You should import the photos directly from the SD card into Lightroom and let LR put them into the folder you've designated. In the Import dialog specify the keywords that apply to most of the photos (who, what, where - when is already in the metadata), and use a standard metadata thing for your static details. When it has finished importing use the Latest Import collection, or whatever it's called, to identify the photos, then fine tune the keywords on a per-photo basis as needed. If you have time you could also quickly rank them and / or create a collection for the ones you want to come back to later. If you're reasonably clever with your keywords you can always find what you want.
