FROM THE LIFESTYLE DESK

Dear Cresswind Homeowners,

Hard to imagine that March is already upon us! We

had a very busy February with lots of fun events that

happened. Thank you to Dennis Kraus for doing the

Grilled Brick Chicken out on the patio—what a fun

day!

We’ve had three new families move into Cresswind

in February and are looking forward to four more

closings in March. Please welcome them to

Cresswind!

In March we have the Frogmore Stew Crew cooking

for us, The Ron Gartner Show out in the

Amphitheater, Healthy Cooking Demo, tour of the

Dorchester County Archives & History Center and of

course, the Kelly Tours Travel Club going to

Savannah for St. Patrick’s Day. The Ladies Lunch

will be gathering again at the end of the month at St.

Paul’s Tearoom and of course we’ll end the month

with Happy Hour!

On a personal note, I would like to thank each and

every one of you for everything you’ve done and

continue to do for me every day. The warm reception

you’ve given me here at Cresswind is nothing short

of overwhelming. Your kindness is beyond words

and I couldn’t be more grateful for all the kind

words of support from everyone. For all of the new

residents moving into Cresswind, I just have to say

you’ve moved into an exceptional neighborhood of

generous and caring people. Again, thank you from

the bottom of my heart. I’m very, very blessed to

know you all.
