SIV Presents: Getting Your Affairs in Order, A Practical Approach

Seabrook Island Village (SIV) will host an interactive presentation entitled “Getting Your Affairs in Order, A Practical Approach”.

Friday, March 27, 2026
1:00 to 3:00 pm
Live Oak Hall at the Lake House

The event is free of charge, and SIV invites everyone to attend.

“Getting your affairs in order” is a phrase that we usually don’t want to think about, because the phrase itself can bring about fear, anxiety, and worry. Instead of thinking about “the end”, how about working to get our affairs in order before we travel abroad, or before we relocate to another state? It’s true, we’re all busy folks, but it’s possible we put off thinking about “getting our affairs in order” because we don’t know where to start. Once we have our important affairs in order, we may feel relieved knowing that essential items are documented in an orderly manner. 

Join us for an interactive session with Ashley Andrews, JD, of LaFond Law Group. In this session, we will explore a practical approach to getting our affairs in order, covering topics such as assigning power of attorney, tax considerations, healthcare directives, and other important matters.

Ashley focuses her practice on probate and estate matters, guardianship and conservatorship cases, and real estate closings and litigation.

Vote for Best Restored Beach

The American Shore & Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA) is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. To celebrate, they are having a vote to determine the best restored beach among all of the beaches that have received the award. Seabrook Island was awarded the best restored beach in 2016.

Click here or on the image above to vote for Seabrook Island!

For decades, ASBPA has celebrated our nation’s restored beaches to build awareness of their value. The annual Best Restored Beach award honors coastal communities that are both relatively new to the process and those with a long history of successful renourishment projects. In 2023, Coney Island, New York celebrated 100 years of beach nourishment! In many cases, the restoration process is so well established that beachgoers don’t realize they are enjoying a restored beach. In our 100th year, we are hosting a fun competition and invite you to vote for your favorite ASBPA Best Restored Beach. The “Best of the Best” restored beaches will be recognized at our National Coastal Conference in Atlantic City, New Jersey, from October 5-8, 2026.

Shorebird Steward Registration

Seabrook Island Shorebird Steward Training
Saturday, March 7, 2026, 10:00 am– 12:00 pm
Oyster Catcher Community Center

The Seabrook Island Shorebird Stewards perform a significant service to the shorebirds that visit or nest on Seabrook Island. No special skills are needed to be a Shorebird Steward, just a willingness to spend time on the beach interacting with beach walkers. Volunteers spend two-hour shifts on the beach greeting beachgoers and educating them about the shorebirds and how to protect shorebirds from disturbance. The Stewards can be on the beach any day between March 1 and until at least May 25. If shorebirds like the American Oystercatcher, Least Tern, or Wilson’s Plover nest on Seabrook Island, the season may extend through around July 6. Stewards schedule as many, or as few, two-hour shifts as they are willing to work. Each shift can have two people.

The training is for new or returning Shorebird Stewards. The session on Saturday, March 7 is indoors provided by South Carolina Audubon. It teaches why Stewards are so essential and valuable. Participants will learn how to interact with people, be introduced to the educational material available to use while on the beach and discover information about the birds they might see. Additional field training will occur through a process of mentorship with seasoned Stewards.

Teens 14-18 years old may register as shorebird stewards but must be accompanied by a parent while on the beach. Both parent and teen will be required to complete classroom, field training & mentor session.

Please register for training no later than March 3, 2026. All registrants will receive a confirmation letter the day prior the event.

Kiawah Arts Council presents “The Young Firebrands”

Kiawah Arts Council

Join celebrated pianist Andrew Armstrong as he leads the next program of his chamber music series, “Andy & Friends”, at the Seabrook Island House on Tuesday, March 3. For this dynamic installment, Andy is joined by seven outstanding young string players in a program that celebrates bold artistry and rising talent. Not only does Andy bring some of his internationally acclaimed musician friends together, but you’ll likely feel like one of Andy’s friends by the end of each performance! 

The evening pairs the sweeping Piano Quintet of Johannes Brahms with the passionate String Sextet of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Souvenir de Florence. This is chamber music at its most powerful, lyrical, and exhilarating. Andy promises the Tchaikovsky will “set all of South Carolina on fire,” and with this electrifying ensemble, audiences can expect nothing less.

Doors open at 7:00 pm, and the performance begins at 7:30 pm in the Atlantic Ballroom. Click here for tickets and more information.
