Membership & Extensions Month Gil Klemann – Thirteenth Colony Distillers District Governor Blake McBurney New Generations Month No Meeting – Labor Day Ajahnii Lewis – GRSP Student
Thirteenth Colony began as a casual conversation among friends about making moonshine as Christmas gifts for friends, family, and employees. With each product offering they are determined to maintain the Thirteenth Colony commitment to producing only the highest quality, handcrafted spirits. They are committed to offering spirits in the southern tradition of pride in our products, great quality in every bottle, use of local ingredients and a personal and friendly touch in all they do. They began their spirits journey with the intent of making unique distilled spirits as gifts to their friends, their employees and their families. The saying made by friends for friends is more than a saying; it is how their journey in distilled spirits began, it permeates all their business dealings, it guides their product development and tells the essential story of Thirteenth Colony.
