The Savannah Infrastructure Committee is starting a new Village Ambassador program in 2025 and is looking for some additional volunteers from each village to help. We especially need volunteers from Sea Pines, PeachTree and Azalea.

This program will involve keeping an eye on all public HOA amenities, trails, and parks in each village and reporting anything that needs repaired, repainted, replaced, etc.

HelpYour Community!

The ideal Village Ambassador is someone who regularly walks throughout their area (walker/jogger, dog walker, playground/park user, etc) and can easily spot issues and report them as needed.

We are hoping to kick this program off in February, so sign up today! If interested, please reach out to Infrastructure@Savannahca.com!

SAVANNAH LEAF COMPETITION

Congrats,Winners!

The Dopson Family gathered bags of leaves for Sea Pines Village!

The Cutter Family gathered bags of leaves for Greenview Village!

WantToBeTheNextWinner?

The leaf competition is still on! It’s that time of year when leaves are starting to fall and blanket our beautiful community. We would love to keep our streets clean and safe so we are continuing a fun competition to see which Savannah village can pick up the most leaves. We understand that some of the more established villages might have a little advantage with more mature trees but let’s all do we can and put in our maximum effort. You can always clean up your neighbor’s leaves as well; we’re sure they wouldn’t mind a helping hand!

Interested in participating?

Here’s what to do: first, post pictures of your full leaf bags in front of your home on our Infrastructure Facebook page and be sure to include your village name. For every full leaf bag, we will award you one virtual raffle ticket. During the competition, we will draw raffle tickets live on Facebook and award gift cards to the selected winners. In addition, the village with the highest total of full leaf bags will get a free pizza village block party in 2025, at the Savannah Resort pool, to celebrate their achievement!

Click the button below to sign up for our Infrastructure Facebook page, join the competition, and let’s not “leaf” anything on the field!

Call For Committee Members!

Sports Committee And Finance Committee

Associations would have a hard time existing without volunteers. They're the lifeblood of both Savannah and Isabella Village. Successful communities those where residents are united by common goals and interests are created by a broad base of active volunteers. This broad volunteer base brings essential diversity to the association viewpoints, opinions, ideas, talents, and contributions, and we need your support.

The importance of volunteerism cannot be overstated. It builds social bonds, reduces isolation, provides the satisfaction of accomplishment, decreases feelings of powerlessness, gives residents a sense of control, and makes community associations vibrant and thriving places to live.

We are currently seeking volunteers for two committees:

The Sports Committee: Actively seeking Savannah residents who would love to engage and connect through recreational sports and activities.

The Finance Committee: Actively seeking Savannah residents with a passion for fiscal responsibility and community growth.

If you would like to volunteer with each of these committees, please email Manager@SavannahCA.com for more information!
