Here are the top three stories in Savannah today:

1. Gateway Terminals handled the first container moved under the direction of Gateway in Savannah. The president of Gateway Terminals noted that this was "an exciting opportunity to...bring together three great companies and a best-of-class ILA operation into a world-class team." (All On Georgia)
2. The Big Savannah Toy Drive concluded with a finale event for Coastal Children's Advocacy Center. Old Savannah Tours provided a trolley for the event that picked up the donated gifts and dropped them off at The Eichholz Law Firm. Mayor Van Johnson gave a champagne toast and shared his appreciation for those who contributed to the drive. (Savannah Business Journal)
3. The American Vocal Traditions Competition in Savannah was announced for Feb. 21-25, 2022. The competition has attracted talent from all over the nation, and it awards cash prizes totally $35K. (Broadway World)
