Good morning John,

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your outstanding contribution to our Community Service class day last month at the CNY Community Foundation. As always, your expertise and leadership were exceptional, captivating the class and greatly enriching the entire experience. Several class members shared positive feedback on the insights they gained. Here’s what some of them had to say:

‘Listening to John Tumino was truly inspiring, and it made me really think about the way I react to seeing panhandlers on the side of the road. Every person is a “human and deserves to be treated with respect and not ignored.”

“I would consider John Tumino to be one of the best speakers we’ve heard this year. His personal experiences are inspirational.”

“John Tumino was fantastic! It was amazing to learn about what he does in the community. It has inspired me to help.”

 “Hearing from John Tumino left me with a different perspective and inspired me to use my own unique gifting and talents to further help support the community.”

John, your generosity in volunteering your time and support for LGS is genuinely appreciated. Your efforts have significantly enriched our program, and we are truly grateful for your dedication to our community.

Thank you again for your invaluable participation and commitment to LGS and our mission. I look forward to future opportunities to collaborate and further enrich our learning journey.

Wishing you a wonderful rest of the summer!

Robin Macaluso 

Program Director LGS

I am thrilled to share with you the heartwarming experience we had at Roxboro Road Elementary School. Our visit was nothing short of magical, as we had the honor of meeting a group of bright and enthusiastic young minds, our “Rising Rock Stars.” Their attentiveness and interaction surpassed all expectations, making our mission to inspire even more fulfilling.

Our presentation on the mission of IMFK resonated deeply with the students. They were not just passive listeners; they were active participants, eager to understand how they could contribute to making a positive impact in their community. It’s moments like these that reinforce our belief in the power of the younger generation. When a young person decides to look beyond themselves and extend a helping hand to others, that’s when real change begins to take root.

The highlight of the day was witnessing the students’ commitment to assembling goody bags for IMFK. Their dedication is a testament to the idea that everyone, regardless of age, can be the hands that reach out and touch the lives of others in need. We are incredibly proud of these young individuals who are already moving mountains with their vision and compassion.

A special shout-out goes to Ms. Katie and the entire staff at Roxboro Road Elementary School. Your dedication to nurturing these children’s sense of importance and ability to make a difference is truly commendable. Together, we are not just teaching them about the world; we are showing them how they can change it.

Thank you all for your unwavering support and for believing in our mission. Let’s continue to inspire and be inspired, for the ripple effect of today’s actions will shape the world of tomorrow.

With heartfelt gratitude,
John and Leigh Ann
