SLV Growth Surpasses Major MilestoneSavannah Lakes Village crossed a major milestone this summer as the one-thousandth
single-family home began construction at 116 Hamilton Lane in the Monticello
Neighborhood. Lee Builders Inc., a builder who has been active in Savannah Lakes Village for
16 years, presented the plans to the Architectural Control Committee and began construction
on the spec home in July. The Montgomery Homeplan (pictured below) was listed for
$279,000, which included home construction, lot, and landscaping package. On September
17, Village Real Estate informed us that Gary and Micki Shafer are in the process of buying the
“milestone home”, with plans to begin living in Savannah Lakes Village by the end of the year.
The Shafers are from Vienna, VA, where they both served and worked in the armed forces. The
home start, along with other recent home starts, raises the total number of single family
homes to 1,002. With 39 town homes, the community now has a total of 1,041 dwellings.
A New Look for News!Welcome to the all-new Villager newsletter! The new format has a three part focus:
1.) communicate upcoming events to SLV residents, 2.) keep property owners informed on
activities/events for planning visits to their community, 3.) share with families researching
recreation-based communities the lifestyle that SLV has to offer and for planning their visit.
Please take the time to forward the newsletter to friends, family, and colleagues who are
considering relocation to the Carolinas. Nothing is more powerful than a personal invitation,
and we all agree that Savannah Lakes Village on Lake Thurmond is an amazing place to live!
Welcome Gary and Micki Shafer! The Shafers are buying SLV’s 1,000 single-family home,
located at 116 Hamilton Lane. Aside from a great home with a modern floor plan, the Shafers
will enjoy spectacular views of the lakeside 3rd hole of the Monticello Golf Club.

Savannah Lakes Village Branding Initiative to
Bolster Unique Destinationand Natural Environment
Savannah Lakes Village hasn’t changed, yet the community is all
new.
That’s because we have been working hard to carefully craft a new
identity, in essence, reinventing the way that we adapt and talk
about our 23 year old community in the face of rapidly changing
recreational lifestyle interests of today’s and tomorrow’s buyers.
The first change that is noticed is a departure from the dated “golf
crest” style of the old logo. With thousands of golf course
communities across the southeast from which to choose, Savannah
Lakes Village’s opportunity is to appeal to the couple who values the
lake and the surrounding public parks and forest land as much as
they value the golf courses, recreation center, tennis complex, and
other amenities.
This is not much unlike the true buying motivations of our
community’s existing residents and property owners. Previous
surveys of the membership have identified the lake and the natural
environment as being the key decision factors for buying in
Savannah Lakes Village, versus other communities that offer similar
facilities and amenities as SLV. Most importantly from a community
growth perspective, these are the same criteria that are consistently
identified in market research surveys regarding the purchase
motivators of today's and tomorrow's buyers (particularly the
boomer segment that is now between 48 – 66 years old). This is
the sweet spot for Savannah Lakes Village where market trends
meet our community's authentic strengths and create a very visible
point of difference for couples that are trying to decide between
5,000 + golf course communities across the South.
Another notable addition to the community’s brand mark is the
phrase “Lake Thurmond - SC.” A stronger connection with the lake
and South Carolina within the brand mark is very strategic. Lake
living now ranks closely with coastal living as a preferred
destination, while North and South Carolina are now the top two
most preferred states for inmigration for families seeking
recreational/retirement communities. The connection with South
Carolina also supports the ongoing relationship we have with South
Carolina Tourism and the South Carolina National Heritage Corridor.
The rebranding project was identified and budgeted as a part of the
2012 marketing plan, which was prepared in 2011 and presented
earlier this year. The need for rebranding was also documented in
the recent strategic plan. We have been working on the rebranding
process for over a year now. With a very strong and favorable
community response to the proposed branding report presented
and distributed in August, we are moving forward with advertising
copy, printed promotional materials, new website development,
and new signage programs. New postcards and vehicle window
decals are now available at the Savannah Lakes Village facilities.
Additional merchandise will be available soon.

Town Hall Meetings Set For Tara Renovation Process
Earlier this year, the Board in cooperation with the Food Services Committee authorized the
creation of an ADHOC Committee to determine the need, cost and value of upgrading dining
facilities. The members of the ADHOC Committee include a cross section of our community
including representatives from the Board, the Finance, Golf, Strategic Planning and Food
Services Committees, as well as David Twiggs, COO; Larry Dinkins, CFO, Jerry Kent, F&B
Director, and, also two "at large" members, Lou Reste and Ken Bastow.
The committee has met many times over the past few months to first of all identify all the
issues and challenges that need to be addressed to support the community's dining require-
ments and increase member utilization, while all the time keeping in mind that any changes
recommended for our facilities, particularly at Tara, need to accommodate all types of
functions and activities from upscale events to casual dining. Equally important is the fact
that our community needs a facility that will be appealing to, and, attract prospective buyers
to support the growth of our community.
The Committee has developed a preliminary plan to address the above issues and set two
townhall meetings to present the plan. The first meeting was held on September 12, 2012,
and was attended by 150 members.
The second meeting will take place on October 3, 2012 at 6 p.m. at the Recreation Center.

Dailey & Vincent to Open for GLPA SeasonIf you're a bluegrass music fan, you'll want to be at Lander University
on Monday evening, October 8, when Greenwood Lander Performing
Arts opens its 66th season with Dailey & Vincent, who music critics
have described as "the hottest band in bluegrass." They've been
named the International Bluegrass Music Association's entertainers
of the year and vocal group of the year three years in a row. In 2011,
they took home seven Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music
Association awards. Tickets for Dailey & Vincent are $30 for adults and
$25 for young people under 18 and may be purchased by calling the
GLPA office at 864-388-8326. When you call, ask about season passes
for all five shows in GLPA's outstanding 2012-2013 season.
Dinner with O'Keefe Friday, September 21 the McCormick Arts Council (MACK) is holding

Garden of the Month
The McCormick Garden Club is pleased to honor the Savannah Point
entrance of Savannah Lake Village as the 2012 September Garden of
the Month. While it has always been an attractive entrance, about
five years ago the residents with Josh Sandt as the lead began
intensively managing the flora in public areas. The Savannah Point
volunteers have workdays as needed. They have planted over
10,000 daffodil bulbs and continue to add another 2,000 each year,
thus making a trip around the one way street in the spring an
absolute must! Next time you are on Huguenot Parkway, slow
down and enjoy the beauty of this entrance. If you have time, drive
Bereau Drive and you will see lovely garden vignettes the full length
of the street.
Corps Signs Coop Agreement for Campground OperationsThe U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Savannah District has
signed a cooperative agreement with Outdoor Recreation and
Outreach Inc. (OR&O) for the daily operations of five campgrounds
on Lake Thurmond. The agreement, signed July 25, will go into
effect on Oct. 1 at the following campgrounds: Modoc, Petersburg,
Raysville, Ridge Road, and Winfield. The Corps anticipates that
campers will not experience any significant changes in facilities and
services; however, the new agreement will change the way
camping fees are spent. "Our park visitors will see very little
difference in the way our parks are operated," said Scott Hyatt,
Corps Operations Project Manager for the J. Strom Thurmond
Project. "Instead of camping revenues going to the U.S. Treasury,
this new agreement will allow fees collected at a campground to be
re-invested in that particular campground."

1st Annual Arts in the Blueway Paddle-MACKThe McCormick Arts Council (MACK) held its first "Arts in the Blueway" event
on Labor Day 2012 at the Baker Creek State Park cove and pavilion. Over 35
participants came out to enjoy a beautiful morning on the water. There were
kayaking heats, a learning station for first timers, and eco-tours. Everyone
had a great time, and best of all, over $1,000 was raised to support the local
arts programs at the MACK.
