New Medicare Cards in the Mail
Many of you may have received this notice. We are reprinting it on Tidelines to remind you to keep an eye out for it. As stated, it will take about a month for everyone to receive their new Medicare card. If you do not get yours, contact Medicare to make sure it hasn’t gotten lost in the mail.
Keep an eye on your mailbox — we’re starting to mail new Medicare cards in South Carolina!
Now that card mailings have started in your state, it’ll take at least a month to finish. So you might get your new Medicare card at a different time than friends or neighbors in your area.
One tip: if you have a MyMedicare.gov account, you can sign in and see when your new card has been mailed. Don’t have a MyMedicare.govaccount yet? It’s easy to sign up — just visit MyMedicare.gov. It’s a free, secure way for you to access your personal Medicare-related information.
Wondering what’s new? The new cards are still paper, but they look a little different. The biggest change is that your new card will have a new Medicare Number that’s unique to you, instead of a Social Security Number. This will help protect your identity. Though you’ll have a new card, rest assured your Medicare coverage and benefits will stay the same.

Walter Czander Artist of the Month for September
In September, the Seabrook Island Artist Guild will showcase one of its long-time and most active members, Walter Czander. We hope that everyone will join us for a wine and cheese reception in the front hall of the Lake House on Saturday, September 1, 2018 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm.
Walter’s passion for art started in high school and was nurtured by Margaret Sullivan, a renowned artist and instructor. After a career in engineering that focused on the planning, concept and design of buildings for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, he retired to Seabrook and pursued his early dream of becoming an artist. Walter paints a variety of subjects in oils, acrylics, and watercolors. His approach is to study paintings by renowned artists such as Turner, Homer and Manet and incorporate some of their styles into his paintings of the low country.
As a member of the Artist Guild since 2007, Walter has organized and directed the hanging of the art displays at the Lake House and the classes taught by fellow guild members.
Walter’s paintings will be on display in the front hall of the Lake House during the month of September.

Early Charleston History Focus of SINHG Evening Program
The Seabrook Island Natural History Group begins its autumn series of evening programs on September 13th at the Lake House with a discussion of Charleston’s first two hundred years presented by Katherine Pemberton of the Historic Charleston Foundation.
Charleston’s growth as a major port and cultural center survived two hundred years of social and political upheaval, not to mention the Revolutionary and Civil wars. Ms. Pemberton’s presentation, “From Walled City to Reconstruction,” will use period maps and illustrations to outline this dynamic period in the city’s history.
Ms. Pemberton is Manager of Research and Education at Historic Charleston Foundation, whose staff she joined in 1996. She is also an adjunct professor for the Clemson/College of Charleston graduate program in Historic Preservation and has served as co-chair of the Mayor’s Walled City Task Force. Her principal research interest has been the fortifications of colonial Charles Towne.
SINHG Evening Programs will continue in October with “The History of John’s Island” presented by popular historian Doug Bostik, and in November with “Carolina Maroons – Exiles Of Slavery” with Ed West of the Summerville-Dorchester Museum. All Seabrook Island residents and their guests are welcome to attend. There is a $5 charge for non-SINHG members. Visit the SINHG website for more information about membership.

Artist Guild Show and Fundraiser Sep 2
The Seabrook Island Artist Guild will hold its third annual fundraiser to support the art program at St. John’s High School with the cooperation of distinguished watercolorist Mary Whyte who will match all donations. The show will be held on the green at Kiawah Freshfields Village. Seabrook artists and photographers will exhibit their art and demonstrate their painting talents throughout the day.
Artists will donate 10% of their sale proceeds to the St. John’s High School art program. In addition, we will accept any cash donations to support this very worthy cause. Last year, $2000 was donated to St. John’s High School’s art program thanks to the generosity of Seabrook Island artists and Mary Whyte’s matching funds. The Guild’s donation allowed art students at St John’s to increase their breadth and depth of experiences in painting, drawing, printmaking and ceramic techniques.
We invite everyone to view beautiful paintings and stunning photography, meet our artists, watch them create their unique pieces, and be a part of helping local students experience artistic creation through their school program.
For more information on the Seabrook Island Artist Guild, its workshops, classes, and guest artists’ demonstrations, please visit our website here.
