Recently, the Stuart News published a letter to the editor from Noel Delvalle, President of Martin County Police Athletic League (MCPal), which we would love to share with Impact100 Martin members.
Grants Committee CoChairs, Joan Gibbons and Kelly McIntyre recently visited the MCPal location in Palm City and toured the new box truck van. Currently, the van is in the process of getting the exterior wrapped and interior equipment installed. MCPal is planning for full use of the van to our communities when school begins.
Impact100 Martin members from Harbour Ridge also recently visited and shared the following: “Noel, their Executive Director, is passionate about the work they are doing to keep young, at risk, kids out of trouble and engaged in leadership training, boxing, golf and soccer.”

Kentucky, 1850. An enslaved groom named Jarret and a bay foal forge a bond of understanding that will carry the horse to record-setting victories across the South. When the nation erupts in civil war, an itinerant young artist who has made his name on paintings of the racehorse takes up arms for the Union. On a perilous night, he reunites with the stallion and his groom, very far from the glamor of any racetrack. New York City, 1954. Martha Jackson, a gallery owner celebrated for taking risks on edgy contemporary painters, becomes obsessed with a nineteenth-century equestrian oil painting of mysterious provenance. Washington, DC, 2019. Jess, a Smithsonian scientist from Australia, and Theo, a Nigerian-American art historian, find themselves unexpectedly connected through their shared interest in the horse—one studying the stallion’s bones for clues to his power and endurance, the other uncovering the lost history of the unsung Black horsemen who were critical to his racing success. Based on the remarkable true story of the record-breaking thoroughbred Lexington, HORSE is a novel of art and science, love and obsession, and our unfinished reckoning with racism.
If you want to meet new members with the shared interest of reading and discuss the book HORSE by Geraldine Books. Join our moderators Sue Whittington and Jill Preston on August 7th for our discussion. While this will be an informal gathering, we ask that you please read the book if you plan to attend. This will be held in a private home in the Summerfield community - the address will be sent to all who R.S.V.P. by August 4, 2023.
Bring your own beverage.
Please RSVP by August 4, 2023
