Foundation Fund

The Seabrook Foundation Fund has provided assistance to Fraser

residents who, through no fault of their own, were unable to fully cover

their financial needs. It has also helped many others of the Seabrook

community over the past years. As the years go by, unforeseen

circumstances could result in a similar situation for any of us. If you

are able, a small tax exempt gift to the Foundation Fund can be added

to your Seabrook monthly statement. A form for this purpose is

available at the Front Desk.

Look at these reviews!

“ I have had Jannie Bush as my housekeeper since Feb. 2013. She is professional, has very high standards for how the work is done and is a very caring person. She cannot be replaced.” – Mary Moser

“ We look forward to seeing Gloria on her Thursday visits. She shows up with a smile and turns our messy apartment into a different place! Thanks Gloria!” – Evelyn Finch

Opening of the Library

Please be ready to return all books you borrowed before the pandemic.

Also, if you have any recent fiction books you would like to donate to

The Seabrook Library. Please leave them at the front desk.

We Thank you,

HOSPITAL DEPARTURES

If you find yourself released from the Hilton Head Hospital and need a ride, please call

Yellow Cab, (843)686 -6666. If you do not have money with you, they will bill The Seabrook,

and we will put the charge on your monthly bill. We never know when we may go to the

hospital and when they may release us. Now you can have some peace of mind.

BEAUFORT COUNTY LIBRARY BOOK MOBILE

Beaufort County has purchased a Library Book Mobile and we are on their route on Tuesdays, July 14th and 28th at 11:15 a.m. until 12:15 p.m. in the parking lot by the front entrance of The Seabrook House. They plan to come two Tuesdays of each month for you to pick out books and return them with ease. Don’t have a library card? You can get one

in the mobile unit. What a great way to get the latest books without leaving The Seabrook. Here is the updated service announcement for the Bookmobile:

Bookmobile South will resume visits to a limited number of stops starting Monday, July 6. The safety of our visitors and staff are very important to us so we have new

safeguards in place. On your next visit to the Bookmobile, please observe social distancing guidelines, keeping a minimum of six feet between yourself and others and wear a face mask. Given the limited space inside the Bookmobile, visitors will need to remain outside and take advantage of our “Grab and Go” service to pick up

pre-requested items.

To request items in advance of a Bookmobile visit, you may search and place items on hold through our online catalog, by email (bookmobile@bcgov.net), or

by phone Bookmobile South 843.255.6534

As always, staff will be on hand to make suggestions if patrons have

not pre-requested books. We look forward to seeing our friends at the Seabrook on Tuesday, July 14 at 11:15 am!

Recycling News

PAPER BAGS. Please try to reuse or recycle your paper bags. Debby Boots no longer needs them for the litter box thrift shop. One suggestion for Seabrook House is to put the paper, rather than plastic, bags in employee waste baskets where they have been doing a good job of recycling. We noticed that some plastic bags with recyclables were

tossed in recycle bin. Great to have the recyclables, but the plastic bags are unacceptable and ruin the good efforts.

RECYCLING MATTERS

RECYCLE !! This is mantra appearing weekly in a Sylva, North Carolina, newspaper. It's a well-earned generic insult. For five years many of us have worked hard to promote

recycling at Seabrook. We've been reasonable, encouraging and informative. Our contract company recycles exactly what is on the brochure. This saves money, resources, energy and

is absolutely the right thing to do.

For the past two months we've seen too many of the overabundant lunch/dinner takeout containers sloppily tossed in the trash bin instead of recycled. Perhaps our updates were remiss. Despite the #5 on the takeout clamshell containers, large and small, our recycler has given Seabrook a dispensation and clamshells can be recycled IF WE RINSE THEM OUT CAREFULLY, an easy task. No item can ever be recycled laden with leftover food.

Again, a recycling brochure appears in this Scoop along with ones posted in every trash room. Some residents have plainly said they will not participate because it's too much

trouble even when Seabrook has made it so easy to separate and place recyclables and trash in proper bins. Failure to understand is one thing, laziness is another.

We honor and respect residents like Mary Jane Bauman! When she was president of the regime board 5 years ago, Mary Jane was instrumental in launching the recycling program

amongst some odds. Now approaching 95 years old, she has trouble seeing and walking and laughs off a list of other ailments, but when I visited her the other day, there was her

paper bag filled with rinsed-out big and little clamshell containers along with her paper and #1 and 2 plastic. May we all be so good!

If someone needs explanation of procedure, please call Debby Boots at 843-715-4220. We have the best recycling company on the Island and should not want to toss away (waste)

items that can be recycled into new materials. We do not want to lose the contract because we recycle items NOT ON THE BROCHURE, or items contaminated with food or flimsy

plastic bags. Debby Boots

Sales Scoop

I’m very glad to report that inquiries from the local market have started. In the last

two weeks, we’ve had seven interested clients and all but one was already a client

of ours.

The Burke’s (Joe and Nancy) from Sun City are closing on #5305, July 28th. Nick

Chirigos is relocating from #4201 to #1403, downsizing from a 2 BR to a 1BR. Knute

Welzant will be moving to the Seabrook in early August. She’ll be picking out her

villa during this week. We also have another resident from Bluffton, Ginny Foreman,

who will be selecting a villa this week. So you see there is a “pent up” demand for

the Seabrook right now.

During June, July and August, marketing-wise, we have a print-ad campaign

combined with local digital ads in the Island Packet, Bluffton Today and Hilton

Head / Sun City Sun. Our focus will be on “testimonials” from Seabrook residents as

well as those who are in the process of becoming Seabrook residents.

And if you want to see the Seabrook “Virtual Tour” all you need to do is go to

www.theseabrook.com and click on the “Tour” tab which will take you to the

video. We felt like we needed to show interested clients our entire community.

June and I truly appreciate all of your support and help when it comes to all of your

positive, enthusiastic, commentary about the Seabrook, which makes our

community an easy place to like.

So Good to Be Back! Louise Lund

While stress is a common physical and emotional reaction that people experience while confronting

the Covid-19 virus, long-term stress may contribute to negative health outcomes. Stress has been

linked to anxiety, depression, and other illnesses.

Now, more than ever, it is important to focus on your physical and mental health, to stay positive

during this difficult time. Some important recommendations include continuing physical activity,

taking a walk around the grounds, and spending some time in the sunshine. Doctors recommend 15-20

minutes of unprotected sun exposure at least several times a week to boost your Vitamin D and your

spirits.

You may also want to consider taking breaks from watching, reading, and listening to news related to

the virus and the protests to help reduce anxiety and stress. Try other activities such as working

puzzles, crosswords, coloring, reading, and games to keep you engaged.

It is important to stay in contact with close friends and family during stressful situations, so check in

with your loved ones by phone, Skype, or Facetime on a regular basis. Continue to eat healthy,

well-balanced meals, including a variety of fruits and vegetables every day, and limit alcohol intake.

Wash hands often and keep at least a 6-foot space between you and others.

I am so happy to be back with you all and glad that you recognize the importance of exercise. It has

been a long quarantine period and seeing your friendly faces lifts my spirits. We can look forward to

everyday life returning to normal – happy hours, meetings, bridge, gym workouts with equipment

open, library open, balance classes, lunches out, and fabulous dinners in the dining room. In the

meantime, stay safe and healthy and reach out to friends and neighbors as well. We will get through

this! And hopefully soon!

THE AMAZING SEABROOK "OPERATION ROOF-RESCUE"

This is a true story about two stray cats and the cat ladies of Seabrook. The caper begins a couple months ago when Blackie climbed up a tree and walked across a limb onto the roof of building #3.

Now, Blackie and Bessie, aka, Mayhem and Mischief, are boy and girl cats who were rescued and carted over here to Seabrook to dispose of the lurking vermin. The cats proceeded to im-mediately jump on Marge Gunn's patio where they received true love, gourmet food and nev-er left except to range the grounds looking for handouts. (Please do not give them handouts which will attract vermin and we're not sure the cats are up to the task of "killing.") So Black-ie is stranded on the roof and starts wailing, "Help! Save me! I can't get down from here." Cathy Kohout from #4 hears the plaintive meows, sees a black spot on the roof and rushes over to alert Marge. No luck. Blackie's stuck. The distraught ladies call Maintenance who immediately sends over a guy who leaves a ladder, then leaves the scene, assured the big boy cat will step down the hefty edifice to the ground. Not so. More "yoo-hoos" from the la-dies. Nothing doing. Lucy Keber and Marsha Carey arrive at the frenzied scene, Marsha bringing little rugs to cover the ladder's gaping steps. Blackie doesn't fall for it. He's totally out of control now with his bawling. (How can a stray street cat be such a wimp?) The cat ladies are overwrought. Call maintenance again? the police? the fire department? get some canned tuna? But, never fear, help is on the way..

SUDDENLY, WHO CALMLY SAUNTERS OUT OF THE BUSHES? IT'S BESSIE, OUR HER-OINE, TO THE RESCUE! Bessie simply climbs the ladder , walks over to nudge Blackie, probably whispering, "I'm here, babykins, follow me" as she proceeds to the roof edge and gingerly leads him down the ladder to safety. The cat ladies clap and cheer and maybe shed a tear. Bessie has saved the day! Again! Yes, Blackie has gotten into trouble before and Bes-sie always seems to be watching over him. THREE CHEERS FOR OUR BESSIE!. Oh, she's the tiger cat and Blackie is the black one. Happy Ending!

P.S. Mayhem and Mischief...the original names were hard to remember and pronounce, but not far off the mark, at least for one of the devoted pair.

(written by Debby Boots as told by Marge Gunn)

RESIDENTS, YOU CAN HELP OUR MAINTENANCE GUYS BY TAKING DOWN (FOLDING UP) YOUR BOXES BEFORE TAKING TO TRASH ROOM.

CALLING ALL CLAMSHELLS! PLEASE RINSE OUT WITH HOT WATER AND RECYCLE... WE NEED TO HONOR OUR RECYCLING CONTRACT FOR CLEAN CLAMSHELL CON-TAINERS. THANKS FOR HELPING.
