\nJoselyn was born and raised in San Francisco, California. She graduated early
\nfrom Mission High School in 1974 and went off to the University of California
\nSanta Barbara where she met the love of her life and now husband, Jim. Jim
\nand Joselyn were married in 1976 and lived in various places around the
\ncountry before returning to San Francisco in 1988. Joselyn earned her
\nBachelor of Arts in Sociology from San Francisco State University in 1977.
\nFollowing her graduation she was a District Manager for Wells Fargo for over
\nsix years.
\nIn 1975, while picking her goddaughter up from a half day at Saints Peter and
\nPaul School, she noticed the Salesian Sisters actively playing with the kids in
\nthe yard, jumping rope and playing kickball. She thought to herself, \u201cOne day<\/em>
\nwhen I have kids, they will go to school here.\u201d <\/em>Not only would her daughters,
\nJasmin and Jade, attend school at SSPP, but she would go on to teach there
\nstarting as a substitute in 1989 and then full time from 1990-1994.<\/p>\n
\nJoselyn was an integral part of the early success of The Club. When the
\nSalesian Girls\u2019 Club and the Salesian Boys\u2019 Club merged in 1994, becoming
\nthe Salesian Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Club that we know today, Joselyn was Director of
\nthe Girls\u2019 Club. The first woman in that role since the merge.
\nDuring her career with the Salesian Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Club Joselyn has officially
\nbeen, Director of the Girls\u2019 Club, Programs Director, Day Camp Director and a
\nsewing class instructor. She has also been, a colleague, a mentor, a coach, a
\nfriend, a wife, a mother and an auntie. Joselyn has been dedicated to each role
\nwith a blend of expertise, commitment, loyalty, passion and love.
\nJoselyn\u2019s career at The Club actually began while she was teaching at
\nSSPP. She volunteered for the Salesian Girls\u2019 Club for many years as a
\nvolleyball coach and after school programs fundraising maniac<\/em>. As a Girls\u2019 Club
\nvolunteer she also helped with hot lunches, holiday parties, Salesian Summer
\nDay Camp and Christmas craft fairs. During this time she even volunteered for
\nthe Boys\u2019 Club.\u201cOne day while on lunch duty, Randy DeMartini came up to me<\/em>
\nand asked if I knew any girls that could sing and dance who would be<\/em>
\ninterested in being a part of the Boys\u2019 Club\u2019s variety show. He offered me a<\/em>
\nPanelli sandwich in exchange for my help. I continued to recruit talent and<\/em>
\nsewed the costumes for that variety show until the Clubs\u2019 merged,\u201d Joselyn<\/em>
\nremembers.<\/p>\n
\nencouraged to apply for the Girls\u2019 Club Director position at the new Club by
\nSSPP Principal, Sr. Cecilia Henry. After three interviews with then Executive
\nDirector Russ Gumina, Joselyn was hired. Now, 30 something years later, here
\nwe are.<\/p>\n
\nOnce retired Joselyn plans to enjoy time with her husband, children,
\ngrandchildren and extended family, to sew, to travel and to spend time with
\nfriends. However, when you’re truly a member of the Salesian Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019
\nClub, you never really <\/em>leave. Joselyn plans to continue to teach sewing, serve
\non several committees at The Club and even bring back the infamous Club
\nCanteen. Written by Bridget Veltri, former Club Kid Joselyn\u2019s note:<\/p>\n
\nmy job, or a part of my daily life, it\u2019s a part of who I am.<\/em>
\nWhen I started my career here, then Executive Director Russ Gumina said to<\/em>
\nme, \u201cYour family has to support you in order for you to be successful here.\u201d His<\/em>
\nwords became true, because the Club is so important to me, it has become<\/em>
\nimportant to my family. My family all have volunteered in so many different<\/em>
\nways over the years, from cooking at the (Girls\u2019) Sleep Away Camp, to doing<\/em>
\nIT work at the Club, being counselors at Salesian Day Camp, coaching various<\/em>
\nteams, securing donations and serving and setting up at all our events.<\/em>
\nI want to thank my whole family. My husband Jim, who for 25 years was a<\/em>
\nMartial Arts instructor at The Club. My two daughters, Jasmin and Jade, who<\/em>
\nhave volunteered at the Club since they were old enough to join it. My son in<\/em>
\nlaws, Albert, for always donating Giants gear and tickets for our events and<\/em>
\nMarco, for coaching baseball. My parents, Emma and Salvador. My brothers,<\/em>
\nJoe and Joaquin. My sister in laws, Cora for donating Hello Kitty merchandise<\/em>
\nfor events and filming martial arts demonstrations and variety shows and Lucy,<\/em>
\nwho was a Women\u2019s Dinner Honoree. I also want to thank all of my nieces and<\/em>
\nnephews who have volunteered in various ways throughout the years.<\/em>
\nIt is from the bottom of my heart and with immense gratitude, that I want to say<\/em>
\nthank you to the Salesian Boys\u2019 and Girls\u2019 Club. This is not good-bye, this is<\/em>
\nwhen the fun part begins!<\/em><\/p>\n
