We have a guest arriving tomorrow who is a teacher. He is bringing “a ton of supplies for those affected by the floods that the students in my kids classes have donated.” Any thoughts on who might be collecting?
Many thanks,

My husband, Kevin Johnson, and I moved to Seabrook Island this summer from Johns Island. We also have an office above the Heritage Restaurant/Reflections Nail Salon. We would like to make it easy for Seabrookers to donate gently used items to flood victims by collecting donations at our office on Thursday 10/8. We will deliver all items collected to shelters and flood relief centers. We are also looking into information for large donations (appliances and furniture) so you can post on Tidelines.
For drop offs, the office can be found by parking behind the Heritage Restaurant. There is a small wood deck with a door upstairs, we will ensure the door has easy to read signage. The address is below for mapping. Any questions please dial Kevin Johnson at 843-367-3580.

When you first moved to Seabrook, or bought property here, did you wish you had some assistance in transitioning into your new community? Well, here is your opportunity to help others.
SIPOA is looking for volunteers to participate in a program directed at all new Seabrook residents and property owners in an effort to familiarize them with our lovely community. The newly formed Orientation Committee will consist of volunteers who will attempt to contact all new residents and property owners to provide them with an introduction and orientation to Seabrook Island. All volunteers will be provided with tools to help in the familiarization process, including a Welcome Package prepared by SIPOA, talking points, and a summary of key rules. Volunteers can use this information, along with their own wealth of experience, when they reach out and attempt to contact new members of our community.
Sound like fun? If you are interested and would like to volunteer, please contact Janet Gorski at gorskijw@gmail.com.
