Most of you may have known that Nell Campbell has been working relentlessly to complete her PhD. Through many deadlines and tiresome weeks of work, she accomplished that feat a few weeks ago. With that accomplishment we knew she would also be moving on to go back east to be with her husband, Tom. Nell is another athlete that has contributed incredibly to the success of my gym. She was with me literally from the beginning of my time as a volunteer/part time coach at the old Become CrossFit. That was back at the end of 2011/beginning of 2012. She has been with me since then, and it will be especially hard to see her go. Her last day will be Tuesday the 23rd, and we will be sure to send her off with a proper going away WOD. But first, I scheduled to have a gym-wide gathering at Taps Sports Bar THIS FRIDAY the 19th at 545pm to wish her well as a group. The 415 class on Friday will be the only afternoon class. The 515pm, 615pm, and Open Gym will be cancelled. I reserved the lower level that we had for our Christmas party last year. I bought a veggie tray that will feed 30 people, but other entrees and drinks will be your responsibility. Everyone is invited, even if you haven’t had the chance to meet Nell, still come and make some new acquaintances. Put it on your calendar, do it NOW!
