We had a wonderful time yesterday celebrating Curt Johnson and his eleven years of dedicated service to Martin County as the Director of the Martin County Community Foundation. Members of the community stopped by to express their appreciation of Curt, illustrating his positive impact. We have enjoyed working with Curt and will miss him, but we understand he has some golfing to do! We wish Curt all the best.

Congratulations to our 2026 Lilly Scholar, Olivia “Libby” Taylor!

Libby and her family, along with MCCF Board members, enjoyed a cake and punch reception to honor Libby. Libby, a senior at Loogootee Community Schools, is a very talented young lady academically and has notably spent many years in the performing arts. She will undoubtedly represent Loogootee and Martin County very well. She is furthering his education at Butler University to pursue a degree in Finance. We wish Libby the best!
