Players win games. Teams win titles!

“Players win games. Teams win titles,” a quote from the Boston Celtics locker room was used by Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie, Presiding Bishop of the Thirteenth Episcopal District, while addressing the attendees of the standing-room-only Strategy Breakfast of The Recovery Movement and Campaign to Elect Dr. Clement W. Fugh to Episcopal Service in 2012. The meeting was held on Thursday, July 22, 2010, at the Renaissance Hotel, Nashville, TN, the site of the Episcopal District Christian Education Congress.

“Team 13” is the unified/solidified force of the Thirteenth Episcopal District, poised to host the 49th Quadrennial Session of the General Conference in Nashville, June 27 – July 4, 2012. She stated that “Team 13” must be committed to victory in every aspect, including helping our “Home Team Candidate for Episcopal Service” on to victory.

The Breakfast served as an occasion for Dr. Fugh to introduce some of the key players of the Recovery Movement to rank and file supporters:

Presiding Elder Linda T. Martin, General Chairperson
Presiding Elder Thomas Hughes (4), Connectional Coordinator
Dr. Kenneth S. Robinson, Connectional Liaison
Mr. John Thomas III, Young Adult Advisor

Bishop McKenzie announced that Dr. and Mrs. Clement Fugh will serve as the Honorary Chairpersons for the Quadrennial Banquet, to be held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center on June 26, 2012, the evening before the opening of the 49th Quadrennial Session of the General Conference.

Dr. Fugh thanked those in attendance for their show of confidence. His partner in life, Mrs. Alexia Fugh, joined him in sharing her appreciation for the love and support of Bishop McKenzie and of “Team 13.”

Special thanks was extended to Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Henderson of Henderson Financial Group for underwriting the event.
