SKYLADIES COMMITTEES:

Flower Fund   

Once again the Skyladies are requesting a voluntary donation of $15 from community families. The Flower Fund is used to send flowers or fruit baskets to permanent residents with prolonged illnesses, cards for the incapacitated or bereaved, and for memorials. Any money in the fund at year's end is applied to clubhouse projects. Please make your check payable to The Skyladies and drop it by the office or send it to: Dorothy Russell, 930 Woodland, Sautee, GA 30571

Welcome Wagon 

Newcomers often comment on how comfortable and at home they feel in Skylake even as they are unpacking. But now it's official. The Skyladies have a "Welcome Wagon". If you are new to the community or have a new neighbor, please call Chair - Louise Kinzey (706-878-3439).

Good Neighbor Program 

One of the Skyladies activities is to provide meals and any needed support to anyone in Skylake who is ill or in need of assistance.  This activity is called the Good Neighbor Program.  Everything from food to plant watering is included in this endeavor.

If you know of anyone who is ill or could use some help from our community, please call the Good Neighbor contact person listed below for your immediate neighborhood.  If your household is the one in need, please notify the Good Neighbor Section Leader as soon as your family needs some assistance.  It is very important that your area's section leader be notified to ascertain your individual needs, dietary restrictions, time frame for your need, etc. so that volunteers can be scheduled with the requested assistance you desire.

Food will be arranged in cases of hardship and when there is no family member able to help.  Meals will be delivered on an average of every other day.  It is up to the family to notify the Good Neighbor Section Leader when food is no longer needed.

Skylake Men's Club 

The Skylake Men’s Club sponsors golf tournaments, dinners, Adopt-a-mile, and other events and projects during the year. The club donates money and time for community projects; while at the same time offering an excellent opportunity to individuals to learn more about our community, and getting to know our neighbors better.  All Skylake men are eligible and encouraged to visit and join. The cost of a lifetime membership is $5.00. Scheduled meetings are the first Wednesday of every other month starting in January with a breakfast meeting held at  8:30 AM, locations to be announced.  Become a member of this vital and productive organization.

 Adopt-a-Mile  - The club sponsors and executes the road clean up once a quarter and it is looking for volunteers (women, too) to pitch in.  Meet the Trash Titans in the office parking lot at 9 a.m. on the third Thursday of January, April, July, and October.  In case of rain, the make-up is the following day.  Skylake’s mile is on the State Road 255 from mile marker 14 to mile marker 15.
