"Link Up The Vote" Continues!
"Link Up The Vote" Continues!
The Hilton Head (SC) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated is on a mission to get folks out to vote! We have gotten behind our National Trends and Services facet to get the message (flyers) out at a Gullah Food festival, a Get Out The Vote Rally, and through providing snacks and drinks for a "Get Souls To The Polls" bus service (in collaboration with local churches and organizations).
Many of us have already voted or plan to early vote ... we don't play!
Keeping with the spirit of National Voter Registration Day, the National Trends and Services facet of the Hilton Head (SC) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated spent the day registering young first time voters from the University of South Carolina Beaufort's (USCB) Bluffton Campus in partnership with the Student Government Association (SGA) and the Office of Student Life (OSL). Thirty-five (35) students were registered and treated to a "Float for a Vote" sponsored by the SGA and OSL. We thank USCB with partnering with us to "Link Up The Vote!"
We are also collaborating with local churches and organizations to help get the vote out in the upcoming election.

Wills Clinic
On October 15, 2022, members of the Hilton Head (SC) Chapter of The Links Incorporated hosted a Wills Clinic at Lovely Hill Baptist Church in Ridgeland, SC. Attorneys and volunteers from the Center for Heirs’ Property Preservation of North Charleston, SC completed free wills for the community. The focus of the event is to prevent the loss of heirs’ property due to the lack of intent surrounding its distribution that is provided by a will. Facilitated by our National Trends & Services Facet, under the leadership of Laura Singleton-Fogleman, the Chapter partners with the organization several times throughout the year to provide this service as well as financial literacy training to our community.

In March 2022, the Hilton Head (SC) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated gave back to the community today by partnering with the Center For Heirs’ Property Preservation to host a drive-thru Wills Clinic at Queen Chapel AME Church. Having a Will is one the ways to ensure that title to property will cleanly pass to known heirs and will not be subjected to the myriad of problems that come with having unclear title.
