The meeting will be at 7 p.m. at Eastbridge Presbyterian Church, located near our entrance. Hallman is expected to speak and take questions during the first part of the meeting, so residents are urged to arrive on time.

Hallman, 72, has been the town's mayor since September of 2000. Mt. Pleasant's population has grown significantly during his tenure, with much of that growth having occurred near our subdivision on the town's northern end. Hallman is expected to talk about how the town is accommodating all the new residents, businesses and traffic.

All Ivy Hall residents are encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting. Much is going on in and around the neighborhood, so this is your chance to get a firsthand status report. It's also an opportunity to ask questions and discuss matters with board members. We will be presenting some ideas on which we would like your input.

In addition, we will have an election to fill at least five open seats on our nine-member board. Please consider nominating yourself at the meeting. Serving on the board is a great way to get to know residents and stay on top of neighborhood issues.

We look forward to your attendance. However, if you can't attend, please fill out a proxy (POA members should have received one in the mail or you can download a copy here in Acrobat® PDF) and place it in our drop box or send it to us at Ivy Hall, c/o Odessa Companies, 1233 Ben Sawyer Blvd., suite 200, Mt. Pleasant, SC, 29464. The form may also be faxed to 843-856-8785.

In advance of the meeting, residents are also asked to complete and return a survey that asks for suggestions on how to improve the neighborhood. A PDF copy of the survey may be downloaded here. After filling it out, please place it in our drop box or mail it to the address above. Thank you!
