For over 50 years, David has learned this treasure trove of folklore directly from musical greats of the Carolinas like Doc Watson, Etta Baker, Earl Scruggs (the oldest person in the world, 123-year-old Susie Brunson) and even the great Dizzy Gillespie. With photographs, music, stories and humor David, Josh and Zeb present the traditional music from the Blue Ridge to the Low Country. A fascinating evening for everyone.

4th Annual Holiday Food Drive Begins November 1

The 4th Annual SIPOA sponsored Holiday Canned Food Drive begins on Friday, November 1.

We have a very ambitious goal this year of 7,500 pounds.

One way to make our own holiday celebrations even more meaningful is to help make the season enjoyable for those neighbors in need on Johns Island, Wadmalaw Island and James Island. When you go grocery shopping, we ask that you grab a couple extra cans of food, or better yet, a couple extra cases for our neighbors in need.

As an extra incentive to be extra generous, we’ll be handing out colorful wristbands that will designate the number of pounds you donated. Donate 15 lbs. (about 3 cases) and you will receive a gray wristband, 30 lbs. (about 6 cases) for a blue one and 50 lbs. (8-10 cases) to receive a red wristband. To get the wristband, please bring your cases in together and during staffed Lake House hours.

Don’t forget, canned foods only (no glass) and please check the expiration dates on all your cans before donating. Proteins like tuna, salmon, and chicken, and complete meals like hearty soup, stew and chili are especially appreciated.

Please bring your contributions to The Lake House and place them behind the pillar under the “NEW DONATIONS” sign. We will weigh them before they are added to the cans on display and give you your well-earned wristband. Let’s get excited about watching the cans grow into a mountain overflowing with canned goods.

Together we CAN fight hunger!!

Town of Seabrook Island Municipal Election: Candidate for Town Council – Patricia Fox

Pat Fox Patricia and John Fox moved to the Lowcounty in 1976. Pat was introduced to Seabrook Island that same year while working for a local advertising agency. Pat and her husband have a long relationship with the island. They owned a Fiddlers Cove townhouse in the late 1980’s and returned in 2008 when they moved into their permanent home on Seabrook Island Road.

After becoming a full time resident, Pat continued to work as the Dean of the Film, Media and Visual Arts Division at Trident Technical College until 2017. Since retiring, she has joined the Tidelines team as both an editor and graphic designer. She is also a member the Seabrook Island Green Space Conservancy Board where she has used her skills to create a new SIGSC website as well as design all the printed material for the annual gala and fall newsletter.

Pat decided to run for town council because she wants to help preserve the quality of life on Seabrook Island. This includes not only the well-being of the residents but also the conservation of our natural resources. Having lived in the Charleston area for more than 40 years, she is keenly aware the challenges that face our community. She feels that her communication and collaborative management skills combined with her prior experience working with state and federal agencies will be useful for working on the Town Council.

Tina Mayland November Artist of the Month

Please visit the gallery of the Lake House during the month of November to enjoy Tina’s latest exhibit of her paintings.

Tina Mayland is an oil painter whose work can also be found in the Wells Gallery at The Sanctuary on Kiawah Island or at www.WellsGallery.com. She has been teaching Art Classes for the Kiawah Island Golf Resort and has studied domestically and internationally in France, Italy, England and the Caribbean under numerous nationally-known artists.

Tina has served on the Board of Directors of the Charleston Art Guild. She is a native Charlestonian for whom the Lowcountry of South Carolina is as close to paradise as any place on earth. “My grandparents owned a farm on Wadmalaw Island, just outside of Charleston. As a child, I built forts in live oak trees, played in the pluff mud of the marshes, and galloped my horse through Lowcountry forests. Capturing the essence of that landscape in my art is a way of recapturing the joys of my youth.”

A recovering workaholic, Tina is reveling in her “rewired” life. Says she, “I’m testament to the fact that you can go home again and that the post-career stage can be the most fulfilling”. Tina can be reached at her website www.TinaMaylandArt.com or at her email Tina@TinaMaylandArt.com.
