COMMUNITY NEWS AND UPDATES
New Logo for Indian River Colony Club, FL
Indian River Colony Club, FL: Designs new logo.

One year after initiating the marketing project, a committee comprised of residents ultimately recommended a red, white and blue design enclosed within a shield to suggest a patriotic, five-star Florida golf community. Various iterations of the new identifications are being installed on community signage, the website and all marketing-related materials. Send me more information about Indian River Colony Club! xx
WHAT’S GOING ON AT…
Bluebird Event at Palmetto Bluff, SC
Palmetto Bluff, SC: Bluebird event scheduled this month.
> Palmetto Bluff, Bluffton SC and its Conservancy team have Bluebird Survey Orientation event scheduled for Wed., July 22 from 9 to 11:30 A.M. One of many Research Excursions regularly offered by the Conservancy, this experience allows participants to spend the morning with one of the Educators, Aaron, as he monitors his portion of the 70-plus bluebird boxes spread throughout Palmetto Bluff.
A bluebird survey is a citizen science effort where volunteers monitor and collect data on bluebird populations, typically by observing nest boxes, and recording information like the number of eggs and fledglings. These surveys help scientists understand bluebird breeding success, track population trends, and gather other vital information. Proper walking shoes and long pants required.
