From the Board From the Board -- Greg NuttallGreg Nuttall, A belated Happy New Year to all my fellow alumni!

Our President, Carl Newton, has us off to a great year with an exciting new fund raiser in

the works, but he needs our help to make it a success. On May 24th, it will be Comedy Night

at the Lyric sponsored by LEADERship Foundation. In September, we will be doing our 2nd

annual Celebrity Chef event at Benihana’s. Details are being finalized and more information

will be forth coming, so keep your eyes peeled and be ready to enjoy two great evenings!

These two events allow the LMCA Foundation for Youth to keep the Martin Youth LEADER-

ship program and the MYL Scholarship funded. These programs are the legacy of the Alumni of LEADER-

ship Martin County, and you are critical to their continued success in both funding and volunteering.

Last but not least, remember to pay your dues! Our fiscal year is July 2013 to June 2014, and we mailed out

dues invoices in July and again in September. We will be purging our active alumni list in the next few

months, and I don’t want to remove anyone who wants to stay active and be included in the directory. If you

are unsure whether your dues are paid, please email me ([email protected]) or Nancy Sailer

([email protected]). We can get you a quick answer. Your dues and more importantly your involvement in

upcoming events are critical to the continued success of the Alumni and the LMCA Foundation.

Business Person of the Month Business Person of the Month ---- Kerry SeesKerry Sees

Spot Lighting Gina Golino!Spot Lighting Gina Golino!

Leaders lead but Gina Golino, Class 22, leads with her sneakers on and her heart in the right place – a real trailblazer managing her position as Marketing Director for the family owned business, Forward Electric & Air Conditioning, Mom to her two beautiful

children Anthony age 15 and Alyssa age 13, coach to her daughter’s traveling softball team as well as supporting her son’s Football Booster Club and the list goes on. Our LEADERship community is very grateful for all her contributions. Gina sits on the Martin Youth LEADERship Planning Com-mittee as well as the Gulfstream Council Learning for Life team that keeps both our adult and youth leader-ship groups safe when they are climbing the high ropes and learning new team skills.

Somehow Gina still finds time to volunteer with the House of Hope Food Pantry. Just this year, her and her children collected more than 6,000 pounds of PB&J for the hungry. Gina is also a driving force as a Tykes & Teens Board Member, United Way of Martin County Hunger Task Force, Council on Aging Meals on Wheels and Habitat of Humanity Women Build volunteer. She is a contributing member of all the area chambers; a board member of the Indiantown Chamber and the YMCA Advisory Council. Thank you, Gina, for all you do. You are a leader to emulate!

Now just tell me what kind of sneakers you’re sporting! Submitted by Lisa Teetor, Past President & Class Magnificent VII
