D i g e s t PRESORTED FIRST-CLASS MAIL U.S. POSTAGE PAID CHARLESTON, SC PERMIT NO. 167 c/o Kiawah Island Community Association 23 Beachwalker Drive Kiawah Island, SC 29455 Address Service Requested Member Input Sought as Board Unveils Preliminary Amenities Plan As most property owners are probably aware, KICA has been working for quite some time on upgrading the quality and type of amenities it offers its membership. In 2011, the board organized the Amenities and Services Task Force to evaluate KICA's existing offerings. Then, in early 2013, the board hired an independent consultant, the McMahon Group, who held several community focus groups and distributed a survey to the membership. All of this research highlighted what our membership values most and how it rates KICA's current amenities and services. Based on the survey results, the board tasked a committee with developing potential recommendations to upgrade our amenities and services. The board has developed a preliminary master plan for improving our amenities. While it was done thoughtfully and thoroughly, the board recognizes that the membership must weigh in at an early stage to provide input for developing the master plan before it is submitted for approval. To help achieve this input, KICA is hosting a series of meetings where the preliminary master plan will be presented, along with ranges of potential future assessments. Member sessions are scheduled over a five day period, beginning May 1. To reserve a seat, please contact KICA Member Services at 843-7689194 or [email protected]. Seats are available at the locations and times to the right. Please note that if you cannot attend a meeting, the plan information will be mailed to all property owners later in May. The objective of these meetings is to gather community input and publish a revised master plan later in the year.
