Dear Neighbors,<br />
On behalf of the <strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> Community Foundation,<br />
thank you very much for your participation in the snack food<br />
drive for Chris Wilson who was deployed to Afghanistan in September.<br />
Thanks to your generosity, we collected over 35 grocery bags of snack<br />
foods plus a 22 pound box of snacks shipped directly from Kelloggs of<br />
Battle Creek (courtesy of a generous neighbor.) The foods were<br />
boxed up and shipped to Afghanistan this week where they will be<br />
enjoyed by Chris and his fellow airmen. The photo below shows the<br />
collected snacks with Debbie Wilson, her three children – Audrey,<br />
Ava, and Nickolas, and Karen Cullen and Bob Koenig, who<br />
coordinated the food drive for the Foundation.<br />
Chris is a 23-year veteran pilot whose<br />
home base is Hunter Army Airfield in<br />
Savannah. He is currently stationed in<br />
Kandahar, Afghanistan where he flies<br />
daily surveillance missions in a modified<br />
Super King Air known as a RC-12N. A<br />
similar plane is shown in the photo below.<br />
Debbie asked us to convey her thanks to you all for your generosity.<br />
Please remember to keep Chris and his fellow servicemen and women<br />
in your prayers.<br />
Regards,<br />
Karen Cullen<br />

<strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> Health Fair<br />
By: Bob Koenig<br />
85 <strong>Club</strong> Members attended the community’s first<br />
Health Fair on November 15, 2010. The Health Fair<br />
featured medical staff from Beaufort Memorial<br />
Hospital who provided various blood tests, flu shots,<br />
blood pressure, and screenings for prostate, breast<br />
and skin cancer. Also on hand were 17 health-care<br />
professionals and related services to answer<br />
questions and provide information. A<br />
representative of the Bluffton Township Fire District<br />
provided a demonstration on the use of portable<br />
defibrillators. The attendees enjoyed a tasty<br />
assortment of baked goods and refreshments and<br />
received a coupon for a free drink with dinner on<br />
Thursday, November 18, both courtesy of the<br />
<strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> <strong>Club</strong>. Winners of the free fitness class<br />
raffle drawings were: Jack MacNeil, Sharon Brager,<br />
Annegret Kmeth, and Joe Burke. The gift<br />
certificates were provided by the <strong>Club</strong> Fitness<br />
Center. The Health Fair was<br />
sponsored jointly by the <strong>Hampton</strong><br />
<strong>Hall</strong> Community Foundation and<br />

Fitness Tip<br />
By Bonnie Price, Fitness Director<br />
Why is Massage Therapy Important today?<br />
In our hustle and bustle world, stress is all around us. We sit for hours<br />
in front of our computers, televisions or in cars, and do repetitive<br />
movements that overuse our hands. Tension knots show up in the<br />
neck, upper back and shoulders and no amount of stretching or<br />
working out will get rid of it. Massage therapy is a method of<br />
stretching and applying pressure to these areas to relieve the pain<br />
and also to increase the flow of blood into the tissue, removing all<br />
the toxins that have become embedded due to all that we<br />
encounter in our daily lives through the air we breath, the water<br />
we drink and the food we eat.<br />
Come meet our new massage therapist Laurie Holmes and feel<br />
the benefits that a massage can offer. Laurie has worked<br />
extensively on all types of athletes and injury cases and has<br />
even worked on babies and small children. She has also become<br />
adept at energy balance and cranial sacral work which she incorporates<br />
into her customized programs. She is available 6 days a<br />
week so call 843-815-8740 or 954-439-1786 and make your appointment<br />
today.<br />
Complimentary Childcare<br />
Complimentary Childcare is offered to all<br />
Members. You are not required to participate in<br />

Childcare is now offered the following days and times:<br />

Tennis Talk<br />
By: Rich Swartzwelder<br />
The fall tennis USTA season ended with the 3.5 super senior<br />
men’s 70 team going 5-0 before losing in the playoffs. The 3.5<br />
super senior men’s 60 team finished at 2-7. The inter-club<br />
season has started with the men’s 3.0 team at 0-1 and the 3.5<br />
men’s team at 0-2.<br />
The big news is the ladies’ Colleton<br />
River~<strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> inter-club team has<br />
finished their season undefeated with a<br />
spotless record of 11-0. This very strong team<br />
was led by captains Aileen Dorfman and Mary<br />
Ellen Laster. Congratulations, ladies!<br />
The courts are looking very good. Please remember to brush<br />
the courts after use.<br />
A 2011 Tennis Advisory Board ran unopposed and presents a<br />
very strong lineup to head the tennis program in 2011. The<br />
new board members are the following:<br />
Chair ~ Tammy Winslow<br />
Vice Chair ~ Mary Ellen Laster (2012 chair)<br />
Member-at-Large ~ Tisha Chafer (2 years)<br />
Member-at-Large ~ Aileen Dorfman (1 year)<br />
Member-at-Large ~ Mike Ehlen (1 year)<br />
Congratulations and best wishes to all the members of the 2011<br />
board.<br />
The new board members will be welcomed at the Annual<br />
Community Tennis Meeting on Wednesday, December 8, 2010<br />
from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM in the Community <strong>Club</strong>house’s<br />
Pinckney Room. All tennis enthusiasts should plan on attending<br />
this meeting.<br />
My last two years as the chairman of the tennis advisory board<br />
have been very rewarding. The <strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> tennis program<br />
has grown from one men’s team to about a dozen teams this<br />
year. The tennis mailing list has 80 players of all ages. We<br />
have structure now to our growing tennis organization and a<br />
dialog with <strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> management. Rules have been put<br />
in place. The conditions of the tennis courts have improved<br />
dramatically. Some nice functional additions have improved<br />
the look and feel of the tennis facility that includes the shed,<br />
instructional signs on the court gates, a tennis information<br />
board, a ball machine, a drinking fountain, bleachers and a<br />
gazebo. I’ve totally enjoyed being the point person for our<br />
tennis program. Thanks to everyone who have helped support<br />
the growth of tennis at <strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Hall</strong>.<br />

By Alan Prenoveau,<br />
Men’s Golf Society<br />
Your new Board has hit the ground running and making<br />
excellent progress on a variety of fronts. One of the things<br />
we’ve agreed is that everything (programs, procedures, etc.)<br />
needs to be reviewed periodically and there are a couple of<br />
things we’ll be focusing on immediately. Among them are<br />
how we staff the Tournament Committee, Inter-<strong>Club</strong> play,<br />
how we publish this year’s handbook, the Hole-in-One<br />
program, and our annual January meeting.<br />
Staffing the Tournament Committee<br />
Our intent this year is for the Tournament Committee to be<br />
made up of the heads of each major tournament and Rod<br />
Carlson, our MGS Golf Director. Then the head of each<br />
tournament will create his team of volunteers to actually<br />
plan, coordinate, and run each event. Rod is working hard to<br />
solicit volunteers to head up each of this year’s major events.<br />
We welcome anyone interested in chairing a tournament or<br />
working on one of the tournament teams.<br />
Inter-<strong>Club</strong> Play<br />
The HHMGS will assume responsibility for coordinating<br />
<strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Hall</strong>’s participating in the Inter-<strong>Club</strong> activity.<br />
Dennis Cavner and Bob Doerr are our co-captains for this<br />
activity. There will be an informational meeting December 9,<br />
2010 for those interested in participating.<br />
Hole-in-One Program<br />
Mary Claire, Terrence, and the entire <strong>Club</strong> staff do a great job<br />
of supporting the Hole-in-One parties but several<br />
Members are used to this type of program being structured<br />
differently. Dennis Cavner and George Ragland have been<br />
tasked with reviewing our current program, recommending<br />
options for modifying the program, and discussing these<br />
options with the HHLGS.<br />
Handbook Publication<br />
Rod and I sat down with Gary Otto and LGS officers to agree<br />
and confirm this year’s golf calendar. And, we also agreed to<br />
publish one common handbook with the intent of having one<br />
comprehensive calendar of events that includes HHMGS,<br />
HHLGS, and outside events as well as dates for course<br />
maintenance activity. Mark Larson will coordinate with the<br />
LGS to publish this handbook in January.<br />
Annual January Kickoff Meeting<br />
George Ragland and Don Rolston have already locked down<br />
January 15 and the menu for this event. Breakfast will be<br />
followed by a shotgun shambles event. Mark this on your<br />
calendars. It was a great time last year. And, as always, if<br />
anyone (HHMGS member or otherwise) would like to discuss<br />
how we could improve the Society and its impact on the<br />
<strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> golfing experience, please reach out to me or<br />
any of the other Board members. We’d appreciate hearing<br />
from you. See you on the links!<br />
By Jenny McCord,<br />
Ladies’ Golf Society<br />
During the month of November, the Board worked<br />
diligently to appoint the 2011 committee and events<br />
chair persons. At this posting, the calendar for the<br />
upcoming year will be a combined effort between the<br />
men’s and ladies’ golf societies. The plan is to have the<br />
books available for everyone in January. Also, the<br />
committees and events along with the heads of<br />
each will be posted in the ladies locker room with the<br />
participants listed. If you are interested in any of these,<br />
please contact the appropriate head of that committee.<br />
The Board has also appointed a By-Laws committee to<br />
review the current by-laws and play day guidelines for<br />
update and revision. This will be presented in the<br />
upcoming year.<br />
Congratulations and welcome to our newest members<br />
of the ladies golf society. Diane Tull, Debbie Belanger,<br />
and Charlene Jones recently joined our group. We look<br />
forward to sharing some great rounds of golf here at<br />
our wonderful course.<br />
Don’t forget to sign up for the Holly Scramble and the<br />
Mixed Holiday <strong>Eve</strong>nt coming up early in December.<br />
It’s been a great year so far and we look forward to all<br />
