Your Weekly Putnam County Guide: Events, Eats, and Hidden Gems (Apr 8)

🤔 Quick Question: Would You Support Local Non-Profits While Saving on Travel?

We're exploring a new way to fund local causes and need your input!

We're considering a program that would direct substantial funding to our Putnam County non-profits each month while offering you valuable travel and shopping discounts in return for your support.

Here's how it would work:

❤️ Local Impact First: 50% of your membership ($99.50) goes directly to a featured local non-profit each month

🏠 Supporting Organizations Like:

• Putnam County Food Pantry

• Putnam County Senior Center

• Putnam County Habitat for Humanity

• And many more local organizations making a difference right here

✈️ Thank You Benefits: As a thank you for your support, you'd receive access to exclusive discounts on hotels, dining, and entertainment nationwide

Your $199 annual membership would direct nearly $100 directly to local causes while potentially saving you hundreds on travel and everyday purchases. But most importantly, it would create a sustainable funding source for the organizations that make our community stronger.

We'll only move forward if enough community members express interest in supporting local causes this way.

Thank you for helping us find new ways to strengthen Putnam County!
