NOTE FROM YOUR GM

A NOTE FROM YOUR GM

These days summer is starting to seem more like a 30 minute lunch break. It feels like it goes by so quickly. The kids are back and school and we are getting close to fall, although we still have plenty of summer weather left to enjoy this year. We are seeing a slow-down of visitors to the Island, but it certainly was a fun summer for our Fripp Families. We heard stories of their loved ones coming from miles away to visit this year and we know that a lot of new, wonderful memories were made. We welcomed a lot of new families to the Island this summer. We are happy that you have chosen to make Fripp Island your home and want to remind you that we are here to answer any questions you may have. And we look forward to getting to know you and your families.

We had another, even bigger Ice Cream Social at Davis Love Park last month and gave out a record 500 Free Dairy Queen Blizzards! We have included some photos in this issue. We are excited about our next events, a Halloween Decorating Contest and a Halloween Dance in October at Davis Love Park. In this issue we will give you some great costume ideas so you can dress up for the party. Also in this issue you will learn about some of the unique house names on Fripp Island, see some vintage Fripp Island material, meet a local author who just published his first book and get some updates from various clubs and organizations.

Once again, we thank you for submissions and ideas for this issue of the Trawler, we hope you will enjoy it and wish you a happy and safe fall season on Fripp Island.
