June is when we truly realize just how good we’ve got it in the Lowcountry — we get the chance to enjoy our wonderful weather, beautiful beaches and fun summer events.

This is a wonderful time to be outside and enjoy each other’s company.

In this issue we highlight a group of men who are committed to making a difference. Learn about 100 Men Who Care of Hilton Head Island, which in a brief time has raised funds for nonprofits and many Lowcountry organizations. It’s an inspirational story of the dedication to make an impact.

Kids love the summer, and we are excited to put the spotlight on some of the area’s most talented youngsters.

Read about four kids who display their skills in a variety of ways. From welding to the theater and the business world, these kids continue to impress.

Fabio Frey’s dream of becoming a film director has come to fruition. A product of the Lowcountry, Frey has used his creative energy to spur on a blossoming career. Learn about his latest project which has garnered a few film festival awards.

Shoreline Commercial’s footprints are found throughout the Lowcountry. Read how this commercial builder has grown to become the source for highprofile builds in our communities.

Check our Father’s Day Gift Guide for that perfect gift for dad, and be sure to see our picks for some of the top summer events.

June is also a busy month for the Lowcountry’s wedding venues and professionals. We invite you to savor the details of a fabulous local wedding, learn tips on hosting an eco-friendly wedding and read about the best ways to make your wedding a little less stressful for your guests.

We hope you keep Monthly on hand as you enjoy a summer of fun.

Thank you for inviting us into your lives.
