Celebrated restaurateur Larry Mindel helped transf Celebrated restaurateur Larry Mindel helped transform the Bay Area’s culinary landscape by bringing authentic Italian cuisine to the forefront. As the founder of legendary restaurants like Ciao!, Prego, Poggio and the driving force behind Il Fornaio’s nationwide success, Mindel’s story is equal parts passion, creativity and bold business instinct. Q: Did you really start your first company at 26 with just $36 in the bank? A: Yes, it’s true. I bought Caswell Coffee, a San Francisco institution. Q: You are credited with helping bring authentic Italian cuisine to California, if not the U.S. What inspired your deep connection to Italy? A: I first visited Italy after college and fell in love with the people and culture. For our restaurants, I hired native Italians and took our managers on annual trips to Italy. We studied the food and service, comparing true Italian to the Americanized version. And they got it. They understood the value of authenticity — of having chefs who cooked real Italian food. Not because they read about it in a book, but because they had it in their hearts.

In 1990, Felecia Gaston founded Performing Stars o In 1990, Felecia Gaston founded Performing Stars of Marin (PSM), a Marin City-based nonprofit with a mission to give local youth access to the arts regardless of race, background or family income. As a young girl growing up in Georgia, she recalls peering out of her mother’s car window and seeing young white girls in ballet leotards. “I remember thinking, ‘I want to do that,’ but I knew not to ask because of the color of my skin. Can you imagine what that felt like?” She was finally able to take ballet lessons at age 14. ✨ Performing Stars of Marin — By the Numbers ✨ 3️⃣5️⃣ years of serving youth from all parts of Marin 6️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ Marin youth have gone through the Performing Arts program since its inception in 1990 9️⃣5️⃣ ％ of the program’s alumni graduate from high school 2️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ public performances by Performing Stars groups at July 4 parades, fairs, senior centers, holiday events, toy drives, MLK Day events and much more ＄2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ is the goal for Performing Stars of Marin's current capital campaign for program expansion and a new headquarters ✍️ @donnaberryglass 📷 One of the first groups of Performing Stars, circa 1990.

Over every school year for the past 14 years, Tibu Over every school year for the past 14 years, Tiburon’s Kathy McLeod has developed a routine. She rises early, wrestles a yellow safety vest over her day’s attire and heads out to do her best to see that hundreds of elementary and middle school children make it to school safely. Then, six hours later, her concern is that these same kids make it home without incident or accident. Her start came in 2011 when her son was attending Tam Valley Elementary and the school’s crossing guard was hit by a car and hospitalized. As fate would have it, it was McLeod’s day for parent traffic duty, so she just naturally stepped up to serve as a replacement crossing guard and, thinking it a volunteer position, worked that entire week. Only later did she learn it was a paid position and that district officials felt she was so good at it she was offered a paid crossing guard position. McLeod soon became a supervisor where she is now responsible for recruiting, training and managing 25 crossing guards at high-traffic intersections in Southern Marin. Similar supervisors are responsible for a like number of crossing guards (and school children) in Ross Valley, San Rafael and Novato. Read more in bio 🔗 Who's your local crossing guard? Give them a shoutout below! ✍️ Jim Wood #marinmagazine #marincounty #crossingguard #tiburon #sanrafael #rossvalley #novato
