Things You Should Know |
The next scheduled Board workshop is December 11, 2008. It begins at 8:30 a.m. in the Colleton River Room in Pinckney Hall.
Please understand that placement of these mailboxes is a Postmaster decision and had everything to do with removing them from areas where either the postal workers or those dropping off mail were in high traffic areas and in danger of being in or causing an accident.
After careful review, the Board has accepted the TAC’s recommendation of Wentworth Community Management to manage the community’s website needs in the future. Wentworth’s software, Techcierge, was very impressive and presently features many of the key elements highlighted in the RFP. The Board and I are presently in talks with Wentworth Community Management. We are in the initial development stage of planning for the custom site and preparing for the internal testing soon to follow.
Some residents who are heavy users and actively involved with the current system may be called upon to ‘try out’ the website features during the testing phase. Having these users experience the site hands-on will ensure the new system is both feature rich and user friendly to the community’s demographic.
Until the new website can be implemented, we will retain our present website, serviced by ICI. Please watch for more website updates in the future.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
SUN CITY HILTON HEAD
COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, INC.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2008
BEGINNING AT 10:00 AM
IN PINCKNEY HALL
THE AGENDA WAS
DISTRIBUTED BY TYSK AND IS POSTED ON THE WEBSITE
[e.g.,
www.schhca.org/TYSK/TYSK0412.htm ]
THIS MEETING WILL BE BROADCAST LIVE AND THEN RE-BROADCAST ON CHANNELS 50 [should be 5] AND 238…SCHEDULE TO BE ANNOUNCED.
Specifically:
"Association members are entitled to solicit, petition, … relating specifically to the affairs of the Association … ." "This allowance is restricted solely to Association common area, and is not permitted on residential property or property owned by the developer."
The
new Craft Building project is nearing completion and we have removed the
perimeter fence. However, please do not walk on the new grounds or enter the
building as we are still actively working both outside and inside. The work
areas are posted with 'No Trespassing Signs' and we ask that these barriers be
respected to prevent an accident. In fact, entry/occupancy by the general
public into the building before we have our final Beaufort County inspection is
illegal. Thanks for the patience as we near completion of this exciting
project. On Behalf Of

All statements for third quarter assessments and club charges were mailed June 6. It has come to our attention that many of those statements were not delivered by the Bluffton Post Office. We are working with the Bluffton Post Master to resolve the problem for future statement mailings.
Residents should remit their June payment to:
Sun City Hilton Head Community
Association, Inc.
114 Sun City Lane
Bluffton, SC 29909
Please include your member number on the memo line.
If you need your balance in order to make your payment, please call the Resident Services desk at 705-4000, Aisha Adams, 705-4441, or Laura Reid, 705-4442. As a result of the lost statements, we are experiencing a high volume of phone calls and walk-ins, and ask that residents merely obtain their balance rather than obtaining a statement or history to allow us the opportunity to serve as many residents as possible and to reduce costs.
We are also asking those residents who did not receive a statement to contact the Bluffton Post Master, George Finley at 757-5857. We hope that if enough people contact Mr. Finley, then the problem will be resolved faster, and this will not happen again.
In the meantime, we appreciate your patience.

Starting July 1st the pool monitors will not be able to issue guest passes at the pools. We will continue to offer guest passes at the Hidden Cypress Fitness Center, the Logo building, the Resident Services office and both golf shops.
This change has been made due to the increased demands on the pool monitors with the increased number of children’s using the pools. This will allow the pool monitor to do the job that they are intended to do. Please also note that the safety of the children is the sole responsibility of the adult accompanying them to pool. No Life Guards are on duty at any of our pools and no child should be left unattended at any time.
Thanks,

The developer is working on five significant projects and we want to keep you up to date. As of June 3, 2008:
Crafts Center
Expansion
The new building is now
“dried in”, that means the exterior walls and roof are complete and the
construction work is now mainly on the inside, although there will be sidewalk
construction taking place. The outside has been painted BEIGE with WHITE trim.
Next time the old crafts buildings are painted they will be painted the same
colors. The new building is slightly ahead of schedule and we should move-in
before Labor Day. A schedule for move-in for the Table Tennis, Billiards,
Photography, Computer, Art and all the card/game clubs will be published as we
get closer to occupancy.
The existing buildings are being renovated and this work is complete except for some punchlist items. The Ceramics Club, All About Art Club and Sew What Club should be back in their old rooms the first part of June. The Computer Club has elected to stay in Palmetto Commons until their room in the new building is completed. The GlassCrafters (Stained Glass) will move into the existing building after Labor Day when the Art Club moves to the new building. For now, the Book Exchange remains in Pinckney Hall.
Magnolia Hall
Choate Construction has
been selected as the General Contractor. This over 16,000 square foot
multi-purpose building will be erected on the old softball field on Sun City
Lane. Foundation work is currently underway with footings and structural steel
being constructed/erected. Weather permitting; completion of this facility
should occur in early 2009.
Second Croquet Lawn
and Putting Green
The new croquet lawn
has been completed, now we must watch the grass grow for about two months
before we can use this lawn. The 18-hole putting green has been reconfigured
and again we must let the grass grow.
More Bocce Courts
Two more bocce courts
are under construction and completion is expected by the end of June.
Parking Lots
Phase 1 of the Town
Square parking expansion is done. This new construction added 117 car parking
spaces and 62 golf cart spaces. Later this year Phase 2 of the Town Square
parking expansion program will be constructed adding 168 car spaces (6
handicap) and 39 golf cart spaces. Construction of Phase 2 will begin after
the super structure of Magnolia Hall has been completed. This phase of the
additional parking will be coordinated with the completion of Magnolia Hall.

She added, “On behalf of the entire Academy, we are honored to have judged the 14th Annual Communicator Awards and we are proud to honor the best in creativity and execution from the foremost communications professionals in the business”.”

Due to a data processing system error, all vehicle information processed on Friday, March 14, was lost. All residents who came to the registration session on that date need to come back for reprocessing.
New barcodes applied that day will have worked at all gates over this past weekend, but will start to fail at the Pope Ave. gate some time on Wednesday, March 19th (today). They will fail at other gates when we are able to proceed with the more secure methodology.Vehicles affected bear resident decals from 22565 through 22596, barcodes 17764 through 17794. Also all registration renewals, and any other vehicles where corrections were entered into the database, are affected.
Again, if you registered vehicle information on Friday, March 14th, please return to redo the work that was lost. Normal hours of operation are Tuesdays from 1 to 4 PM, Fridays from 9 AM to Noon, and the first Saturday of the month from 10 AM to noon. Operations are cancelled in case of rain, as the decals will not stick to the glass.

A
one-time exception that allows residents to request a carryover of their 2007
golf rounds into 2008 has been approved by the Board of Directors. The
following parameters apply:
Golfers would have until February 29, 2009 to make the request
Requests for 30-60-90 billing would have to have been made by December 24, 2007, but are not a requirement for this carryover exception
This exception has nothing to do with the refund policy (Policy # 0710.8 )
In future years, there will be a
December 24 cut off to request carryover of golf rounds, pursuant to current
Policy # 0712.1.
As announced at the Community Association Annual Meeting, commencing in January the Board of Directors' Monthly Workshops will be open to residents. The January meeting will commence at 8:30 am on Thursday, January 10. It will be held in the Santee River Room at Hidden Cypress.
Dear Residents:
By now I am sure that most of you are aware that Pulte has begun the much
anticipated enlargement of the Town Square Parking Lot and it is well
underway. To top off that year-end good news, Pulte has also begun the
ground preparation for the long awaited enlargement of the Craft Center. It
appears that 2008 will be a year in which we will see the completion of
these vital additions so that we can find even more enjoyment in our
activities.
