Member Spotlight

Spotlight Award Winner – Tom Kokinakos, Inspired Catering and Events (Trivia Night Committee)

How did you become involved in MPI?

I was a recipient of the 2020 MPI Grant. I never knew this existed until a member told me about it, so I decided to apply and was granted it.

What has been the most exciting moment or memorable thing that has happened since joining MPI?

Considering I became a member a couple months before everything got shut down … what can be more memorable than that? Exciting? No! Memorable? Yes! What it did bring was a new and exciting way on how to take our current events like trivia and holiday [parties] and turn them into a virtual world. I really did learn a lot this past year being on the Trivia Committee. The other really exciting part was being asked to join the Holiday Party Committee for 2020 and then asked to be a co-chair for the 2021 Holiday Party, while staying active with trivia. It is an honor.

Tell us something unique about you.

Can I change this question a bit? I can’t think of anything unique. Ha! How about something I am passionate about? I am a huge advocate on changing people’s perceptions on Pit Bulls as I have one of my own, and he (Hank) is the most loving and loyal dog ever. Also, adopt don’t shop!
