Welcome to today’s show! There are families that come to mind when you think about working together in unison, toward a cause. Of course, there are famous ones, like the Osmond family, the Jackson family, in the entertainment industry or perhaps the sports families like Venus & Serena Williams.
Then sometimes those special families who work so well together are living right next door! My guests today (with an “s”) are one of those families, who make you smile when you hear their story or, even better, see them in action! I am sure that many of you have heard about the Spivey family, not only because of their long connection to the area, but because they are kind, compassionate and enterprising, and always looking for ways to serve their neighbors.
You will hear Melinda’s story, how she and husband Dr. Jerry Spivey were “lured” to the lake area, plus the stories of how Sarah, Luke & Daniel started their individual craft businesses and now work it together, as a family. Whether creating one of a kind jewelry, candles from repurposed wine bottles or goat milk soap, this family is non-stop! And the best part of the story is how they support local organizations that are important to them, such as the St. Mary’s Good Samaritan Hospital, local pregnancy centers and many more. They even open their home for fashion & jewelry shows and fundraisers on a regular basis.
You will be touched by the story of this family and the work they are doing together!

Lure of the Lake
Lake Oconee, Georgia, located halfway between Augusta and Atlanta, is a man-made paradise with incredible beauty that makes it a great vacation destination for people of all ages. More than that, though, it's a community for those that are looking for a peaceful life filled with nature and beauty.
I, myself, am a member of that community. I moved to Reynolds in 2020 and started to hear the incredible stories of its residents. Join me, now, as we take a plunge into some fascinating stories of the many well-lived lives of our community and learn why they were Lured to the Lake.
