Westonwood Ranch, a non-profit organization, offers transitional programs for teens & young adults with autism and developmental disorders with an emphasis on job training.

October 16, 2024, is the members-only Holiday Bazaar Pre-Sale at Cantina Laredo in Miramar Beach, Florida. The fourth annual Holiday Bazaar on November 2, 2024 is also at Cantina Laredo in Miramar Beach. The November Bazaar is GTGC’s biggest scholarship fundraiser of the year, featuring beautiful hand-crafted trees, garland, handmade cards, art, jewelry and much more. The event is open to the public and admission is free.

The holiday party will be at the Royal Palm Grille in Miramar Beach on December 12th. Attendees will have an opportunity to support Walton County Sheriff’s Santa Patrol and a deserving Habitat for Humanity family while mingling with friends, enjoy fine fare and admiring the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. GTGC Members are very much appreciated for their generous donations to these worthy causes every year.
