Derlie M. Bland Memorial Children’s Reading Room and Garden Fund

As the wife of a U.S. Naval officer, Derlie Bland traveled the world, visiting many places she had read about as a child.  Throughout her travels she always held a special place in her heart for her hometown of Baxley, Georgia, where she was born on a farm in 1913.  The second oldest of ten children, Derlie Bland discovered early that she loved being surrounded by children, especially when reading books aloud to them.

Raymond & Elizabeth Baumel and Abernathy Fund for Animal Welfare gives again....


For forty years as owner of Sadye's, located in downtown Brunswick and later on St. Simons Island, Raymond Baumel helped to advise and clothe local fashionable women. To them he was the arbiter of good taste, quiet elegance, and style. He and his wife Elizabeth traveled the world in search of new styles and jewelry to bring back to the women of the Golden Isles. The Baumels had a succession of Yorkshire Terriers - each one, in his time, a permanent fixture at Raymond's feet at the store.
