Dear Friends,
Over the last two months, one of the Land Trust's top priorities has been to show extra support to the community and to our friends, neighbors, and
preservation partners. We did this through weekly emails and social media posts highlighting different
1% for St. Simons participating businesses and their offerings during the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the shelter-in-place orders are lifted and our island community begins to feel "normal," this added support remains one of our top priorities. Going forward, however, the Land Trust will be featuring our 1% partners in
groupings. This will allow us to highlight multiple businesses at once and encourage members and followers to
KEEP IT LOCAL.

“My wife, Delaine, and I moved to St. Simons in 2002 because of the natural beauty of the island. We want to help retain the island close to what it was when we moved here nearly 20 years ago.”
-- Robert Haulbrook,
Owner of Planters Exchange

As one customer described it,
Two Friends is "the type of store you walk in, throw your arms open wide and exclaim...I want everything!" It is a shop that showcases an impeccable mix of
clothing,
shoes,
jewelry,
art,
home accessories, and
gifts.
“Although 1% seems so small at the time, it’s amazing how quickly it adds up and can make an impact on preserving our island…and for that reason Two Friends is excited to participate.”
