and a brighter tomorrow.
Please remember, when you give to the Ambassadors, you give to the whole city!
Most Gratefully Yours,
Mackenzie Cates-Allen
President, Winston-Salem Ambassadors
