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. 

We are pleased to announce that applications for our 2023 College Scholarships opened March 1, 2023.

All scholarship applications are due by 5:00pm on April 7, 2023.
