Penny Sugar, Development Director for VGTI (Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute), was the 2011 Keynote Speaker for the Circle of Scholars reception. She is pictured here with Board Member Larry Crary. Ms. Sugar told the Nina Haven scholars, "I like to say that VGTI stands for Very Good Things in Store, and that is true for all of you. You have gotten through the first hurdle. There are more hurdles to come. Your future is up to you." She also advised the scholars to stay in touch because there are more and more opportunities developing on the Treasure Coast for educated young people. "We'd like to have you back some day to work with us," she said. "And you can bring your laundry home."
