Mary’s “2 minute” acceptance speech is worth a listen 🫶

11/02/2026

Tonight, we had the pleasure of celebrating someone very special to us - Mary Tuma, who was recognized as the 2026 People's Place Volunteer Honoree at the Harvest of Hope celebration! ❤️

Mary, your generosity, kindness and compassion are just a few of the qualities that make you so special. You have such a big heart and a genuine way of making a difference in the lives of others. The time, care and dedication you give to People’s Place and to helping our neighbors truly reflect the person you are. This recognition is so well deserved, and we couldn’t be happier to see you receive it!

Thank you to People’s Place for all you do for our community, to our Ulster County Italian American Foundation members who joined us to celebrate Mary and share in this special evening, and to the Struzzieri family and Blackbarn Hudson Valley for hosting such a wonderful event on a beautiful day.

Mary, we are proud to call you one of our own. Congratulations! You deserve every bit of this recognition. ❤️

Mary said it best: it was sunny inside the barn. 🇮🇹❤️

Our Cultural Barn brought warmth to a rainy festival day, thanks to Mary Tuma and the volunteers who gave their time and heart to sharing our heritage.

The festival is more than a day. It is people planning, preparing, and working together to keep our traditions alive—and this team is a beautiful example.

To everyone who helped bring the Cultural Barn to life on October 11: grazie. You are part of what makes UCIAF so special.
