Tuesday Start Pushing for Improved Transit on Folly Road and Back to the Beach

Tuesday on Sol Legare & James Islands
Sol Legare Island and parts of James Island will get a personal invitation to come to Best Friends of Lowcountry Transit’s Sunday, July 1 Folly Road Freedom Fish Fry fundraiser on Tuesday, June 26 when members of Best Friends of Lowcountry Transit and volunteers will go door to door in the community bringing information about the upcoming Sunday event at historic Mosquito Beach and our plans to work towards improved bus service on Folly Road and all the way out to the beach. Plans for a “Folly Ferry” serving Charleston, James Island, Sol Legare and Folly Beach are also being explored.

WE’RE HIRING FOR TUESDAY EVENING- There will be a limited opportunity for paid work by young people from the Sol Legare Community starting at 6 pm. Pay will be $10 per hour to stuff literature bags and hang doorknobs in the Sol Legare and surrounding James Island Community. Participants must be 16 years or more in age and be able to fill out a W9 form. Call (843) 870-5299 or email wjhamilton29464@gmail.com if you are interested.

Anyone wishing to help should meet on the South end of the Harris Teeter Parking lot, near the Gas station and Intersection of Sol Legare and Folly Roads between 5 and 6 pm. They should wear comfortable walking shoes, bring a bag to carry literature in and have a water bottle or other hydration. Sol Legare is a coastal island community so climbing steps will be part of the work.
