Horace Kinsey Retires New Manager Announced

Posted 12/8/22: Horace Kinsey has announced his retirement as the Manager of the Ocean Ridge MPOA. Deborah Hargis has been selected as his replacement. You may recognize Deborah from her eight plus years as Town Clerk for Edisto Beach or from her years as a Happie Truck driver. She has been a permanent resident of Edisto Island since 2012, and her parents Henry and Harriett Tindall have owned their home on Palmetto Boulevard since 1965. She has spent her summers here since that time. Deborah is the proud mother of two grown daughters: Ellison, a school counselor in Burlington, NC and Mary Bryce, who works for education software company IXL and lives in Las Vegas. In her spare time, Deborah enjoys spending time on her family’s farm in Calhoun County and reading.

Horace will continue working with Deborah during a period of transition. All inquiries should now be directed to Deborah.  We are very grateful to Horace for his years of service to the MPOA and happily welcome Deborah as the new Manager.

NextDoor Fradulent Letters

Posted 5/4/22:  BE AWARE: One of our community neighbors has reported a situation we felt you should be aware of. Neighbor A received a letter inviting them to join a group called NextDoor, and it was supposedly signed by Neighbor B. When Neighbor A asked Neighbor B about the letter, it was a complete surprise to Neighbor B, because she had sent no such letter. So please, be aware that there are fraudulent letters being circulated that present themselves as being from someone in our neighborhood. Be sure to check with the neighbor whose name has been signed to make sure it is legitimate before joining any organization/group.
