Who connected you with Beautiful Day?My dear friend Marissa Moran introduced me to Joanne Glen. Apparently, Joanne already had me on her radar as an event planner, and as soon as I was Six40 disciple and baptized, I was recruited.
What project do you head up?
I oversee the Beautiful Day Celebration at the end of our amazing week. I get to help all the staff, volunteers and some recipients celebrate the amazing work God will do for Beautiful Day week. My role entails managing a team of event planners, reaching out to vendors for donations, managing our budget and working with the Beautiful Day Core Team weekly to make this Beautiful Day the best yet!
How do you feel about being a part of the Core Team?
Words can't describe how highly I think of this team. Commiting one night a week on top of everything else they all do, including raising families, is above and beyond. They take Beautiful Day seriously and want to see it succeed and have a great impact on our valley. On top of them being great at their project direction, they are also a WHOLE lot of fun.
Going forward, what you like to see happen in our community as a result of Beautiful Day?
More community and church involvement. I'd like to see the 2012 Beautiful Day Week double the number of churches and businesses invovled in the planning. I'd love to see a positive impact on the lives of those we help and hope that God SHINES through each of us as we go out into the community in the next week.
Wendy Laugesen grew up in Los Gatos and went to high school in Campbell, not far from WestGate Church. She loves a good steak and, conversely, a good salad. ("NO weeds.") Her diverse music interest tends to focus on tunes from the '80s, though she has a soft spot for Neil Diamond, the greatest singer/songwriter of this or any generation.
