Renovating the Crab Dock

One of the SIPOA facilities available to all is our very own Crab Dock. Recently the viewing platform was rebuilt to allow for easier and safer access for crabbing, fishing, and enjoying the sunset. There are future plans to include improvements for kayak launches and an upcoming project to build a living shoreline system to promote oyster growth and vegetation along the marsh banks – thanks to the SIPOA Environmental Committee led by Jeff Davis, and the Seabrook Island Green Space Conservancy. .

Blood Drive September 3

The next Seabrook Island Community Blood Drive will be held on Thursday, September 3, 2026, at the Lake House from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm. Please consider donating blood. There is a great need right now. Hospitals rely on blood donations to treat accident victims, patients undergoing surgery, cancer patients, and many others. Your donation can save lives.

To select an appointment time, contact RedCrossBlood.org (Sponsor Code: SEABROOK). Donors have found that using RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass on the day of the drive speeds up the intake process and saves waiting time. Not sure of your schedule? Walk-ins are also warmly welcomed.

Save the date for the next Blood Drive on Thursday, December 17.

For additional information, contact Kathy Rigtrup at ktrup2@aol.com or 973-715-3005.

The demand is great – can we count on you to help fill it?
