5 Points of Connection


This has been a very active month to say the least. This past weekend I participated in a roundtable discussion for community leaders that focused on strengthening the local community. I was honored to be in the room with distinguished leaders such as Representative William L. Wainwright, Congressman G.K. Butterfield, Aldermen, City Council members and many others. When I took the microphone to speak, I told the assembly of the work that CL King Group is doing.

I let the leaders know of my desire and passion to put action with my words… consequently I have been speaking in schools and community centers across Eastern NC to challenge this next generation to take control of their life, and make good life choices.
Just today, we presented, "The Choice Is Theirs" to a wonderful group of K-5 students at Stepping Stones School. While there, I challenged these young minds to look past the years of Nintendo Wii and I Phone text messaging, and told them to look at what is on the horizon for them in the coming decade. At the conclusion of our presentation, students signed a “Choice Contract” that committed them to elevating their efforts towards success.

I look forward to revisiting these students in the coming weeks and stimulating more choice that is positive.
Next month I will be speaking with the Young Marines and their families about establishing a goal, nurturing it and completing it. I am excited about meeting with the Young Marines- Ooh Rah!

But... I recognize this mission is not a one-man show. My organization seeks to mobilize and connect the churches, schools, community leaders, parents and the children/young adults, to create a cycle of positive influence right within our own localities.
This effort will take my time and resources… and in order to GET this thing moving... I will continue to GIVE all that I have. In the coming weeks I will be presenting my vision to our local, state, and national elected officials in hopes that the CL King Group can devote 100% of our time to saving the next generation of choice makers!
