Seabrook Island Property Owners Association
and Seabrook Island Club Joint Survey - 2011
The Seabrook Island Property Owners Association and Club have combined their annual surveys in a joint effort to achieve cooperation, minimize confusion, and gain cost savings. The purpose of this survey is for you as a property owner and/or member to provide valuable input which will be used by both organizations in their respective planning processes. Your participation is vital to the success of these efforts.
Please note that multiple perspectives on Island and Club issues are desirable. If there are two adult principals in your household, each is encouraged to take the survey independently. A small section relating to household demographics will be bypassed if a second person from the same household responds to the survey.
You should expect to spend about 10 minutes apiece for the SIPOA and SIC sections, making 20 minutes total. We urge you to complete the whole survey and to do so in one sitting. Please use the comments sections freely.
The survey is divided into the following sections:
Part 1: Seabrook Island Property Owners Association - Vision and Governance
Part 2: SIPOA Operations
Part 3: SIPOA Communications
Part 4: SIPOA Facilities and Fitness/Recreational Activities
Part 5: Demographics
Part 6: Seabrook Island Club - Food and Beverage
Part 7: SIC Golf
Part 8: SIC Tennis
Part 9: SIC Beach Club
Part 10: SIC Social Programs
Part 11: SIC General
As in the past two surveys, we are implementing this survey 100% in-house through the use of Survey Monkey. All responses are anonymous. No names or email addresses are available to the Annual Survey Team.
To take the survey now, please click on the following link
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/jointsurvey
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Shawna Jarrett at
(843) 725-1563.
Thank you for your participation in this important endeavor!

MAY PRESIDENT'S LETTER
May 1, 2011
Dear Member,
First of all I would like to thank all of those who attended our first Town Hall Meeting on April 26th. It was well attended and the questions, suggestions and conversations that took place during and after the meeting were informative and very positive. I hope many more are able to attend the next meeting, presently scheduled for Tuesday, July 26th.
The Club is off to a good start this year, with operational performance better than budget for the first quarter. However, we continue to watch carefully the conditions of the real estate market and the potential impact of the unprecedented increases in energy, chemical and food costs. In this vein, our management team continues to find ways to maximize efficiency in the Club's operation, without reducing quality or significantly impacting the Seabrook Island Club experience. As recommended by our management team, it was approved at the April 26th Board meeting to reduce the locker room service hours of operation from 7 days a week to 5 days a week (closing on Sundays and Mondays), for the summer months, beginning on Sunday, May 22. We feel that the impact to member service will be minimal, as food and beverage service will be available on these days at the Pelican's Nest. A decision later in the summer will be made regarding whether or not the locker room service will reopen on Sundays and Mondays.
Also discussed at the April Board meeting was the topic of member golf tee time availability during the week of 2012 PGA Championship. As you may recall from last month's letter, the Board is recommending that member play yield to outside play during this week, in order to maximize golf revenues and the visibility of Seabrook Island to visitors to the Championship. This particular item continues to warrant discussion, as it is also important to provide tee times for our many non-resident members who may be visiting the Island at that time. More information will follow on this topic in the future.
Finally, I would like to share with you an excerpt from an email Caleb recently received from one of our members, Jamie Ryan. It appears as though member satisfaction continues to be high! Jamie pays high compliments to our club operation and concludes his email (not included in the following excerpt) that one of his guests plans to return to Seabrook Island to investigate real estate opportunities!
"I wanted to compliment you on my experience on Seabrook last week. Each year, I do a "boys trip" where most of my time is spent on Kiawah. When I bought on Seabrook 3 yrs ago, the group I play with agreed to play a round on our courses on Seabrook. Back three years ago, we did not have the new facilities and my group had never seen the Seabrook courses before. This year, we played the Ocean Course, Osprey, Cougar, the River Course and Cassique - plus Oceans Winds. Everyone agreed that the greens on Oceans Winds were by far the best we play all week - no other course was close due to either very slow pace or poor conditions - Ocean Winds were pretty quick (which we like) and in perfect condition. And the overall course condition was very good, as well.
After our round, we did a tour of the club-house and had lunch on the veranda outside - again, great comments on the staff, food, speed of services and the view."
I would like to encourage you all to continue to support the Club through your use of our fantastic amenities and services!
Warm Regards,
Coby Van de Graaf
