LEADERship Class 27 will soon being experiencing Sim Soc. What room were you
in? What about the other days of the leadership experience? You each obtained vast
knowledge on many different aspects of Martin County, you bonded with your class-
mates, and you graduated which makes you a LEADERship Alumni. A prestigious
accomplishment which give you access to other Alumni who are helping shape and
build Martin County for a better future. Are you taking advantage of what you
accomplished? I cannot think of another group which allows you to have access to
such a diverse and accomplished group of people?
The opportunity to interact and socialize with other Alumni will occur at the next big social, October the
6th, Stuart Jet Center, 5:30 to 7:30 PM. Full bar, appetizers, amazing “toys” to see and touch. Last year
there were several corporate jets, a Black Hawk helicopter, speed boats, a million dollar coach from
Liberty Coach and more. Only $20 per person. This contribution will help fund an $8,000 scholarship for
Youth LEADERship. Tickets are available on-line at www.LeadershipMCAlumni.com.
I promise that this year the social will be bigger and better. Come and rekindle friendships, network with
your peers and have a great time. Mark your calendars as I hope to see you there.
