Bobby and Mary Price Kapp On May 26, the South Carolina Episcopal Home at Still Hopes held a fundraiser for the Guignard Society, an organization dedicated to residents’ assistance. More than 150 seats at dinner were taken by ticket holders who paid $80 to attend. Cocktails on the front porch of the Guignard Mansion preceded the sit-down dinner and entertainment in the main dining room. John Gabriel Guignard of Charleston surveyed the original streets of the City of Columbia in 1786, laying out four square miles with 20 blocks in each direction. Guignard’s direct descendents donated the Guignard Mansion, called Still Hopes, and its surrounding acres as the site of the South Carolina Episcopal Home.
