Whereas, by 1976, nine holes of golf opened and there were twelve residents. By 1979, when the Club had its grand opening, two hundred residents attended the gala. In 1987, the membership purchased and began to operate the community under its first Board of Directors; and
Whereas, today Keowee Key is a sixteen hundred-acre gated community with thirty-two miles of paved roads and fifteen miles of lake shoreline. The community has grown to over sixteen hundred homes and over three thousand members and is governed by a volunteer member Board of Directors; and
Whereas, Keowee Key's amenity lifestyle includes country club dining, an eighteen-hole golf course, fitness center, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, three pools, three walking trails, and two marinas; and
Whereas, Keowee Key is poised for the future after recently updating all of its amenities, completing a dozen projects in four years with a total investment of sixteen million dollars; and
Whereas, the Keowee Key community will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary over the summer with a variety of activities, culminating in a 50th Gala event at the Club in September; and
Whereas, the residents of Keowee Key have made significant contributions to Oconee County through volunteering their time and talents. Their fifty years of generosity have greatly enriched the community; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate deeply appreciate the dedication and commitment of Keowee Key to serving the people and the State of South Carolina. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
