Weekly Roundup: August 10-16

On Saturday, Greenway Gear Collective volunteers Colin, Jack, and Jeff provided free bike repairs for children preparing to head back to school as part of the first (annual?) Love the City event sponsored by Multiply Church and held at Broughton High School. Children and families that attended were able to pick up backpacks filled with school supplies, get free vision, dental, and other health screenings, and have some fun in the pop-up skate park where the music was pumping. GGC donated a bike that was raffled off to a deserving and appreciative family and stayed busy with a steady stream of repair work throughout the event.

What's happening this week?

08/10 - The Strategy Lab, by CreativeMornings RDU at TBL Cafe

The Strategy Lab, by CreativeMornings RDU, was created as a place to gather and share more in-depth industry knowledge from local business and creative leaders. Each evening event will feature respected business leaders sharing five practical tips or key takeaways that attendees can immediately apply in their own work. This will include lessons from their own journey, strategic decisions that made a meaningful impact, common pitfalls to avoid, building with legacy in mind, and frameworks they rely on when leading and scaling a business.

Lauren and Cameron will talk about their story as a team and as business owners, how they live their lives today and how that has evolved over the past few years, and what they are doing to make the city a better place.

Seating will be limited. Doors open at 5:15 PM. The event starts at 5:30 PM. There is plenty of street parking available, as well as free two-hour parking in the adjacent parking garage.
