CCA’s Skidaway 23rd Annual Banquet and Auction is scheduled to take place at 6 p.m. on April 18, at the Palmetto Clubhouse Ballroom.
“Over the years, our dinner and auction has become one of our island’s signature events, and we look forward to catching up with old friends and introducing newcomers to our CCA Skidway Chapter,” said Banquet Chair Tom Rood.
Ticket prices are $235 per couple and $125 per single and are now available for purchase at ccaskidaway.org.
This is an exciting time for our community. Owners soon will have the opportunity to vote to ensure the continued prosperity of The Landings. For our newer owners, we are unique, in that to increase our required Annual Dues, we need approval from at least two-thirds of owners who vote.
This vote is about maintaining our infrastructure and service levels. It is not about adding services or expanding amenities.
Voting packets will be mailed March 15.
The Landings Association’s annual paving project has gotten off to a good start this year.
Another project you soon will notice is fiber internet being installed by Coastal Communications. Coastal Communications plans to begin installing the “backbone” of the network within the next month.
A final project of note is the current installation of a “bubbler” curtain in the Landings Harbor Marina basin.
If you ever need something, please let me know (karls@landings.org). And please cast a “Yes” ballot for the Annual Dues Vote!
Each year, The Landings Association engages a local firm to conduct an annual audit of our financials. Currently, the Association uses the firm Holland, Bromley, Barnhill & Brett (HB3).
An unmodified audit opinion was issued for 2022. There were no audit findings or issues encountered during the engagement.
For those who don’t dwell in audit lingo, those are good things! The ending members equity balance as of December 31, 2022, totals $12,185,708, with an additional $9,745,121 recorded in deferred revenue-reserves.
Though our Covenants do not require the annual audit, our Board Policy Manual has included this best practice to provide assurance to our members that their money is being managed in a fiscally responsible manner that conforms to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
On Monday, Bennett Paving began milling and paving Phase 2 of Yam Gandy Road (Landings Way South (north entrance) to Southerland Road (north Entrance). They completed Phase 2 on Friday.
Staff contracted R&D Tree to remove several diseased and/or dangerous trees in and around the Deer Creek Village Gate this week in preparation for the turf restoration project that will begin in April.

Staff performed routine inspections in Phase II this week. Follow-up and requested inspections were conducted throughout the island.
This week, five properties were contacted regarding a violation of the Private Property Maintenance Standards, and two properties were contacted to provide courtesy education regarding property maintenance standards.
On February 27, members of the Architectural Review Committee and staff attended a legal orientation via Microsoft Teams with George Nowack of Nowack Howard.
All the original dry rack foundation footers have been removed from the ground.
A few of the larger footers that were removed intact are being scheduled for removal.
The next step of the project will be forming and installing the foundations for the new dry rack building.
As of March 1, the Bubbler Curtain is now operating at the entrance to Landings Harbor Marina. This project is an attempt to minimize the amount of silt that settles in the basin, thus reducing the required annual dredging.
Those sand gnats are just awful this time of year! You’ve heard people at the playground and around the neighborhood talking about that “bug spray in the purple bottle”. We have it in our store!
The dry slips are fully occupied. We are using three open slips currently to temporarily house boats displaced while we work on the rack replacement project.
The wet slips and jet ski spaces are 100% full. We continue to maintain a waiting list for all slips and will fill the slips as available.
Join us March 7, from 1 to 3 p.m. in The Landings Association’s Conference Room (600 Landings Way South) for our final Mobile App Drop-in Tutorial Session.
There will not be a formal presentation. However, we will spend one-on-one time with each attendee.
Approximately 160 residents turned out for The Landings Association’s Annual Meeting on March 1 at 7 p.m., in the Palmetto Club Ballroom.
Landings Association President Herman Stone opened the meeting, welcomed the group, and gave an overview of the agenda. He recognized retired Directors Hal Duensing, Tony Martin, and Ex-Officio Judy Monaco for their service on the Board.
Stone then acknowledged Landings resident Bob Egan as the 2022 Volunteer of the Year.
If you’ve followed any of The Landings Association’s Public Works Capital Projects since 1999, breathed a sigh of relief knowing Chatham Emergency Services (CES) has The Landings covered, or had a great time partying at the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in downtown Savannah, then you have reaped the benefits of a few of Bob Egan’s volunteer efforts.
Egan and his wife, Joyce, purchased property in The Landings in 1990 and became Landings Golf & Athletic Club Members in 1993.
Egan was introduced to The Landings by a colleague who also was an avid golfer.
When they purchased their first property, he still was employed full-time as a corporate executive with AT&T.
Located in Brussels at the time of his employment, he was responsible for Europe and the Middle East.
However, the siren calls of The Landings, with its six golf courses and coastal charm, finally lured the couple to the community full-time in 1996.
