CHARLOTTE EASTA Tribute to an East Charlotte AdvocateFor the third year, Aldersgate invitedits neighbors for a big lawn party,and everyone who came had a ball.“Our wooded campus is 231 acres,”said Erin Barbee, Aldersgate’s directorof mission advancement andchair of this year’s festival. “It’s anhonor to host everyone – and especiallyour eastside neighbors.”Kids of all ages enjoyed music, dancing, “creative”sandwich-making, free face painting, balloonartistry and delicious food from all over the world.The celebration was emceed by Hardin Minor.By: Maureen Gilewski, Co-Chair CharlotteEASTI met David High in 2016 when he joined theCharlotteEAST board. David was employed as theDirector of Strategic Planning and Developmentat Aldersgate Continuing Care RetirementCommunity (CCRC), a highly respected 70-yearEast Charlotte non-profit business. In 2017, Davidbecame an active voice on the CharlotteEASTboard, and began sharing with me Aldersgate’scommunity mission. Aldersgate was well intotheir mission to open the gates and embrace thediverse East Charlotte community beyond them.David was 100% on board withthe mission, because not onlywas Aldersgate talking aboutEast Charlotte’s economic andsocial capital issues, theywere also walking the walk byinvesting in the community.At CharlotteEAST, David wasChair of our Neighborhood TaskForce, which was a naturalcomplement to the mission ofAldersgate. In April 2018, under his direction, theNeighborhood Task Force had its first East communityleadership meeting called T3 – TogetherTowards Tomorrow.David quickly became a familiar face andvoice in the East community. To launch the mission,he contacted neighborhood leaders andbegan attending neighborhood meetings.David spoke enthusiastically about the processAldersgate was using to build relationshipswith the diverse communities of people surroundingtheir 231-acre campus. In early 2017,David invited me to attend the pilot Story CircleGroup used for community engagement. By theend of that same year, the community relationshipbuilding phase was complete. AlthoughDavid was not a resident of the East Charlottecommunity, he was a huge champion. He establishednumerous relationships with arearesidents, businesses, non-profits, and electedofficials. David was always eager to engage andconnect with new partners. If I suggested heintroduce someone to Aldersgate and the EastCharlotte community to advance the mission,he readily accepted and scheduled a personaltour of the property and a chat about the mission.His passion for the mission was contagious!Sadly, David passed away unexpectedly onJuly 12, 2018. He led the way for the East communityon this remarkable mission. We sawhim engage and partner with respect and inclusivenessin our diverse community.CHARLOTTE LI V I NG | 29
