Every so often I send our whole firm an email called “All the Good Things.” It’s my favorite email to write. This fall the list got long enough that it seemed a shame to keep it in-house, so here’s a look at what our people have been up to.
100 miles for MS research
Mike Wenig, Claire Grantham and Patrick Lineberry rode in the MS bike ride at Tanglewood this fall. Mike and Claire did 25 miles. Patrick did the Century Ride. That’s 100 miles. On a bike. On purpose. The team also raised significant funds for MS research, which matters even more than the mileage.
Walking for heart health
Jason Sparrow led a TD team at the Heart Walk with his wife Jessica, father Donnie and mother Sarah Sparrow, raising money for the American Heart Association along the way. Thank you to everyone who walked or gave.
Back to school at UNC Law
Daniel Stratton, Cory Rayborn and Lauren Slack spent a day at UNC School of Law meeting students and gave a lunch talk on what to think about when you’re choosing a law firm. They represented TD well, and we hope a few of those students remember us.
Welcome to the Bar, Lauren
A few weeks after giving law students career advice, Lauren Slack was sworn in herself. It was a joy to celebrate the end of years of hard work. Thank you to Cory for serving as her sponsor, to the many TD attorneys who filled the room and to everyone who raised a glass at the party afterward.
Cheers to Sarah
We celebrated Sarah Sparrow‘s retirement after years at Tuggle Duggins. Scott Gayle spoke about everything she’s given the firm, there was a dancing video (no further comment) and Sarah’s own words about her time here left the room a little misty.
Meeting the neighbors
We hosted a Meet the Neighbors gathering for the businesses that share our building, including FNB, Scott Insurance, the Greensboro Grasshoppers, NASDAQ, CPL and more. Thanks to our fearless administrative leaders Tim Rains and Elizabeth Osteen for a great setup. It’s good to know the people you share an elevator with.
And One More Thing
Our team also treated firm leadership to a Bosses’ Day breakfast, which was a great way to start a Friday. In less glamorous news, the 8th floor refrigerators have been cleaned out. Some of what we found had expired in 2023 (insert wide eyes emoji). We’ve started a weekly clean out, and we’ll leave it there.
Our people are why we love coming to work (fridge notwithstanding). If you’d like to be one of them, check out our Careers page.
That’s the good stuff. Thanks for reading, and thanks to everyone at TD who keeps showing up for our community.
