AMERICANISM:

G TO WAVE~ Giving 3x5 American flgas to kids at parades, festivals or school assemblies. the FREEDOM SHRINE~ Displaying reproductions of historic documents relating to the creation of our great nation and the freedoms we enjoy. They may be found in schools, parks or other public places. PROUDLY WE HAIL~ Recognizing a local business who flies the flag every day with dignity and respect. ONE NATION UNDER GOD~ Sharing with others a belief that there truly is a higher power. COMMUNITY SERVICE:

Projects to recognize outstanding law enforcement officers and firefighters Including the Book of Golden Deeds, which honors selfless volunteers. YOUTH PROJECTS:

Youth of the Month/Year recognized high school students for their academic record and volunteer efforts. The ACE Award honors students who overcome personal or physical challenges to complete high school. Local winners are submitted for competition that could lead to a $10,000 scholarship on the national level. Other activities include Young Citizenship Awards to middle school students. CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION:

Clubs are encouraged to seek out local agencies that care for abused children and their families. Support may include providing holiday shopping trips, outings to the zoo or theme park or establishing a Child Abuse Prevention Center.

Community Spotlight at Our May 28 Meeting!

We were honored to welcome Officer Steve Marlow of the Fort Walton Beach Police Department as our guest speaker this week. Officer Marlow delivered an eye‑opening and engaging discussion on local gang activity, breaking down how criminal groups in smaller rural communities operate very differently from those in major metropolitan areas. His insights helped our members better understand both the unique blessings of living in this area and the importance of staying aware and informed.

He also extended a warm invitation for our members — and the public — to stop by the Police Department and say hello to the team and to Milo, their long‑time and much‑loved service dog.

Officer Marlow fielded a ton of great questions and left us all with a deeper appreciation for the work our officers do every day to keep our community safe.

💙 Thank you, Officer Marlow, for your service, your time, and your commitment to protecting Fort Walton Beach.
