Beginning with a Sept. 9th Welcome Back Cocktail Party, the Fripp Island Women’s Club offers an exciting year of programs and events for its members and guests. Co-VicePresidents Barclay Sharon and Kay Zink have selected “Surrounded by Inspiration” as our 2021-22 theme and have arranged programs to reflect that philosophy.

Included on this year’s calendar are private tours to St. Phillip’s Island and the Pat Conroy Literary Center and a Carriage Ghost Tour! A special “not-to-be-missed” event is the Dec. 8th “Stop and Shop” featuring many talented Fripp vendors! A perfect opportunity to purchase unique hand-crafted items for holiday gifts!

In addition to enjoying entertaining and informational programs each month, our community outreach efforts support such issues as childhood literacy, through our Born to Read contributions, and Lowcountry educational opportunities, through our Pat Conroy The Water is Wide Scholarship. We hope you will join us as we begin this year “Surrounded by Inspiration.”

The Fripp Island Women’s Club met in August and regrettably decided that for the safety and protection of those who planned to attend this year’s event, as well as those who volunteered their homes, we are canceling the 2021 Fripp Island Women’s Club Tour of Homes.

The safety and protection of all during the recent surge of the COVID Delta Variant was paramount to this decision.

I would like to thank all the volunteers and homeowners for the hard work and time spent on this year’s event. We look forward to rescheduling this event in 2022.

For those of you that have prepaid for this year’s event please let me know if you would like your check returned to you by September 6th. Otherwise, I will assure you that your check is shredded.
