Kiawah Cares Spotlights Veterans, Prepares for Busy Winter
KICA's community outreach program, Kiawah Cares (KC), has certainly been busy
this fall/winter. In addition to its normal array of programs KC recently launched
American Veterans of the Sea Islands (AVSI). This program was created as a way to
recognize veterans from Johns and Wadmalaw islands and provide them with an
opportunity to soci alize and support each other.
As its first major program, AVSI hosted a group of veterans in the St. Johns High
School homecoming parade (pictured right). Afterwards, the vets enjoyed a pregame
BBQ tailgate for the vets, followed by tickets to the homecoming football game,
where they were honored during the pregame activities.
Future programs include a harbor sail generously hosted by Veterans on Deck, and
events with Charleston Area Therapeutic Riding's Horses for Heroes program.
Upcoming Programs
Wine Tasting Fundraiser for Owl Pack Program
Kiawah Giving Tree
Dec. 3 from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
Kiawah Women's Group is hosting a wine tasting at the Sandcastle to
raise funds so that the Owl Pack program can continue into the next
semester. Grab a date and savor any or all of the six carefully selected
wines from the Wine Cellar Wine and Gifts while enjoying holiday
entertainment by the Island Choraliers. You will be able to buy bottles
of the wines included in the tasting. Tickets for the tasting are $25 per
person and are on sale at the Sandcastle. The event is expected to sell out
so be sure to get yours early.
Now through Dec. 18
KC is coordinating a Kiawah Giving Tree for elementary school children
around the Sea Islands. This is a wonderful chance to give a child a gift
and brighten their holiday. Contact KC to be matched with a child (you'll
learn the age and gender). You may drop off a wrapped gift to the KICA
Administration offices (23 Beachwalker Dr.) by Dec. 18. Gifts will be
delivered to the child before the holiday break. If you have already adopted
an Angel Oak Owl, and would like to sponsor your own owl's gift, please
notify KC. If you have questions, contact [email protected].
