Landings Landlovers
Enriching the Community We Love
|
|
Welcome to Fall! Our traveling friends return, Island life ramps up, and the weather is glorious. What better way to celebrate than attending the Landlovers Opening Reception, Wednesday, September 28, 4:30-6:30pm at Palmetto Ballroom. Join us to connect with old and new friends and learn about all the activities and events we have planned for the coming year. Admission is FREE and open to all Skidaway Island Residents.
No sign-ups necessary. Renew your membership at the Opening Reception
New Activities this year:
· Shall We Dance – Put your dancing shoes on and learn how to do steps like The Shag, Cha Cha, Disco, or the Two Step. Grab a partner or come as a single and we’ll pair you up.
· Trolley to The Arts – Attend performances in Savannah; we’ll buy group tickets, and provide Trolley transportation into Savannah. How easy is that?
· Modern Bridge – Calling all Bridge enthusiasts looking for new opportunities to play.
Thanks to Marilee Dalbey, Jane Golz, and Marianne Claysmith for starting up these new activities. Anyone else want to start an activity? Contact our Activity Directors Eileen Yost and Judy Faraklas at [email protected]. It’s a great way to get involved and contribute to the community.
· Golf Scramble – There’s still time to sign-up for our first ever golf scramble on Sunday, October, 16th. Click here to register. Email Eileen Yost at [email protected] for more information.
Landlovers welcomed into the St Joseph’s Candler Ambassadors Circle
St Joseph’s recently recognized Landlovers for the Grants given to the Nurse Navigator Program at their annual luncheon. As a thank you we received a fully stocked first aid kit that will now be present at all our events.
Volunteer Spotlight:
Thank you to Liz Sampson who ushered us into the electronic age. In 2018 Liz set up our Event Portal and PayPal links making it easy for our members to sign up and pay online. After 4 years Liz is stepping down and turning everything over to Kerry and John Ufford. Thank you, Liz, – we appreciate your help and guidance! And thank you to Kerry and John for filling her shoes!
Speaking of volunteers – Kenna Kinsey, Website Manager, works behind the scenes updating our website. She is one of our longest serving volunteers – even she can’t remember how long. We’re looking for a volunteer to assist her. Interested in helping? Contact me at [email protected].
Flea Market Pre-Intake
Do you have a car, boat, motorcycle, or other large stuff to donate before Flea Market Intake on March 4-6, 2023. Contact our Flea Market Pre-Intake team at [email protected]. We will put you in touch with a local auction house who will come to your house and pick them up. Net proceeds from the sale of these items benefit the Landlovers Foundation. In the past we’ve been the beneficiary of a motorcycle, car, boat, a fabulous camper, and lots of great furniture. Just another way you can contribute to the organization and help the community.
There are so many ways you can get involved with Landlovers – join us at the Opening Reception to find out more about our fun and fundraising. See you on the 28th.
Best regards,
Chris Lanigan
President
