Growing up in a poor, single parent household in North Charleston, South Carolina, a young Tim Scott grew accustomed to moving every few years, as well as the long hours his mom worked to keep a roof over their heads. After failing four classes his freshman year of high school, Tim's path forward was murky at best.
But thankfully, he had a mom who stuck with him, and met a mentor that showed him the wisdom of conservative principles. Through their belief and his own determination, Tim got his grades back on track, graduated from Charleston Southern University, and eventually built his own successful small business.
Through the lessons taught by his mentor, Tim developed his mission statement: to positively affect the lives of a billion people. That led him to public service, where he was elected to Charleston County Council, the South Carolina House of Representatives, the United States House of Representatives, and the United States Senate.
Since joining the Senate in 2013, Senator Scott has been a national leader on efforts to bring opportunity to every American family. His signature legislation creating Opportunity Zones was passed as part of the 2017 tax reform package, and has the potential to bring billions of dollars of private investment into distressed communities across the country.
As he continues to lead on the implementation of the Opportunity Zones initiative, Senator Scott also plays a critical role in issues regarding workforce development, education and diversity. Whether it's tackling the skills gap, making sure children have access to the educational environment best suited for them, or working to bring everyone to the table to find solutions, Senator Scott will keep fighting for South Carolinians every single day he serves in the U.S. Senate.

Blige, Stevie Nicks, Kelly Clarkson, Wynonna Judd, Alison Krauss, Cher, The Neville Brothers, Jonny Lang, Robert Randolph, T-Pain and Garth Brooks.
His penchant for creating theme songs helped to drive acclaimed films such as the John Travolta blockbuster- "Phenomenon", Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington's ground-breaking hit film on the subject of AIDS- "Philadelphia" and Kevin Costner's ode to baseball- "For Love Of The Game". Sims' music has also featured heavily in television from ABC network's Emmy award winning "Grey's Anatomy" to the FOX network's mega-hit, "American Idol", and often as Musical Director for award shows such as CMT "Artist of the Year", BMI "Gospel Trailblazers", CMT's Tribute to Charlie Pride and the GMA's Dove Awards.

In 2000 Sims would reluctantly release an album of his own, through his own Positive Movement, Inc label partnership with Universal Records.

Scott Mulvahill
Artist, West Sterling Music
Frontman. Singer-songwriter. World-renowned upright bassist. Multi-instrumentalist. Scott Mulvahill is leaving his unique mark on the intersecting worlds of Americana, bluegrass, folk, jazz, rock & roll, and roots music. Raised in Houston, Mulvahill cut his teeth as a member of Ricky Skaggs' acclaimed band, Kentucky Thunder. The group toured internationally for five years, backed by the bottom-heavy pulse of Mulvahill's upright bass. Along the way, he also composed music of his own, shining a light on the genre-jumping influences — Paul Simon's sophisticated pop, James Taylor's folk, Jaco Pastorius' innovative jazz, and more — that would eventually inspire the material on his 2018 solo debut, Himalayas. His performances as part of Skaggs' nightly shows laid the brickwork for Mulvahill's transition from hotshot sideman to compelling frontman.
Encouraged by musical mentor Bruce Hornsby, Mulvahill developed a unique approach to his songwriting — one that mixed his chops as an upright bassist with hook-heavy melodies and compelling narratives. A true "musician's musician," Mulvahill fills his solo debut with complex fingerwork and innovative progressions. At the same time, Himalayas is a song-driven record that focuses its attention not upon Mulvahill's virtuosity, but upon the sheer listenability of his material. This is acoustic-leaning roots music of the highest caliber, shot through with elastic vocals, dobro, fiddle, and the honest, biographical lyrics of a songwriter who gave up an enviable position in Skaggs' band to pursue his own muse.
"I wanna go over where I've never been," he sings during the sparsely-decorated title track, one of several tracks to deal with the universal themes of facing one's fears, taking leaps, and chasing down new horizons. Those messages are reflected in Mulvahill's own career, as he pioneers a sound centered upon his voice and upright bass. "As important as the bass is to the sound of my music, it's not a crutch," he says. "To me, the songwriting, the voice, and the message are what really matter. 2020's "Creative Potential" and 2021's "Surrounded" EPs have found him taking those leaps while keeping true to the core of his musicianship, songwriting, unique concept of artistry. For a lifelong musician like Scott Mulvahill, the climb is never over.

Louis Upkins
Entrepreneur, Global Leadership Forum & UMusic Hotels
I am passionate about purposeful living and the impact it can have. After a long and successful career as an entrepreneur, author, speaker and ally in the entertainment industry, with projects as diverse as brokering deals between Oprah and Starbucks, and consulting on national campaigns for the likes of McDonald's, Gap, and UPS, I've turned my attention to the one thing that I believe matters most for businesses and individuals – a life lived with purpose.
After serving as CEO of The Lifebook Company, a Partner of Executive Development at GiANT Impact, and a national speaker at Lifework Leaders, I've seen the immense impact intentional living can have. Those with it prosper at home and at work. Those without it struggle to make sense of the world and achieve at their highest potential.
A graduate of Leadership Nashville in 2004 and Leadership Middle Tennessee in 2006, I bring a keen eye for purposeful leadership with me everywhere I go. I currently serve on the boards of NASBA Center for Public Trust, Friends of Warner Park, and the YMCA of Middle Tennessee and previously served on the boards of the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, 100 Black Men of Middle Tennessee, Leadership Middle Tennessee, and New Hope Academy in Franklin, TN.

Bill Haslam
Former Governor of Tennessee
Bill Haslam is the former governor of the State of Tennessee. He was first elected in 2010 and was re-elected in 2014 with the largest victory in modern Tennessee history.
Under his leadership, Tennessee became recognized as a national leader in education, economic development, efficient and effective government, and fiscal strength.
During his two terms as governor, Tennessee students were the fastest improving in the country in academic achievement, and high school graduation rates reached an all-time high. Tennessee became the first state in the nation to offer high school graduates and adults two years of community or technical college free of mandatory tuition and fees as part of the governor's Tennessee Promise and Tennessee Reconnect programs.
Approximately 450,000 private sector jobs were created during his time in office, and Tennessee's unemployment rate reached the lowest level recorded in state history.
Haslam proposed and implemented significant legislative initiatives, including working with the Tennessee General Assembly to simultaneously pass the largest tax cut in Tennessee history and improve the state's transportation infrastructure. His administration right-sized state government while building a customer-centric approach, cut more than $575 million in recurring spending, balanced the budget every year, more than tripled the state's savings account, and helped the state earn a triple AAA bond rating.
In 2003, Haslam ran successfully for mayor of Knoxville and was overwhelmingly re-elected in 2007. As mayor, he balanced eight consecutive city budgets, tripled the Rainy Day Fund, focused city government on providing services in an efficient manner, helped found key education initiatives, and recruited and retained thousands of jobs to Knoxville.
Since leaving office, Haslam has returned to the private sector and continues to be engaged on many local and national issues. He is currently the Chair of the Wilson Center and serves on the National Board of Directors for Teach for America and Young Life Board. In addition, he is the Co-Chair of the Vanderbilt Project on Unity and American Democracy.
Haslam is also the author of Faithful Presence: The Promise and Peril of Faith in the public Square.
Haslam and his wife, Crissy, have been married for 40 years and are blessed with three children and ten grandchildren.

per GenNext student (ages 3 to 18)
Qualifications to Attend
Our community of givers is composed of individuals and families who make charitable grants and contributions of more than $200,000 a year to Christian causes, or hold a reasonable expectation of reaching that level in the future. The number is a proxy for an emerging set of questions and opportunities for givers in this territory. And we hold this criteria so everyone arrives with a shared understanding and on the same footing. How to make a lasting, fruitful impact with the range, depth, and complexity of tools and resources at your disposal? How to navigate and mitigate the inevitable pitfalls? Where to find a community of peers who understand your joys and your struggles? How to thrive in singlehood or shepherd a family blessed with financial wealth? We foster friendships among givers in pursuit of Biblical wisdom and love of neighbor.
We hope you enjoy this community and conference so much that you can't help telling your friends to come, too. We welcome your gift of friendship, and would be delighted to speak with anyone you recommend to us. We would reach out to hear their story and see how our community might serve them. You can share a name and the best way to reach them in the registration form, or contact Josh directly.
We will refund 100% of registration fees from now through July 31, net of transaction costs outside our control. Starting August 1, we will not be refunding fees because of the expenses we incur to produce the event. However, we can provide you a letter acknowledging the amount as a donation. We make exceptions for medical emergencies. Thank you for helping us plan prudently.
We realized years ago that our annual conference had grown into a three-generation event, and we responded to the needs of our growing families by providing an outrageously fun experience while weaving in stories and activities aimed at stirring a child's heart for faith and generosity. Our hope is two-fold: for friendships that are forged within GenNext to carry and deepen year after year of participation, and for the virtues and Scriptures that are modeled at GenNext to reinforce the lessons already taught at home.
In past years, students have gone kayaking and snorkeling, taken cooking classes, visited a rodeo and aquarium, and worked in teams to problem-solve their way out of "escape rooms." They have also prepared and hosted a birthday party for children living in a homeless shelter. We take care to provide age-appropriate activities. Counselors share their personal testimonies and teach from a Bible study. Our older students will attend a few of The Gathering's main sessions. We also invite some of our speakers to address the youth on various topics as well.
To provide the best activities and learning environments for our children at all stages of their lives, we offer four age groups, based on where our children are in school when they arrive in September.
The GenNext schedule perfectly complements the main Gathering schedule, allowing adults to attend their selected sessions and classes while also giving families some free time together.
Our pool of counselors is drawn from a selective, 8-month leadership training program for young Christian adults, called The Forge. They are vetted, trained, experienced, and eager to pour into the lives of the students. The leaders of GenNext have a wonderful history with The Forge.
Can I bring a friend to a single session or meal at the conference?
Anyone who attends the conference, even for a shorter amount of time, must be registered for the event. The event is invite-only and open to philanthropists who meet our giving criteria.
Can I raise money for my favorite ministries doing the best work in the Kingdom by buttonholing my peers at The Gathering?
No. The Gathering is a community of friends -- a place to learn, share, and grow without being accosted for funding. This unique environment is intentionally protected by our shared core value of trust. We encourage the enthusiastic exchange of opposing ideas, the joyful celebration of successful giving and meaningful impact, and the painful conversations about hard lessons learned. However, if you feel cornered by an aggressive sales pitch from anyone at our event, whether a participant or a speaker, don't hesitate to let us know. Your feedback will be kept confidential.
When will registration for The Gathering 2022 close?
We will close registration on Thursday, September 15, in order to make final preparations for the conference.
What is the cancellation and refund policy?
What is the conference attire?
The attire is resort casual. No need for men to pack a tie – although you will see a few ties and blue blazers at dinner in the evenings. The ballroom and classroom temperatures tend to be quite cold at most hotels, so definitely pack a cardigan, shawl, or jacket. We cover three generations (from babies to grandparents) in The Gathering, so whatever you feel comfortable wearing is great with us.
A majority of our programming this year will be inside. However, on Friday night if you registered for the following dinners, they will be outdoors and casual attire.
Enjoying an Evening of the Arts, North Wind Manor
Setting the Banquet Table, Biscuit Love (Franklin)
Following the Way of Jesus in Public Life, The Bridge Building
Do you have any activities for my children and grandchildren?
Yes we do! For over a decade, we have hosted a youth program at The Gathering for children 3 years old through 12th grade, called GenNext. We firmly believe that virtue and philanthropy can be modeled, taught, and celebrated -- even among our youngest participants. It is our greatest hope that your young ones will yearn to return year after year, building friendships that last and learning values that honor your family legacy. We combine the best of rollicking fun and spiritual inquiry, led by a select group of counselors who joyfully serve for the entire weekend. The GenNext schedule perfectly complements the main Gathering schedule, allowing adults to attend their selected sessions while also giving families some free time together.
How far is the conference hotel from the airport?
The drive from Nashville International Airport to the Omni Nashville Hotel is about 20 minutes. There is not a shuttle so please arrange your transportation to the hotel.
Is there a mobile app for the conference?
Yes, we have an app just for our event! The app will be released about one week before the conference and will be your hub for the detailed schedule, participant directory, speaker bios, session descriptions, and more helpful tools for the onsite experience.
As a newcomer, will I feel out of place?
Each year, about one-quarter of our participants are new to The Gathering, which is exciting for the growth of the community. Before the Opening Night dinner, our Board of Directors hosts a "Newcomers Reception" so you can meet our leaders and connect with others. We also love making introductions -- and will happily do so before you arrive for the conference. Whether you're coming alone or with a large family, we want you to feel at home with friendly faces in the crowd. If you would like to bring a new friend or have us reach out for a conversation, please let us know!
What is covered in the registration fee?
Register for The Gathering 2022.

It was curiosity that brought us to The Gathering, but it was authentic relationships that kept us coming back.

You can multiply your impact by collaborating and learning from a community of givers.
Michele Dudley
A room full of people who do 'have it all' by worldly standards, singing the song that said "its yours, its all yours" and knowing that they meant it brought me to tears. What a privilege to be reminded how vast God's Kingdom is, and that he uses all of us, rich or poor, to fulfill his purposes.

Some of the greatest relationships that I have exist within this community.

The Gathering is a concentrated group of high capacity, Kingdom-driven individuals. It enables me to connect with those folks over best practices and ideas and to be there as a friend and build real, authentic relationships.

The Gathering is a sacred space for our family, a rare catalyst for friendships, conversations, and perspectives we have not found anywhere else.

Dit boek vertelt het verhaal van Harry Morgan en zijn eerste stappen in automobilisme en autoproductie. Prachtige oude foto's.
Morgan, Malvern & Motoring tells the story of Harry Morgan and his first forays into motoring and car manufacture. Impeccably researched over twenty years, it is illustrated by a wealth of rare and superb photographs.
Few large companies have survived a century in family ownership but one, Morgan, and it is also the world's oldest privately owned car manufacturer. Many myths are dispelled as the story of the firm's early years is told.
Morgan has had a link with the market town of Malvern for its entire hundred-year life. Harry Morgan, son of a Herefordshire minister, was to put Malvern on the car-manufacturing map. The Morgan 'Runabout' was to be the first of a long line of three- and four-wheeled Morgans that still leave the Malvern factory today.

Bye Bye 10, Hello 15!
For the second time the 3-element SteppIR antenna at SEØX failed, and this time with terrible timing a few days before the SAC SSB Contest. First I expected the failure to be similar to when then antenna copper tape jammed inside the EUH the past winter. Friday night, less than 20 hours before the start of the contest, we took the tower down and opened up the dipole EHU to find the drive shaft broken.


Sandalwood and aromatherapy are two popular aspects that often go together in promoting healing. Though sandalwood aromatherapy has always been associated with spas and massage areas, its health benefits extend far beyond that. For thousands of years, the ancients have used sandalwood in relieving themselves and others from a variety of symptoms of ill health via aromatherapy. But what does sandalwood aromatherapy offers to all of us nowadays?
Aromatherapy is an ancient practice which aims at triggering emotions and consciousness of people to promote healing and good health. As the brain is connected to a jumble of neurotransmitters sending signals to your overall system, so does sandalwood bring a lot of benefits when used as a base element in aromatherapy. Much research has been conducted on whether aromatherapy is actually effective and researchers are learning that the ancients knew quite a lot.
From sandalwood incense to essential oil and powder, ailments such as mental disorders, common cold, urinary tract infections, piles, scabies, liver and gallbladder issues, digestive problems and, muscle troubles are treated with sandalwood aromatherapy either in the form of a massage or via diffusion for smelling. As smell also plays a huge role in appetite, sandalwood and aromatherapy can also be used in addressing excessive weight gain.
When used via massage, this also aids in various conditions involving the skin, immunity, microbial infection, wound and scar healing, skin regeneration, and certain forms of cancer.
Worry-Free Sandalwood Aromatherapy. Blend together 1 drop of Sandalwood oil, 4 drops of lavender oil, 1 drop Benzoin, and 2 to 4 drops of orange or Clementine oil. Simply put into a diffuser while you go to sleep. This is good to de-stress and calm the mind as well as cure insomnia. If you want a relaxing blend which can be placed in a bath, try combining 2 drops each of chamomile, sandalwood, lavender, and clary sage into a tub full of warm water.
Anxiety-Free Blend. Another blend to use to relieve insomnia, depression, and anxiety, as well as moments of agitation and irritability, is by adding 10 drops of chamomile roman, 15 drops of sandalwood and 5 drops of lemon. Place in a diffuser or in a relaxing warm bath.
Mental Strain Relief. Burnout from work or studying for a long exam or solving a personal problem can cause excessive strain to the mind and emotions. Try calming your senses by diffusing 2 drops each of Frankincense, bergamot, sandalwood and orange or tangerine. This combination of aromatherapy helps soothe the nerves and uplift the spirit.
Sensual Dreams. Resurrect your sensuality with this concoction. Mix 10 drops each of myrrh, sandalwood, frankincense, and ylang-ylang. Simply add to a diffuser or to a warm bath to go to la la land and reawaken your sultry side.
Suppress Cravings. Suppress your desire to eat and lose weight fast in the process. Simply mix 2 drops each of dill weed, ginger, sandalwood, and vanilla. Drop into a diffuser and inhale for 5 to 10 minutes.
Throat Solutions. When afflicted by coughs and colds, bronchitis or laryngitis and other upper respiratory diseases, make use of a sandalwood aromatherapy compress. Mix 6 drops of sandalwood oil into a bowl of warm water. Soak a clean, wet cloth and apply as a compress to the throat for 15 minutes. Repeat as needed.
Winter Warmth. Add a little warmth to your home during wintry spells. Simply soak a log with 2-3 drops of Sandalwood before placing on a fireplace. Let it diffuse to the room. That's one huge incense-like sensation to keep you warm.
Healing is a definite result each time you use sandalwood and aromatherapy blend. Aside from boosting your immune system, you are also keeping your nervous system balanced thereby improving your health. Do it on a regular basis to truly enjoy a blissful life that's free from diseases.
