Sangaree Connection

I promised to let you all know when the Sangaree Special Tax District Commission meeting, originally scheduled for August 7, would take place. The meeting for August 7 was canceled due to the conflict with the National Night Out Community Party.

I contacted the Sangaree Special Tax District offices, and per the General Manager, the meeting will not be re-scheduled. The next meeting will be November 6, 2007.

The next meeting of the Sangaree Crime Watch is this Thursday, August 16 at 7:00 p.m. It will be held at the Palmetto Land Baptist Church, right on Sangaree Parkway. Please join us!

The agenda for this meeting includes:

• Crime Watch organizational changes
• Presentation by Norman Falone of United States Alarm about home security and how to find a reputable security alarm company.

Thank you for your continued support, and we’ll see you Thursday!

The benefit to help our local volunteer C&B fire department purchase a Thermal Imager was held on August 11 at the pond in Spring Lakes.

Thermal Imagers see heat. They can look through walls to find people in a burning building. The benefit raised $4,000 towards the Thermal Imager. A new one will cost $10,000 so we are well on our way.

The benefit was also dedicated to Firefighter James “Earl� Drayton who died in the Sofa Super Store fire in West Ashley.

The entire C&B fire volunteer department came out in support. Also at the benefit were the Berkeley County Sheriffs K9 division, ITC Arts for Fitness, Planet Dance and many Sangaree residents donating time and money.

Thanks to everyone for coming out.

And special thanks to JoAnne Satior for setting up the Benefit.

It was America’s Night Out Against Crime!

This was Sangaree’s second annual National Night Out. People from all over Sangaree came out for free food, water slides, jump castles, fire trucks and clowns.

The event also helped raise money for the Sangaree Crime Watch.

I have just received word that the Sangaree Special Tax District Commission meeting scheduled for this meeting was canceled yesterday. It has not yet been re-scheduled. When I receive word on when the meeting will be, I will let you know.

Also, the National Night Out event is TONIGHT! It is being held in the field next to the library and starts at 5:30 p.m. Please stop by for a fun party and get to know your neighbors. If you can bring any food, the organizers would appreciate it. They can use: hamburger/hot dog buns, desserts, potato chips and other snacks, etc.

Thank you for your support! I’ll see you tonight!
