Happy Anniversary to President and Mrs. Carter. 77 years!

Excited to share that Laura Spencer will be joining the William G. and Marie Selby Foundation board of directors on August 1, 2023. In addition to her 40-year career as a CPA and a respected professional, Laura has humility, humanity and social responsibility at her core--three Foundation values.

Say hello to my little friend

Our Future Leaders Academy Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation Scholars learned all about the fantastic resources and tools available at college libraries that'll benefit their current and future education. TY 26WestCenter for hosting us, SCF Library staff & Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation for your continuous support.

We are LOVING the energy here! Thank you The Patterson Foundation for bringing us together to be in community as we “Dive Into Discovery” and celebrate aspirations of DeSoto County residents. We’re honored to be part of it.

Thankful for a wonderful evening at DeSoto Solutions to Action: Dive Into Discovery. 50 organizations were on hand sharing resources w/ nearly 400 guests. Much gratitude to each of these individuals, presenters, volunteers and The Patterson Foundation for making this a night to remember.

Much gratitude to these foundation representatives who attended DeSoto "Solutions to Actions" Dive Into Discovery. These organizations are providing support to DeSoto that will have a long lasting impact. We can’t thank you enough for investing in our community. The Patterson Foundation

I confess to much FOMO on covering the collapse of the House of Representatives but Tierney Sneed and I are working on a new project named Rory. Will return to work (as consensus Speaker) in a couple of months.

My friend Tim Dorsey was one of those rare people who's as funny in person as he was on the page. In 26 books about #Florida-obsessed "sequential killer" Serge Storms, he taught us what an amazing state we live in & what should befall those who'd ruin it. #RIP Tim, 62.

Congraulations SelbyGardens! Yet another example of our amazing community. shorturl.at/BVt2w
