Dataw Island Quilters Open Air Exhibit | On display yesterday at The Ruins, quilts lovingly made for the three-year-old classes at St. Helena Early Learning Center. Each quilt is gifted to a child at the start of the school year to use throughout the program before eventually taking it home to keep. A meaningful project from the Dataw Island Quilters that continues to make a lasting impact year after year.

Special athletes from three local schools hit the courts at Dataw Island for another unforgettable day of tennis, teamwork, and big smiles!

Huge thanks to the Dataw Island Tennis Association (DITA) for making it all happen—and most of all, to these amazing athletes who inspire us every time they play!
