The DIC Membership Committee will host a “Get Involved!” Expo on Tuesday, February 27, in the Carolina Ballroom from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. The Expo will be an opportunity for Dataw residents to visit booths for dozens of island clubs and local volunteer organizations to become informed about their activities and meet members in an informal atmosphere. As you know, there are many new resident members of Dataw; and this will be an opportunity for them to become well informed about the many choices available to them to volunteer their time and talents. It is also a chance for our long-term resident members to discover something new to join.
Participating organizations will have a table in the Carolina Ballroom where materials can be displayed and your representative(s) can be available to greet residents and answer questions. Obviously, there is no charge to clubs to participate, and there is no charge for residents to attend. Questions? Melanie Gentile Dataw Membership Committee (703) 501-9244

Join in at THUMBS UP CHILDREN’S CENTER on March 24, 2018, beginning at 9:00 a.m. for a Clean-Up Day!
This will be the ninth year CSUMC members will come together as an entire congregation to send volunteers of all ages to serve non-profit organizations and individuals in need within Beaufort County. Additional details and volunteer registration forms available on their Facebook page: facebook.com/csumcbeaufort/. In the meantime, please mark your calendar and plan to be a part of this very important mission. Attention parents and volunteers: due to mechanical problems with the bus, Thumbs Up will be closed on FEB. 6th – 8th.
 December has been a short, but busy month. We are grateful! Thank you to all who gave to our 2017 Giving Day & Annual Appeal (ending Dec. 31st) ; as well as to those who attended the December Benefit Car Show at Habersham. The children and several parents were also invited to attend a Christmas musical program and dinner this past Friday at Wesley United Methodist Church of Beaufort (thank you Mr. Alick Lewis & friends). Blessings continue each year when George & Linda Jones share the Christmas spirit by donating turkey food baskets to all Thumbs Up families.
Let’s not forget the wonderful congregation at St. Peter’s Catholic Church of Beaufort who showered the children with bag loads of Christmas gifts from their Angel Tree to make the season brighter. We also have lots of love for the Callawassie tutors who donated the gift that never stops giving—BOOKS FOR EVERY CHILD! Thank you to the good folks at the new Lady’s Island Walmart that donated more than 600 individual school supplies to the Thumbs Up children on Saturday! We plan to share with CAPA friends and our students’ schools. It’s all good … and isn’t that why we are here? Thumbs Up will be open on Dec. 18-19th, last day, but no tutors will be expected to attend. Thank you and have a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year! We're hosting a Secret Santa event for our Thumbs Up kids. Please consider helping celebrate the season with a donation of a wrapped gift valued under $20. We currently are shopping for boys and girls ages 6-13. Need ideas? Call or email us. Gift cards are also welcomed. Please drop off your gift before 12/14 at 914 Hamar Street, Beaufort.
