Update on The Port...

As you noted in the Gazette today, yesterday the Budget and Control Board appointed the State Ports Authority as the agent to sell the port. This is an interesting event because: the Budget and Control Board was set to take over the sale of the property on Jan 1,2010, there is an active buyer who might close in January, however, the BCB doesn't meet in January so this move helps the matter proceed. However, it also removes ANY time constraints on the signing-this presents a huge problem for Port Royal since the town is losing potential revenue every month that the property remains in the hands of the State. The town is attempting now to add a time limit on this assignment of sales agency to the SPA in an effort to put some incentive on someone to get the deal done--more to come....Joe

BEAUFORT COUNTY YMCA”S YOUTH BASKETBALL REGISTRATION NOW!

Port Royal, SC – Winter Youth Basketball league kicks-off at the Wardle Family YMCA and will continue until Friday, December 11th.  The league is open to both boys and girls ages 3-13 and is a great way to not only learn the fundamentals of basketball and sportsmanship, but also to develop a physical activity routine.

The season officially begins the week of January 4th and ends February 25th.  “Our winter Basketball League at the Wardle Family YMCA exhibits high standards of ethics and sportsmanship while promoting the development of good character,” says Mike Bostwick, CEO, Wardle Family YMCA.

Without the assistance of volunteer coaches, the YCMA could not operate its Sports Leagues. Experience is not always necessary, so do not be discouraged. If you are interested in volunteering, please attend the FREE coaches clinic on Saturday, December 19th to brush up on basic basketball skills and to learn fun, new ones. 

Interested participants can sign-up at the YMCA on 1801 Richmond Avenue in Port Royal.  The cost is $40 for YMCA members and $60 for community participants. Scholarship assistance is available to those who qualify.


For more information, call 843-522-9622
