The creation of a Putnam County Veterans Wall of Honor, recognizing all armed services veterans whenever and wherever they have served, who reside or have resided in Putnam has been undertaken by The American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. There is no site recognizing, by name, veterans who are serving, or who have served in the Armed Forces.

The Wall of Honor will include several walls displaying brick tiles indicating the name, service, war and/or dates of service of those who wish to be recognized, the crests of the five armed services, flag poles and appropriate landscaping. A joint project team has begun implementation of this initiative with plans to complete it with a dedication at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 11.

To purchase a brick tile in honor of a Putnam County veteran or to make a charitable donation to this effort to honor local veterans, visit www.pcgaveteranshonor.com for more information.

Freedom in Motion – Rhythmic Dance:  An innovative style of dance that allows the body to move freely, rather than being confined by specific dance steps. More than just dance, moving freely to music opens a channel for self-expression in a way few other things do. It moves blocked energy, increases flexibility and mobility, improves circulation, and quiets the mind allowing the heart to freely express in a joyful manner.  Some call it “meditation in motion.” Although very therapeutic, rhythmic dance is also abundantly fun and exhilarating! Join us for one of the most extraordinary experiences you may ever have on a dance floor. Everyone of any age or gender is welcome. Yes, that means you guys too!

Freedom in Motion is one component of an innovative new wellness program called Free to Be Me, Creative Wellness Experience, now being offered in the Lake Area. 

Dance sessions will be held every Thursday evening from 6:30pm-8:30pm, beginning January 16
