Featuring Presentation by Hope for Families
Executive Director, Marty Mercado
Marty Mercado has served as Executive Director of the Hope for Families Center for the past 4 years. She is a seasoned leader of non-profit organizations and holds a Master’s Certificate in Transformational Fundraising Leadership and Intercultural Management from the University of Notre Dame. She also offers her skills as a part-time crisis counselor.
Quoting from the Vero Beach Chamber of Commerce about the role of this valuable organization: “The Hope for Families Center is the source of safety and security when the Treasure Coast’s most vulnerable residents find themselves without shelter. We serve as the catalyst to get families back on their feet and provide the structure, education, and resources to not only keep families safe today but to have the ability to provide for themselves for the long term.”
We will also vote on the amount we will send to our scholarship account at the
College to help support a Florida student with financial needs, as well as vote on the
slate of Club officers and members-at-large for the coming year 2025-2026.
Please RSVP to Cynthia LaMothe at clamothe@verizon.net along with $30 Zelle payment to Cynthia LaMothe: clamothe@verizon.net or 508-259-3530. Or, mail a check payable to Smith College Club of Treasure Coast to Cynthia Lamothe at 1080 Reef Road, #207, Vero Beach, FL 32963.
