Whitemarsh Island Community Club

Update on Whitmarsh Island Community Club Property.
First I would like to thank everyone for your support and help. It has been a challenge but I think everyone will be happy with the result.

Chatham County now holds the deed to the Community Club property and it will keep the name of Whitemarsh Island Community Club Park.The 2 acre plot will remain intact and modernized for use as a community park and recreational resource. Representatives of the Parks and Recreation Department are assessing the condition of the building and will be making the entrances and bathrooms handicap accessible. They are developing plans for renovation and will hold a community meeting once they have something to share. There will be some community input at that time. Stay posted.

Hello everyone. We have an update!
We are getting our community park. Mr. Bobby Lockett (our county commissioner) called me yesterday and it has been approved!
We need to acquire some legal representation in order to move forward. Someone that is able to advise and help us obtain a clear deed. If you know someone who would be willing and is able to help (preferably pro bono) please message me.

Whitemarsh Island Community Club Meeting. October 19th at 6pm. at the community club. we will bring you up to date of the progress we have made. Looking forward to seeing you there.

We have a tree down in the driveway. Is there anyone who could cut it up before Thursday so the county can pick it up. Thank you

The garden is really looking beautiful. You too can have a plot and grow your own!

Dear Members
Recently, an individual approached me regarding the long term rental of the club house on Penrose.
I think this will work for us but we need to have a meeting for everyone attending to express their feelings.
Will you please meet at the club house this Thursday, October 24,at 6PM, for a discussion regarding deposit amount, monthly rental amount, and anything else you want to bring up.

Thanks,
Bob Joyner
President

As many of you know the Little Red School house has now moved to a new location. We need to come together as a community to decide what that property can be used for now. I want to make sure the property stays part of our community!!! It’s a great field and a great space that can be used kids, family, and pets. If the property is rented out, there is tables and chairs that can be used in the shed.
The land is maintained by the Chatham County Parks and Rec Department. The grass and property will continued to be maintained once every two weeks.
Topics to be discussed:
TAXES: We need to continue to receive and income. This can be done by someone renting out the property and/or dues being paid.
BOARD MEMBERS: If you are interested in becoming a board member (Volunteer Work) please contact me at 912-856-5654. We need people that have time to collect dues, plan events, and handle/promote rentals.
Positions that need to be filled: Secretary and Vice President

We need our community to come together and keep this space ours.
Thank you,
Ariel Boylan
President of the Whitemarsh Island Community Center
