🎉🎁 Ribbon Cutting Celebration: Toys for Tots! 🎁🎉
Yesterday, we were excited to host a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating Toys for Tots, a program of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve dedicated to bringing joy and hope to children in need during the holiday season! ❤️
Each year, Toys for Tots collects new, unwrapped toys during October, November, and December and distributes them as Christmas gifts to children in need throughout our community.
Kathy Cummings, who represents Toys for Tots in Putnam and Baldwin counties, is already looking ahead to make this year a huge success for our Lake Country community! She is seeking local businesses to serve as toy drop-off locations, volunteers to help with the campaign, and support to connect local children with holiday donations.

Here's how you can help!
🧸 Donate new, unwrapped toys.
🏪 Become a local toy collection drop-off site.
🙌 Volunteer your time to support the campaign.
❤️ Help spread the word and bring smiles to local children!

📩 Want to get involved or learn more? Contact the Baldwin & Putnam County Toys for Tots Team at [email protected]

📣 LEADERSHIP PUTNAM CLASS OF 2027 WEEKEND RETREAT

This weekend, our Leadership Putnam Class of 2027 spent time learning, connecting, and growing together while exploring ideas and best practices from other communities that can inspire growth and progress right here in Putnam County! 🤝💡

🏙️ The group heard from Monroe city officials and Chamber representatives, followed by Chad Draper of Eulalia Group, who shared the story of Monroe’s revitalization and the importance of balancing historic preservation with new development. Chad also led a walking tour to show the class how local businesses and development projects are making an impact in the community.

🧠 The weekend continued with a DISC workshop led by Robbie King and fun team-building activities with the Rock Eagle staff. The class also heard from AJ Nugent, who shared his experience with Leadership Putnam and how the program helped him grow, build connections, and strengthen his passion for business and the Putnam County community.

💡 The class also made time to brainstorm ideas for its group project and work together toward a common goal.

It was a great weekend filled with learning, teamwork, and new ideas! We’re excited to see what the Class of 2027 accomplishes together. 💙🙌
