    Grover's Grill The 43rd Carolinas PGA Hall of Fame Inductee!! Grover Bullin, PGA, was the Golf Professional here at Wilson Country Club from 1947 to 1989. Not only did he help shape what we all love about this great Club, but he is also a cornerstone of developing the game of golf in Eastern North Carolina. Grover was known for his selfless approach to the game and his work to cultivate programs for junior and women golfers. Following his retirement from Wilson Country Club, Bullin continued to grow the game by teaching lessons for the Wilson County Parks and Recreation Department, and developed fundraisers for underprivileged youth in the area. Grover Bullin was voted Carolinas PGA Golf Professional of the Year in 1962. He served on the CPGA Board of Directors from 1964-1966. Wilson Country Club gives a Golf Scholarship at Barton College annually in his name. The Grover Bullin Endowed Scholarship was established in 1989, at the time of his retirement, and is used in place of institutional aid to a member of the golf team. Our Grillroom was renamed Grover’s Grill in 2013 to honor Bullin’s incredible commitment to Wilson Country Club. Thank you for dining with us. Bon appétit!

    Wake Christian Academy Annual Report 2005 INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Administrator’s Letter... Administrator’s Letter 1 Academics 2,3 Webster’s dictionary defines vision as “the power of sight; the ability to see; an image created in the Around Campus 3 imagination.” The vision we form for our lives may change over time, or we may set a course from which Athletics 8 we never deviate. Vision in one sense is a landscape we see in our minds and the masterpiece we spend Development 4, 5 our lives completing. Proverbs 29:18 states, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Finances 10,11 Wake Christian Academy established its vision state- Fine Arts 9 ment based upon Paul’s letter to the believers at Colosse. Through this letter, Paul clearly presents Jesus Christ as the Creator, Sustainer, and Savior. Paul pauses in chapter one to Ministries 6,7 state, “That in all things he might have the preeminence.” It is from this passage that the vision for Wake Christian Academy was formed: “Emphasizing the preeminence of Christ in Technology 8 life and learning.” How does this vision affect the daily activities of our school? The vision is expressed, but each member of the Wake Christian family must work together to paint the picture. Each day the staff is charged with evaluating every activity to determine if we are directing our- selves and our students toward the fulfillment of this vision in their lives. As we strive to achieve the intent of this vision, we must daily set aside our personal Re-Enrollment thoughts and feelings so that we may have the mind of Christ.
