UPCOMINGUPCOMING

At our August 10 luncheon, alumni were treated to Polynesian food at Benihana Restaurant, with their highly skilled chefs. Everyone enjoyed the opportunity to network, share what they were doing and hear about upcoming events.

Happy New Year! July was the start of the new fiscal year

for LEADERship Alumni, and as always, I am here to

remind you to pay your dues as the invoices were recently

mailed out to all active alumni. You didn’t get an invoice?

Send me an email (gnuttall@hbkcpa.com) to find out what

the issue is and I will get you straightened out. Remember,

the board increased both the dues ($40) and the voluntary

scholarship contribution ($10) for a total of $50.

I am starting my 15th year as the treasurer for the LEADERship Martin

County Alumni, Inc. and in looking back over this last year and forward to the

current year, the board has and continues to do some great things. Your dues

and more importantly your involvement in upcoming events are critical to the

continued success of the Alumni and the LEADERship Martin County

Alumni Foundation for Youth, Inc.
