Have you ever had a fascination to watch or learn basic magic? The Landings Magic Society is composed of novice and professional magicians who’d love for you to join us.
Many of our members learned a bit of magic as kids, and some even performed for their children’s and grandchildren’s birthday parties. Others have performed professionally and enjoy sharing their talents with crowds large and small.
With the popularity of America’s Got Talent and other television competitions, magic once again is popular.
The Landings Magic Society meets monthly from October through May on the second Thursday at 7 p.m. in Plantation Club’s Card Room. Anyone interested in magic is welcomed to attend the meetings. Each month, members perform a new “trick” and discuss new magic we have seen. We also host a “how-to” session to teach newcomers how to do some basic magic, and periodically we invite professional magicians to join us for a magic show. Every meeting is instructional, entertaining, and enlightening.
For more information, please contact Jim Ruhl (jsruhl@gmail.com or 912-856-3948) or Bill Sickels (whsickels@gmail.com or 912-598-9123).

The objective of CCA Skidaway is to conserve, promote and enhance the present and future availability of coastal resources for the benefit and enjoyment of the residents of Skidaway Island and the surrounding areas.
We consider ourselves the voice of the recreational fisherman both in Congress and elsewhere in the states so the fishery is managed with anglers just like you and me in mind. We want to enjoy it and hopefully our children and their children can enjoy this great fishery that we have as well.
On the second Monday of each month we offer educational seminars on wide ranging topics at St. Peters. These are open to our members as well as to the public at no charge. Recent topics have included cleaning and cooking sea trout and redfish, Kayak fishing, Skidaway Island deer and wildlife population management. Many of the presentations, like the one Crawfish Crawford does, are a lot of fun for kids. We have created a lagoon guide that shows which lagoons are fresh water and which ones are brackish as well as how the piping systems tie them all together. We also have members that are active in fly fishing.
Do you have a dog? Great – so do we!
Do you have a park? No? We do! Come share it!
The Dog Park is located near the Water Tower along Landings Way North and Wiley Bottom Road.
Please register your dog with the Landings Association before bringing him/her to the park.
Landings Landlovers: Enriching the Community We Love
The Landings has many wonderful groups and organizations that tend to our health and safety, beautify our environment and provide cultural and educational programs for us to enjoy.
The Landings Landlovers was established in 1974. Its purpose is to promote fellowship through social and cultural activities while working toward the continued improvement of community life at The Landings through its philanthropic efforts.
Landlovers sponsors numerous activities, social events and fundraising projects – and volunteers run all of them! Landlovers members work hard throughout the year to raise money. We are then able to fulfill Landings Landlovers philanthropic tradition of improving life at The Landings by funding the plans and projects of many individuals and groups.
In 1990 a small but visionary group of people on Skidaway Island conceived the idea of a community library. It started out small with books donated by residents in a store front located in the commercial section of the island. Through the generosity of many people a building was constructed in 1996. Today we have close to 2,900 members and 24,000 books.
Unlike tax supported public libraries, we receive no funds from Federal, State or local governments. Our funding comes from membership fees, donations, book rentals, the sale of used books and engraved bricks. Because we are a Section 501 (c) (3) organization, all donations are tax deductible.

Telfair Academy Guild, or TAG as it is known, was formed over 40 years ago in 1976, by a group of women who wanted to support the goals and activities of Telfair Museums. Over the years, TAG has raised significant funds and contributed untold hours of volunteerism.
TAG meetings take place each month and include lectures and behind-the-scenes information about museum activities. Art education is the primary focus for TAG’s presented events. Proceeds help fund the Telfair’s lecture series and other selected projects.
TAG at NIGHT: TAG also offers evening meetings at 5:30pm every other month, September through May. These are held at local art venues, where you will be welcomed with wine and hors d’oeuvres.
