Past Members of the Month

R.C. Mosier: Nominated by Stuart Hiserodt, R. C. Mosier ran the Austin Under 40 Alumni board creating Alumni events and gathered several sponsors. He was a go-to guy and pitched in wherever needed. Additionally, he bought a case of wine for the wine toss and got several silent auction items and sponsors.

For the time and efforts put forth to raise money for Austin Sunshine Camps by organizing, recruiting volunteers for and managing the coat check at Carnival.

Cole hosted the Christmas party at his house. He spent many hours decorating and planning for the event. In addition, he raised a significant amount of funds for the Sunshine Camps through corporate donations. 

Since Mike Vecchiola joined YMBL, he continually steps up as a volunteer and often saves the day.  From volunteering for the set up crew at various social events to delivering Christmas gifts to filling in for camper pick up, and everything in between, Mike's dedication does not go unnoticed.  Thank you for all you do for YMBL and Austin Sunshine Camps.

Will Peck stepped in at the final hour to ensure that the 2012 Legacy Bash came together by assisting with alumni phone calls, recruiting volunteers and working tirelessly on the event to bring it all together.  With the help of Mr. Peck, the event was a success!

For developing a necessary process and procedure that aided in driver assignments and ensured that those we serve had transportation to camp this summer!  Additionally, Andrew served as the Session Lead for Session 7 and rallied his volunteers to end this summer with a BANG! 

Justin Manning did an outstanding job as a new member turned top fundriaser throughout our 2012 Individual Fundraising drive. His dedication to YMBL/ASC is an inspiration and our organization is fortunate to have a member who is so willing to give.

The November members of the month are Tom Williamson and Ethan Winters. Tom and Ethan own and operate Earthwork Media (www.earthworkmedia.com/) in which they specialize in websites, print designs, web applications, and corporate identities. Tom and Ethan have been very involved on the Austin Under 40 committee by creating every high quality marketing material that is produced, revising the website skin, and completely revamping the online nominations process into a much more user and administrative friendly process.

Dan Grieco, YMBL Member of the Month went above and beyond to show his passion for Austin Sunshine Camps this summer. Overcoming all obstacles, Dan stepped in and wrapped up the final session with a bang! He continuously motivated his team to step up and volunteer for each of the events, in particular the final night, when Dan stepped up and portrayed the Lost Chief for the final group of campers. His hard work is admirable and appreciated by ASC staff and campers alike.

For donating 21 total hours of his time to the Austin Sunshine Camps this summer. From painting faces and making balloon animals at Carnival Night to canoeing kids around Lady Bird Lake and showing up for a regular gig playing the Medicine Man, Chris far exceeded volunteer expectations. Thank you Chris, for all of the service that you put toward the mission of the YMBL and Austin Sunshine Camps.

Each month we celebrate a member that has gone above and beyond to lift our organization to the next level.  Daniel Becka has not only far exceeded the expectations of his fellow members, but has broken fundraising records (#1 fundraiser of the year), continued performing his job at the highest level, and still made time to interact with the kids at the Zilker camp (one heck of an indian brave!!). Our goal as a young professional organization is to not only support our worthy cause, the Austin Sunshine Camps, but to continue to foster and drive our professional lives forward, as well.

In celebration of another fine YMBL member who has stepped up far beyond expectation, make sure to shake Mr.

For his exemplary work as Chair of the 2011 Schlotzsky’s Bun Run.  Gary’s leadership and professionalism was instrumental in guiding the Bun Run committee through another successful campaign.  His team made improvements this year that included revamping the website, significantly cutting costs, updating the brand and streamlining the operation.  Gary also discounted the services of his company, Candence Sports, to operate the race and time the runners.  We look forward to the continued innovation and improvement that Gary and his team will bring to next year’s Bun Run!

For exemplary individual fundraising.

Since joining just a few months ago, Josh Mellot has taken the initiative to become highly involved in every facet of YMBL.  He has been dedicated to helping the Leadership kid's on a weekly basis and has gone above and beyond the call of duty, obtaining information on grants for new computers at the camps as well as working his network to provide some much needed IT support for the Zilker facility.  He has accepted the role of Leadership Chair in 2011 and is already developing a strategy to make the program better than ever.
