I am happy to announce that Santa Claus and his Elves have agreed to return to Skidaway Island on Saturday, December 17 and Sunday, December 18.
Santa will be escorted by his friends, the Firefighters of Skidaway Island, throughout the island in a festive parade. He also will be making scheduled stops along the route to better distribute his holiday treats.
Congratulations to Anne Lyon for receiving the Skidaway Island First Responder of the Year Award for 2022.
Anne has been a Skidaway Island First Responder for 20 years. A short article can’t adequately express her contribution to our group and this island. Suffice it to say, she has volunteered more hours of her time looking out for all of us than I can calculate. Thank you, Anne, for your years of service and setting the bar so high for the rest of us.
I also thank Robin Rackoff for her dedication and commitment to the Skidaway Island First Responders. Robin made it her mission years ago to raise money within the Mah Jongg community for our organization. Even in 2020, in the middle of the pandemic when the tournament wasn’t held, she continued to raise money on our behalf.
As we pushed into November and rounded the corner to December, some clear signs are developing relative to the national real estate market and, specifically, in The Landings:
Hosted by the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) Skidaway Chapter since 2013, our Oyster Roast and Pig Pickin’ has become a much-anticipated annual event for island residents and guests.
