The start of Men's 2025 Bible Study is Monday, January 27th at 8 AM at the Odman's home. 
 
We meet every other Monday at the Giblin's home or Odman's. Typically we have a four to six series on DVD lead by a well known Bible teacher. After listening to the speaker on the DVD we follow with a discussion sharing various points of view. This is always an informative time as we all come from various backgrounds and denominations. This time is then followed by a time of prayer.

Effective March 1, 2025 property owners must comply with the KVCA's New Bear Wise Policy and requirements.  In a presentation to our members, The SC Dept. of Natural Resources emphasized that our community and surrounding area is ground zero for the dens, birth and proliferation of black bears.  Bearwise.org aims to assist communities like ours co-exist with bears in a safe and responsible way.  The new policy addresses safety recommendations but also, importantly, addresses restricting human provided food sources from trash to pet food.  Please read the policy and in particular the requirements for bear proof refuse containers if you rent or lease your property or if you leave your container outside for pick up.  Contractors also must comply, in particular if they have dumpsters on site then they must also provide a bear proof container for their workers food trash, such as containers, cups etc.

The KVCA has updated the Rental Rules & Procedures in response to concerns by KVCA members who have encountered occupants of leased / rented properties who did not conduct themselves in a manner consistent with our Covenants and community standards.  After a careful review of the existing process, which had been in place well over a decade, the Board concluded the time was right to revisit this area and revise the framework to better ensure these arrangements do not impinge upon property owners in the community who choose not to make their properties available to non-KVCA members.  To access the new rental rules and procedures CLICK HERE.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, February 1st, 9:30 am at the Keowee Vineyards Clubhouse.  In early December, an annual meeting document package was mailed to every property owner using the mail address on record.
