There's nothing like moving into a brand-spanking-new home. Even after you've done it once or twice, the excitement is still catchy. Just ask Kelly Stamback Lindquist.
As a program executive with the YMCA of South Hampton Roads, Lindquist has been charged with organizing and opening more than one new YMCA. Two years ago she helped the Portsmouth location get up and running, and now she's got the job of organizing and opening yet another YMCA in Hilltop.
``It's new and fresh and exciting,'' Lindquist said. ``Just like a new house.''
