We are deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Mayor Barry Whitly. 💔

He was more than a leader, he was a friend to our community and a true supporter of our children. We will always remember the time he spent reading to our kids at City Hall, sharing his heart and helping inspire young minds.

Mayor Whitly will forever be a part of the Family Connections family, and his kindness and impact will not be forgotten.

Please keep his family and the Butler community in your thoughts and prayers. 🤍

A day planted with purpose… and picked full of smiles 🍓✨

Taylor County Family Connection was proud to host a berry exciting field trip at The Strawberry Patch at Taylor Orchards in partnership with Taylor County Primary School and the Reynolds Woman’s Club. With 85+ first graders joining us, the day was bursting with hands-on fun—picking fresh strawberries 🍓, enjoying sweet ice cream 🍦, and diving into stories that brought learning to life 📚.

These bright young minds showed off their creativity through “life cycle of a strawberry” projects—proving they’re growing just as beautifully as the berries themselves 🌱➡️🍓. A few even took home some big winnings 💵 for their impressive knowledge!

And just when we thought it couldn’t get any sweeter… a special appearance by Patch and Miss Georgia Strawberry Queen added that extra sparkle to an already unforgettable day 👑✨

We were honored to welcome Congressman Sanford D. Bishop Jr. to City of Reynolds today as part of his agricultural tour, with a stop at the The Strawberry Patch at Taylor Orchards 🍓

During his visit, Congressman Bishop spent time listening to our local farmers, engaging in meaningful conversations, and addressing important concerns impacting our agricultural community. It was a productive time filled with thoughtful questions, shared insight, and collaboration.

President Becky Forbes and Vice President Tamike Harris had the opportunity to personally thank Congressman Bishop for his continued support for the Literacy Matters funding that has made a lasting impact right here in our community. Because of this support, Family Connection has been able to create meaningful, locally inspired books that celebrate our community and encourage young readers. 📚

We are truly grateful for his investment in both our farmers and our future generations.

✨📚 A Story as Special as She Is 📚✨

We are so proud to share “Reagan’s Special Crescent Moons”at Taylor County Primary School - a sweet, uplifting book created by Taylor County Family Connection that tells the story of one incredibly brave girl. While most people have blood cells shaped like little doughnuts 🍩, Reagan’s are shaped more like tiny bananas… or as we like to call them, her special crescent moons 🌙✨

Through every twist, turn, and tough day, Reagan shows us what true strength looks like—with a smile, a sparkle, and a whole lot of courage. This book gently shares her journey in a way that’s full of heart, hope, and just the right touch of magic 💫

Because being different? That’s what makes her extraordinary. 💛
