Community Committees

Let's Get These Parties Started!

WHY: The Committee plans and executes POA-sponsored community-wide social events. 

Examples from last year include the Pool Party, Chili and Pie Cookoff, July 4th Parade & Brunch and Christmas Party. This year will include Trivia Nights, Pool Party, July 4th Parade & Brunch, Octoberfest and

Christmas Party! We invite everyone interested in learning more about the Events Committee and/or volunteering to support one or more of the Bull Point POA-sponsored social events, contact us below for meeting times. Email Julie Strategos We hope you'll join us!

Goal: to act as resident representatives regarding priorities and recommendations to the BOD on all issues or projects related to the swimming pool and pool facilities. We hope to meet with a representative of Year Round Pool to get an update on pending projects and their recommendations for future projects needed to maintain our pool. We hope to help create an operating schedule for the pool.

We would include in our efforts various pool related activities, such as the pressure washing, furniture

placement, hot tub repair and maintenance and pool resurfacing. We also plan on working with the

Maintenance Committee to create a preventive maintenance schedule for the pool and related facilities.

We would like to work with Atlantic States Mgmt on some small projects that can be completed prior to

pool opening, such as replacing the refrigerator door handle and making sure the restrooms are in

proper order. Finally, we would like to act as first point of contact for all residents who have complaints or suggested improvements for the pool area. We would communicate these comments regularly to the board and coordinate with Jenny as needed.

We welcome additional committee members. Please contact Marie Schotter or Tammy Westerman if

you’d like to be part of the committee.

Objective:

Review the status, plan, and make recommendations regarding our Capital Facilities, Infrastructure, and Maintenance requirements, in order to facilitate maintaining and enhancing the Value and Beauty of our Community and all of its assets.

Goals:

• Make sure the Amenities are functional, safe, and meet the needs of current and future property owners
• Create a working document describing the current physical status of all amenities
• Establish a regular, general maintenance plan for all amenities and infrastructure (using the “2019  Reserve Study” as a base)
• Determine major immediate maintenance needs of Capital Facilities and Infrastructure, and prioritize their implementation over the next three years
• Make recommendations to the Board of Directors, with financial estimates of Capital Facilities and Infrastructure needing immediate attention

If you are interested in volunteering with this committee, email Jay Coleman rjcole131@gmail.com and Geoff Mentus  gmentus@gmail.com. Please be sure to include any special knowledge, skills, and experience you possess (e.g. Architecture, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Carpentry, Estimating & Project Management).

The goal of the Welcome Committee is to make each new homeowner fee that they are an important

part of the Bull Point Community. New Residents (both resale and newly built) are contacted and visited

by a pair of our committee members. 

The committee members bring updated information on the Board, committees and a list of upcoming events, along with a packet of Bull Point Notecards. Beaufort

information is now also being included in this packet. The visits last about a half hour.

The committee also organizes a quarterly Meet and Greet so all members of the community and get to

know the new residents who have moved into Bull Point during the past 3 months.

No long meetings to attend. Much of the work is done by email. Presently we have 8 on the committee. We are looking for more members who would enjoy meeting and helping new residents make the transition to Bull Point and life in Gardens Corner.

If you are interested, please email Sandy Dimke or call Sandy at 843-263-4340 for more information.

The Bull Point Community Service Committee will focus on fostering a relationship with the Boys and Girls Club of Sheldon. In 2022, Bull Point residents took part in the first Giving Christmas Tree for the children. It was a huge success! 

This year we are hoping to expand our relationship with the Boys and Girls Club by hosting a River Cabin picnic, teaching craft classes (Ginny Bankov has been doing this for years), sponsoring much needed maintenance updates to their facility in Sheldon and the Giving Christmas Tree will be held in December. Please contact Heidi Strauser heidi@catwaterwho.com if you

are interested in volunteering to help The Boys and Girls Club of Sheldon.

Although Beech Hill has taken over the basic mowing and blowing of the roads, it is now apparent that

the community still needs a committee to address the beautification of our common amenity areas.

We are a group to develop overall short and long term plans for these areas. The plan to beautify and improve our amenities may include decorative plantings, additional hardscape, lighting and so on. Although the group may get involved in identifying and sourcing plants and materials, the implementation of these plans would be accomplished by Beech Hill or some other outside contractor. The Committee’s plans will take into consideration the cost of ongoing maintenance including wildlife constraints (Deer resistant plantings).

At this time, the Committee has no budget so each individual project will be presented to the Board of

Directors for approval and implementation. The committee now has 5 members and we are looking for a few more members who may be knowledgeable about plants and growing conditions or landscape design to assist us in planning.

If you would like to join or get more information about the committee, please contact Russ Dimke at

russdimke@gmail.com or 843-846-9580.

The purpose of this committee is to conduct a comprehensive review of safety and security of our

neighborhood, to present improvement options to the POA Board, and to implement Board approved

measures. The committee will perform a vulnerability assessment of Bull Point, work with safety and

security vendors, and perhaps visit other neighborhoods, to gain knowledge and develop alternative courses of action. 

The committee will be concerned with such things as physical security, access systems, cameras, guard procedures and training, lighting, and other security related matters.
