The Brown & White pickup is still scheduled for Friday, October 2, despite the rainy conditions.

Furniture, appliances, etc., may be put out curbside (by 7:00 am). Hazardous materials (batteries, paint, etc.) may be brought to the maintenance facility (SBI Rd, behind the Garden Plots) for safe disposal.

What is the purpose of Brown & White pickup?
This pickup is intended for those larger items which are not acceptable for the standard weekly pickup and would normally have to be taken to the County landfill facility on Bees Ferry Road in West Ashley. SIPOA offers this special pickup quarterly, as a convenience to our owners.

What is okay to put out curbside?
Furniture (all sorts), appliances (provided they were not removed as part of a contractor job, see below), lawn equipment, most other large-size goods which would not be acceptable for the regular weekly pickup

What is NOT okay to put out curbside?
– Hazardous waste such as paint, fluorescent lights, and batteries (take these to the maintenance facility on the same day, Priority-1 personnel will be standing by from 7:00-3:00 for collection and safe removal)
– Waste generated by contracted workers in the course of doing a job (contractors are responsible for removing their own project waste, such as carpet, floor boards, cabinets, etc., from Seabrook Island property)

When is the next pickup? 
The next pickup will be scheduled to correspond with the Annual Meeting weekend in February. We move the January pickup to this date because so many owners are on the island, allowing us to offer this service to a wider group.

Starting on Monday, October 5, Boardwalk 2 will be closed for repairs.

The repair work should take approximately 4 weeks and the boardwalk will be reopened in November.  Please access the beach through Boardwalk 1 during this time.

Thank you for your patience as we work to keep our boardwalks in great condition!

The meeting was held 08/14/15 at 2:05 PM at the Seabrook Island Club.

Shawna Jarrett reported on the findings of the SIPOA survey to determine interest in a Seabrook Island App.  The SIPOA function garnering the most interest was Visitor Passes followed by Access the Owner Address Book.   The Club function that was most chosen was Make a Dining Reservation, followed by Reserve a Tee Time.  The Town function that ranked first by a great margin was Emergency Alerts.

Ryan Jones of Charleston Marketing Partners, a guest expert on Website marketing and App Design, outlined key attributes for designing an App, which are outlined in the Meeting Minutes in the Property Owners section of the SIPOA Website.

Jerry Farber discussed key communication provisions of the Seabrook Island  Club’s updated strategic plan.

Kristina Skalak described Seabrook Island Club Website Metrics and announced that a Jonas E3 update to the member part of the Seabrook Island Club Website would roll out this fall.

Dennis Pescitelli reported that Tidelines now has had 1,000 posts and has 845 followers.  The Tidelines Production Team consists of 10 people.   Recently it has added podcasts, which it calls Tidecasting.

Attendees discussed ongoing joint SIPOA and Seabrook Island Club Communications Committee initiatives, which include:

1. Strategic alignment of Club and SIPOA Website access via landing pages and communications activities in order to strengthen the Seabrook Island brand and enhance the visitor experience.
2. A video presentation for the 2016 Annual Meeting with highlights of Seabrook Island activities in 2015.
3. A video streaming initiative highlighting attributes of Seabrook Island as part of a marketing program.
