<p><strong>Who:</strong> Trey Gowdy, Congress, Representing South Carolina’s 4<sup>th</sup> District</p>
<p><a href="http://www.unitedforchrist.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Gowdy.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-242" title="Gowdy" src="http://www.unitedforchrist.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Gowdy.jpg" alt="" width="178" height="268" /></a>Representing South Carolina’s 4th District, Trey Gowdy entered Congress with a resolute commitment to the conservative principles that have guided him throughout his years in public service. At the core of those principles lies a firm belief in a limited government that inspires trust and demands accountability.</p>
<p>Representative Gowdy serves on the Committee on Judiciary, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and the Committee on Education and Workforce. In these capacities, Trey fights to uphold the Constitution, rein in the ever-expanding scope of the federal government, and restore America’s trust with a renewed spirit of honesty and transparency.</p>
<p>Trey graduated from Spartanburg High School in 1982, Baylor University in 1986 with a degree in History, and the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1989 where he was a member of the scholastic honor society “Order of the Wig and Robe”.</p>
<p>Trey is married to Terri Dillard Gowdy, and they have two children: Watson and Abigail.  Terri works for the Spartanburg School District as a teacher’s aide. Watson attends Clemson University and Abigail is a 9th grader at Spartanburg High School. The Gowdy family also includes three dogs: “Judge,” “Jury,” and “Bailiff.”</p>
<p><strong>Where:</strong>  The location is at the Spartanburg County Public Library just off of Kennedy Street and Church Street in downtown Spartanburg in the Barrett Room.  The directions inside the library to the Barrett Room are: when you come into the main entrance of the library just follow the main hallway all the way in until the last “big wooden interior door” on the left.</p>
<p><strong>RSVP:</strong>  1) Hit ‘Reply’ to this e-mail… 2) In the subject heading… Please write YES (in big capital letters) and the number of people with you. So, if you RSVP for just yourself the subject heading will look something like this: ‘YES – 1′ … If you are bringing 3 people with you then it would look like this: YES – 4 (3 people + yourself =4).</p>
<p><strong>Sponsor:</strong>   You can sponsor our events, and/or guest speakers.  A great value to promote your business at our meetings in front of many Christian business executives, management and employees.</p>
<p><strong>Lunch:</strong>  This event is Free but you may purchase lunch from Bubba’s Barbeque for $10 (it’s awesome!). Please reply to this e-mail and let us know that you are planning to attend so we can plan for your attendance and order your lunch.  There’s a lot of planning we try to accomplish before you get there so we can be good stewards with what God’s blessed us with.  Thank you for considering spending this time with us!  If you come I promise you will not be disappointed!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone!  We will be having a meeting of The Bottom Line on  Tuesday June 14, 2011. As some of you may know, William Renfrow has  become much more involved in other ministries like Fellowship of  Christian Athletes and United Carpenters for Christ. Since he has been  led to other time consuming ministries he has passed The Bottom Line off  to me. I hope that you will all take a minute to send William a message  thanking him for his many years of service to this ministry. He  certainly has greatly impacted the Spartanburg Business community for  Christ!</p>

<p>The meeting this month is major! Former Carolina Panther, Business  Man, Author, and Philanthropist Mike Minter will be our speaker! We all  know that Mike Minter was successful on the football field. Did you know  that he is also a very successful businessman?</p>
<p>If you’ve never heard Mike Minter speak before you are really in for a  treat. He speaks just like he plays football! Expect to be hit! Here is  a link to some of Mike’s football moments:</p>

<p><strong>Here are the details!

<p><strong>What: </strong>I want to remind everyone that <strong><strong>Tuesday, June 14th</strong></strong>, we will have our monthly meeting of <strong>“The Bottom Line.”</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The Bottom Line combines:</p>
<p><strong>L </strong><strong>eadership principles</strong></p>
<p><strong>I </strong><strong>ntegrating faith at work and at church</strong></p>
<p><strong>N </strong><strong>etworking with other businesses</strong></p>

<p><strong>When: </strong><strong>Tuesday, June 14<sup>th</sup> </strong>from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm (Come around 11:30 AM to network with other Christian Business People)</p>
<p><strong>Who: </strong>Mike Minter!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.unitedforchrist.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Mike_Minter.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-176 alignright" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Mike Minter" src="http://www.unitedforchrist.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Mike_Minter.jpg" alt="" width="243" height="363" /></a>Mike Minter has been a pillar of the Carolina Panther defense since  joining the team in 1997. Known as one of the most consistent performers  in professional football, Minter is a rare breed having spent his  entire career with one organization. He has seen the highs of playing in  the Super Bowl and the lows of a team that won but one game in a 16  game season.</p>
<p>An all-pro safety, Mike Minter officially retired from the Panthers  on August 7, 2007. But for Minter, there is life after football.</p>
<p>Mike has been called a true Renaissance man. His new-found successes  as businessman and philanthropist will soon rival his fame on the field.  His humble demeanor and desire to give back to the community places  Mike in a category of his own. His impact on fellow athletes has been  enormous. His impact on his community may be even greater.</p>
<p>As a motivational speaker, Mike&#8217;s insights are unique, his delivery  impeccable, his credentials unparalleled. He makes his listeners laugh,  he makes them think and, above all, he encourages them to become  everything that God intended for them.</p>
<p><strong>Where: </strong>The <strong>location</strong> is at the Spartanburg County Public Library just off of Kennedy Street  and Church Street in downtown Spartanburg in the Barrett Room.  The  directions inside the library to the Barrett Room are: when you come  into the main entrance of the library just follow the main hallway all  the way in until the last “big wooden interior door” on the left.</p>

So, if you RSVP for just yourself the subject  heading will look something like this: &#8216;YES &#8211; 1&#8242; &#8230; If you are  bringing 3 people with you then it would look like this: YES &#8211; 4 (3  people + yourself =4).</p>

<p><strong>What? </strong>I want to remind everyone that <strong>Tuesday, January 11th</strong> we will have our monthly meeting of <strong>“The Bottom Line.”</strong><strong> </strong></p>

<p>Today Renfrow Brothers employs a workforce of over 200, primarily on  industrial construction jobs in South Carolina, North Carolina, and  Georgia. Major clients include Invista, BMW, and R.R. Donnelley.  The  full-service contractor can handle it all &#8212; mechanical services,  equipment installation, electrical services, general and industrial  construction, fabrication, and ongoing maintenance support.<strong><a href="http://www.unitedforchrist.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/William-Renfrow1.jpg"><img class="alignright" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="William Renfrow" src="http://www.unitedforchrist.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/William-Renfrow1.jpg" alt="" width="176" height="132" /></a></strong></p>
