Lost Corner Preserve

The magical flashing at dusk is a sure sign summer has arrived and the fireflies are back! Did you know that Georgia is home to more than 50 species of firefly, more than any other U.S. state? However, that twinkling has diminished in recent years. Light pollution, pesticide use, and habitat loss all contribute to firefly decline. Come join us as Roseanne Guerra, Master Naturalist and Nature Educator explores the importance of fireflies and how we can make our yards a welcoming habitat for these amazing insects! FREE! All are welcome. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Register at the link so we know how many to expect. Carpool if coming with a friend.

Indian Hills Country Club

<a href="https://crosbydesigngroup.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Crosby Design Group</a>, an all-women-owned and operated design firm based in Sandy Springs, is playing a key role in supporting <a href="https://sunshineonaranneyday.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Sunshine on a Ranney Day</a>, a nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of children with special needs through custom home renovations that create safe, accessible, and joy-filled spaces.
That partnership will be on full display at Sunshine on a Ranney Day’s 5th Annual Golf Tournament, taking place on Monday, May 18, 2026, at Indian Hills Country Club. The event will bring together local businesses, community members, and supporters for a full day of connection and purpose, beginning with a 7:00 AM registration, 10:00 AM tee time, and concluding with a banquet.
What makes this event especially compelling is the intersection of mission and leadership. Crosby Design Group’s all-women team exemplifies how women in business are not only shaping their industry, but also driving meaningful change in their communities. Through their support of Sunshine on a Ranney Day, they are helping create spaces that restore independence and dignity for children and families navigating complex medical needs.
The tournament has grown into a cornerstone fundraising event for the organization and will also honor the legacy of Brent Aronson, whose vision helped build it into the impactful community gathering it is today. Many of the children and families served by the nonprofit will be present, offering a powerful, firsthand look at the difference this work makes.
This story offers a unique opportunity to highlight women-led leadership, local community engagement, and the tangible impact of philanthropy—all through the lens of a golf event that brings people together for a greater purpose.
