Pawtucket YMCA recognizes 3

The YMCA of Pawtucket recently recognized three individuals with awards and inducted new members at its 125th annual meeting at the MacColl YMCA in Lincoln.
On Feb. 24, the board of directors honored the late George Nasuti with the 2015 Spirit Award, posthumously recognizing him as a contributor who had furthered the organization’s mission and exemplified the traits that promote the ideals of the Y to the community. Nasuti was a long time board member and played a key role in the merging of the Woonsocket and Pawtucket YMCAs.
Nasuti’s wife, Carol, and nephew, Matt Moylan, accepted the award on his behalf.
The board also acknowledged Jim Stewart, executive director, for 35 years of service to the Y, and Esselton McNulty, general director, for 45 years of service.
“We are extremely proud of all we have achieved over the past year,” said McNulty. “From the success of our youth programs to increasing health and fitness opportunities for people of all ages, these accomplishments would not be possible without the support of our wonderful donors and the tremendous staff members.”
McNulty announced the newest inductees: Timothy Reichardt, training and communications manager at Narragansett Bay Insurance Company; Jevon Chan, partner at the Tai-O Real Estate Group; Jim Briden, partner at Blais Cunningham & Crowe Chester, LLP; Eileen Ryan-Saeger, vice president and portfolio manager for Citizens Bank’s nonprofit and healthcare lending group; and Mario Bueno, executive director of nonprofit Progreso Latino.
