For a few months now, I have been a part of the NBHD Soccer crew – a local pickup soccer group that aims to bring some fun to local low income neighborhoods. We have been busy establishing who we are, what we want to do, and where we want to be. We all do this for free and therefore, is a lot of work! We all have friends, family, full time jobs, etc.; layering in a growing nonprofit organization is no easy feat.
We started the year by getting together for a weekend and laying down some groundwork.
We spent a good portion of our time hashing out possible events for the year, priorities, assignments, and a game plan for how to proceed in the coming year – good things coming in 2024!
It wasn’t all work of course. We stayed at a friend’s uncle’s lake house in Michigan – great sights, even in January!
If it wasn’t so cold, we would have gone into those lakes!
We also got to bond over some board games (the favorite being The Resistance) and some pool.
On the last day, we woke up to a layer of snow, giving us a beautiful view of the freezing lake, snowy rooftops, white tree tops!
Overall, productive trip and get together with the team. Looking forward to all the great things to come!
