ROSE HILL
Letter from the President
Greetings, RHP neighbors, I find myself in a position I would have never dreamed of. On the second anniversary of my retirement, I was voted in as President of the Rose Hill POA. In recent months I decided to run for the Board because I thought I had the right experience to address some issues I have observed that did not make sense. I’ve committed myself to working with the other members of the Board to improve transparency and make the Board one that the community can believe in, be proud of, and support. I’m pleased with the balance I see in the new Board of Directors. In our meetings, they are very open, honest, passionate and respectful during discussions and debates. We don’t always agree, but I don’t think we always should. I know residents were tired of waiting for the announcement of a new golf course operator but I assure you we finalized an agreement that I believe will be best situation for our entire community. It was the first of many important decisions this Board will face in coming months. The “wants vs. needs” discussions and decisions will affect the neighborhood for years to come. We are a diverse community, and I hope people realize that not everyone will be happy with every decision the Board makes. Our decisions will be based on what is best for the community as a whole with the main goals being improved property values, maintaining our infrastructure and buildings and improving amenities. We hope to accomplish this while keeping our annual dues among the lowest in the area. I am also pleased with the involvement and dedication of our Committees. RHP is evolving demographically as a community, and the Committees will work with the Board to address how we can best serve the changing needs. I ask for your patience as the Board and Committees settle in. Keep in mind we are all volunteers trying to keep RHP the best place to live in Bluffton.

ROSE HILL
Letter from the General Manager
Rose Hill Residents, It feels like we are finally turning a corner with many of us getting our Covid vaccinations, enjoying warmer temperatures and best of all, one another’s company again. In Rose Hill we have many new beginnings: We have our first nineperson Board of Directors. The current and new Board members have merged together seamlessly. Once officially seated, they got straight to work concentrating on finding a new golf course operator. The contract was awarded to Hallmark Golf and they will begin operating our course on or before August 1st. However, you may have already seen Hallmark’s General Manager, Tim Ashley or their Agronomist Brian Roller, out on the course making sure everything is beautiful. Another first for the POA is we have hired Sheryl Bergman, as our Administrative Specialist. Her position will serve a dual role assisting with covenant enforcement and executive level administrative tasks in the management office. Sheryl will begin her new position on June 14. Please stop by and help us welcome her to Rose Hill! Other firsts include the addition of three new committees: Equestrian, Amenities and Social. We couldn’t be more excited about the addition of these committees and we want to say thank you to all the resident volunteers who serve our community. We could not do what we do without you! Rose Hill has certainly benefited from the real estate boom with 34 homes sales closing in the last two months and 18 new homes currently under construction. You will be seeing me out in the community a lot more this summer as I work on preventative maintenance issues and a plan for addressing upcoming infrastructure repairs. We will also be incorporating new gate access software to be implemented in a few weeks. Thank you all for being part of this wonderful community! Kind Regards,
We have our first nineperson Board. The current and new Board members have merged together seamlessly. Officers President: Tom Brouillette Vice President: Larry Beckler Treasurer: Sean Casey Secretary: Nancy Fairfax Directors Fran Richards Dan Utley Tom Crocker

Volunteers
Rose Hill
Litter Gidderz The Rose Hill Environmental Sustainability club sponsored Rose Hill’s first “Adopt a Highway” effort on Saturday, June 5th. Resident volunteers pledged to continue to clean both sides of Route 278 between Rose Hill and the Fire Station. Beaufort County supplies road signs, the bags, gloves and safety vests. Lisa Bush and Lynn Zipse are leading the effort. Our inaugural event, on Saturday, June 5, was a HUGE success. We decided not to accept requests from local, national and international press.
Most importantly, we had a ball.
Additional Pictures can be seen on the following page. Photo credit: Don Dempsey
Awards were provided for the most volume and weight collected and the most outrageous trash talking. Ten neighbors participated. On the scorcher (South) side: Nancy Allen, Tom Brouillette, Ginny Cassidy, Nancy and Bill Fairfax. On the cooler (North) side: Lisa Bush, Bruce Clemens, Susan and David Tirard. Don Dempsey and his camera were omnipresent! Excuse me, but here comes some additional shameless self promotion. We filled 61 bags in addition to a number of truck tire treads, metal signs and posts and 4” Steel and PVC pipe. We finished in world record time, breaking the three hours barrier! Quotes included: • “Dang, that RoadKill catered lunch was far better than expected.” • “I found that my extensive prior training was not required, I was able to pick it up along the way”. • When asked why he littered, the perpetrator explained he just read the sign that said “Fine for Littering.” • Finally, “Did you hear about the cheese truck that crashed? The street was littered with de brie”
Caroline Dolbey, Bluffton’s Adopt a Highway coordinator, was amazed at the amount of trash we bagged. Caroline said she thinks that was the first time the area was ever cleaned by volunteers. Caroline added that no other group has ever collected as many as 50 bags! We plan to host such events, without the dumb jokes, every three months or whenever sufficient litter accumulates. Stay tuned for future announcements. Volunteers over the age of 18 are welcome. For more information contact Lisa Bush (803-507-3682), Lynn Zipse (913-485-2044) or Bruce Clemens (864-523-5559).

Caring Neighbors
Outstanding neighbors…. With the arrival of Spring, and many of our Caring Neighbors volunteers having received their Covid shots, our ability to assist those who rely on us for transportation and other needs has returned to normal.
During the past year, when some of our drivers were unable to transport people, we had to rely on a small number of faithful people who put in an extraordinary number of hours helping those who requested our services. We are so grateful to them for their outstanding dedication during a difficult time and for helping us fulfill our goal of “neighbors helping neighbors”. For those residents who are new to Rose Hill, Caring Neighbors is a non-profit, charitable organization which relies on volunteers to help those living within the plantation, or the greater Bluffton area, meet their needs.
If you are interested in volunteering for our group, or know of someone who could benefit from our help, more information is available on our website at www.caring-neighbors.org or you can call 843-368-2096.
Our services include the following: • Transportation to appointments, shopping, or running errands • Assistance with minor chores or simple home maintenance • Friendly telephone check-ups or visits at home • Meals delivered when recuperating from surgery or illness • Temporary pet care such as dog walking

St. Paddy’s Day tournament played at our home course was held on March 13, 2021. This outing was a mixed event for the Rosebuds, the LGA, the MGA, and a few golfers who were guests of members. The format was a step-aside scramble & every player participates which is a lot of fun, whether you are an “A” player or a “D”! The tournament had a record turnout (74 players) and followed by a meal prepared by Oak Terrace.

A MESSAGE FROM
Hallmark Golf
Rose Hill Residents, We at Hallmark Golf are excited to join your community. Just a few trips through the gate and around the community and I can already tell this is a special place. Hallmark Golf entered the local golf scene in 2019 – initially in Crescent Pointe and Eagle’s Pointe. Walter and Susan Galdenzi purchased these two courses and a year later, purchased The Club at Hilton Head Lakes. Our staff has never worked for anyone more committed to the golf industry than this couple. It is truly a blessing to know the staff has the full support of their owners. We have learned valuable lessons in the past year and a half that continue to make us successful in this industry. At the top of that list is realizing that a golf course and its residents must be unified as a family. We co-exist to support and serve each other. Our recipe for success begins and ends with our relationship with the community. Hallmark is committed to bringing these same principles to Rose Hill and is excited to begin this journey. Our reputation is extremely important in this competitive market; therefore, we vow to treat your course as one of our own. Hallmark will be transparent and honest in our relationship with you. As always, I welcome you to communicate with any of the three communities we’re currently involved with and see how we’re doing. Brian Roller, our Director of Agronomy, has a full time maintenance staff starting at Rose Hill Monday, June 13th. Our target date to open for play is July 26th depending on golf cart availability. On behalf of our owners and staff, thank you for this opportunity and I believe with all my heart that great things are in store. Respectfully, Tim Ashley General Manager Hallmark Golf
I would also like you to hear from a couple of our other team members: Jim Sheaffer Hallmark Golf Director of Sales and Marketing: “I am a 20-year resident of South Carolina. Hallmark Golf is excited to be opening Rose Hill Golf Club. I am looking forward to working with the Rose Hill POA on behalf of its residents. I pledge to work very hard with our staff to create and maintain the best possible golf atmosphere at Rose Hill.” Matthew Proffitt Hallmark Golf Assistant Pro: “I am from Columbia SC, and played varsity basketball and varsity golf at River Bluff High School. I moved to Bluffton to attend USCB and have been a part of the golf industry for the past four years. I am currently in the PGA apprentice program and enjoy the never-ending challenge golf presents.”
