🔊 SOUND ON

Hearing from parents about the impact MTD has had on their child means everything. We’re grateful to be part of each young lady’s growth, confidence, and journey 💛

✨What makes @mtdistinction so special?
✨Why was it founded?
✨Meaning of Distinction

Developing our young ladies is necessary - they are our future entrepreneurs, professors, trade workers, mothers, professionals, wives, friend, coworkers, mentors…ultimately, members of our community! We are molding a healthy community and we can’t do this work alone.

Thank you @thewalnutclub for listening, supporting, and donating to @mtdistinction to help us continue this work!

THE WALNUT CLUB BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION! ✨🥂

What an incredible night! 💛 This past Friday, we gathered at The Wine Garden to celebrate The Walnut Club’s 11th birthday, toast to our growing community, and make a meaningful impact together.

A huge thank-you to everyone who came out and helped make the evening so special! We officially SOLD OUT and surpassed 70 members — such an exciting milestone for our growing community! 🥂✨

A special thank-you to our president, Jenn Nagel, for her leadership and for bringing us together for such a memorable celebration. And a big shoutout to Jacqueline Pirtle, our Event Board Chair, for all the hard work, thought, and care she put into making this event happen! ❤️ We’re also grateful to the rest of our board for the time and support they contribute to making The Walnut Club such a special community.

Thank you to The Wine Garden for hosting us for a wonderful evening of wine, charcuterie, cake, and a special wine demonstration. 🍷

One of the most meaningful highlights of the evening was our first-ever silent auction, benefiting Make the Distinction (MTD) and its programming for young women. Together, we raised $745, and with Jenn’s generous personal contribution of $55, brought the total to $800 toward a program that costs approximately $1,000! 💛

👏 A huge thank-you to Kim for organizing our first silent auction, to IntePros for their generous $200 donation, and to everyone who participated and helped make this possible. Congratulations to our auction winners, Liv and Emily!

We’re proud to support Make the Distinction, whose work empowers young women and helps them build brighter futures. ✨ Learn more about their mission at www.makethedistinction.org.

From celebrating another year of Walnut to growing our membership and giving back to a meaningful cause, this night was a beautiful reminder of what happens when an incredible community comes together.

Here’s to another year of connection, collaboration, celebration, and making a difference! 🥂💛

Our first LOD outing at @timemission was all about teamwork and leadership in action! 💪🏾

A natural & fun environment for our girls to step up, speak up, listen, problem-solve, and work together toward a common goal.

These experiences reinforce the importance of leadership development and team dynamics—skills that extend far beyond the activity and into everyday life!

We still have a few spots available! Registration for our Fall Leaders of Distinction program has been extended to October 15th!

📸 It’s about that time…. 40 Shots for $40 is back!

I received headshots from @allmoneyshots a few years ago and I was IMPRESSED! The quality of the pics, the energetic vibes and the team making me feel comfortable (bc I don’t know how to act in front of the camera 😂). Can’t wait to get my updated pics done this month. 🤩

Schedule with @allmoneyshots to get yours this month.
➡️ Make sure to mention “Alex” in the comment section when you book!
