Monthly Message from the President

Monthly Message to Spanish Wells Club members from the President


The Board met Monday 5/17/21 and voted to reopen the Club to pre-covid status. The official reopen date will be Wednesday June 9th .This will allow time for clean up and set up of all the facilities.
The Golf Course will reopen that day as well. Bill and his staff are planning a Social Event to celebrate the return to normal on Wednesday June 9th , details to follow. In the meantime no masks are needed inside the Clubhouse.


We are still waiting on the availability of the vendor to install the Tennis exterior fencing. The Ball machine has arrived and will be ready for use soon.


If you are a golfer you know the “beloved” Pump House next to the 5th Green has been torn down. Gregg is overseeing the electric work and other issues on the Pump. A new Pump House is on the way; hopefully this will be completed in the next 3 weeks. At the same time the pump on number one needs repair and work will be started on several areas on the course and surrounding areas with drainage issues. The Club is working together with the POA on those drainage issues which affect us both.

Our membership numbers are now over 300 thanks to the great work by Bill and his staff.

Projects beginning soon include new Roof for the Dock House and upgrade to the Men’s room.

100 Men Who Care

image001.jpg

 A small group of men involved at the Spanish Wells Club discussed an idea as to how they can contribute in a small way to help-out our local charities who work so hard for our island. The answer was to form "100 Men Who Care" for Hilton Head Island. With this email, we invite any of you who want to get involved with our charitable organization to commit to four meetings for one hour duration each, during the next 12 months.

We now have 50+ men involved in the group that will be making an impact in the community every quarter. Not an original idea, but one that is working well nationally. This quarter we are focusing on three local charities with pressing needs and will discuss different charities every 3 months going forward.  

 This model of the organization is based on a national alliance of “100 Who Care”. The ladies on the island started a chapter a few years ago and have grown to 180+ members. The ladies leverage a model created in 2007 named "100 Who Care Alliance." Currently, the alliance has 700+ member organizations around the world using the model, while they do not extract a fee for the service. 

 The 100 Men Who Care on Hilton Head, are part of a group which meet 4 times a year to review needs, prioritize efforts and vote for a worthy local charity.  Each quarter, organizations are nominated for consideration by the participants. The members select charities for consideration and share the opportunities.  After a 5-minute presentation on each non-profit, a vote is taken to decide a winner, all in 60 minutes.

 The men on the island have kicked off this process and are now meeting once a quarter to discuss the needs of the non-profits on the island. The program has three basic goals:

  • Impactful - When you donate to a charity, you may wonder if you are making a difference. But when 100 people donate $100 at the same time, they raise $10,000 to a worthy cause. Now THAT makes an impact.

  • Simple - No volunteering, no telemarketing, no event planning, no silent auction donations to solicit. It only takes ONE hour.

  • Local - There is amazing work being done by local non-profits in the Hilton Head area. You can make an immediate and positive impact in our community. 100% of your donation will go directly to a local charity.

Our next meeting is April 8th, 5pm, at the Spanish Wells Club.

Please take a look at the website for men, www.100MenWhoCareHHI.com for more information. The main contact for our chapter is Mike Bruce 404-660-3121.

If there are any women who might also be interested and want to get involved, please look at the 100+ Women Who Care website www.100wwchhi.org or the main contact for the women's Hilton Head group is Darlene Schuetz yosedar@icloud.com.

This is not a solicitation for donations or endorsement of any particular charity. Neither GW Services nor the Spanish Wells POA are requesting or accepting donations for the "100 Men Who Care" organization.  This email is intended to simply raise awareness of a charitable organization that meets in our neighborhood to provide neighbors with an opportunity to participate should they have an interest in doing so.
 

Thanks

Monthly Message from the Board

Monthly Message to Spanish Wells Club Members from the President:

The Board met Monday, March 15th and the officers of the Board were elected as follows:

Kathy Joyce –President

Jeff Meyers –Vice President

Art Clephane –Treasurer

Paul Idzik-Secretary

As you can see there is a project underway to beautify and make the side pathway around the clubhouse safer. The gate on the dock is out for repair and will return shortly. The exterior netting on the tennis courts has been repaired. Work on the Pump and the Pump House on the course will begin soon.

The staff are researching a new system for entering and reconciling all the Food and Beverage tickets. We are doing this to reduce the confusion caused by dates of purchase sometimes not matching exactly to the dates shown on your monthly statement. In the meantime they will endeavor to enter all tickets with the correct dates. To facilitate this please date all Food and Beverage Tickets.

The Board along with the staff is exploring all options to reopen the Clubhouse, the Grill and the Calibogue room. As soon as we have developed a safe plan we will let you know. In the meantime be safe and enjoy.

Kathy Joyce,

President Spanish Wells Club
