MEMBERSHIP PROMOTION

The promotion for members to upgrade their membership at reduced rates will end on

February 28, 2011.



Community member can upgrade to Social for $4,000 (normally $8,000)

Community to Full for $12,000 (an $18,000 upgrade)

Social/Sports member can upgrade to Full for $4,000 (a $10,000 upgrade)



There are many advantages that go along with the Social and Full memberships including discounted golf and free tennis.



In addition, if you assume the Club amenity access fees for rental guests (an estimated 16 weeks per year), the annual Club fees are less expensive at the Social level due to the fact that the Club amenity access fee is waived... not to mention the added benefits of being the 25 rounds of golf at cart fee only which can be shared with friends and family (this privilege applies to the Social level only).



This is your last chance! Please contact Lisa Miller at 843.768.7805 or via e-mail at lmiller@discoverseabrook.com to learn more about the changes and advantages of upgrading your membership today!

The History of Seabrook Island Club


Just a reminder for those visiting for the Annual Meeting, The History of the Seabrook Island Club is now available for $16.95 at the Golf Pro Shop and the Tennis Pro Shop. Written by Ron Ciancio with help from Sue Holloman, Lisa Miller, Ike Smith and Steve Ward, the book provides a detailed history of the Seabrook Island Club, including the early attempts of the property owners to purchase the recreational assets from the Island's developer, Robert Russell, through Russell's bankruptcy, the bank's foreclosure and the successful efforts of the property owners to purchase the assets from the bank. The book describes the Island One campaign, the Horizon Plan as well as other highlights from the Club's history. The book will make interesting reading both for those property owners who lived through the experience as well as new property owners who want to learn more about the Club's history.

Special thanks to Bob Hider, Club Member, and Curtis Krueger for donating their time and photographic talents to the book.
