Dear Residents and Friends of Sullivan's Island: 
Hurricane season started June 1st and now is the best time to get prepared. Sullivan's Island teams up with Isle of Palms to hold a Disaster Preparedness Expo tomorrow, June 13th (see details in this newsletter).  The SI Lighthouse turns "50" and Park Rangers have planned a birthday celebration on June 16th.  Finally, please plan to support your Fire & Rescue Squad by participating in one or both of their June fundraising events:  Floppin' Flounder Race/Walk on June 16th or Fish Fry on June 30th.  As always, we encourage you to check our website often for updated news and events.

Community Garden
Sullivan's Island residents have started a community garden located in front of Battery Gadsden, not far from the Library (1921 I'On Ave) or the Cultural Center.  Boxes have been constructed and planting is underway.  Volunteers and contributions are welcome, and special spots are reserved for children.  If you would like to help, contribute or get more information, contact Carlsen Huey by email at [email protected]

Yard Notes & Tips
 
Doing yard work? Keep these guidelines in mind:
  
RIGHTS-OF-WAY: No plants, fences, structures  or obstructions are allowed in the right-of-way. 
NO PLASTIC BAGS: Charleston County accepts
clippings in paper bags but will no longer collect items in plastic bags. 
CUT limb sizes down: 4 feet or less
PACE YOURSELF: Town Contractor, Suburban Disposal, can only pick up small piles of yard debris from each home each week.  Put out small piles each week to ensure it all gets picked up.  
CURB IT: Yard debris is placed at the end of your curb on Tuesday evening for pick-up on Wednesdays.
CONTRACTORS: Carry it away.
If you hire a landscape contractor, the contractor must haul away the debris.  
NOTE: Suburban Disposal does not pick up yard debris on vacant lots or on lots where it appears a contractor has worked.
