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 />

the <strong>Hampton</strong> <strong>Hall</strong> <strong>Club</strong>.

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 />

group classes to take advantage of this service.<br />

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

Monday ~ Tuesday ~ Wednesday ~ Friday<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 />

The Links ...Captain’s Corner<br />

8<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 />
