Our Chamber community lost two beloved leaders recently. Our hearts ache for their families and swell with gratitude for their many contributions to Kingsland.
Mina Martin served on the Chamber and Keep Kingsland Beautiful boards, organized cleanups, donated staff time to clean up the Park, and made the beautiful Cedar Skies Barn at Log Country Cove available to the Chamber and many other community non-profits. A more complete tribute is here.
Kevin Todd, whose son Mitch is on the Chamber Board, was always ready to sponsor events and provide support. He mentored his employees as if they were his sons and left a strong business and legacy of excellence. A more complete tribute is here .
