Rockelle Henderson is both a bookworm and business woman. Two years ago, she channeled these qualities to create the Bluffton Book Festival, now a popular annual event. A Lowcountry resident since 2006, Henderson drew on experience gained during her 20-year career in New York City’s publishing industry and called on professional contacts honed during her stints at Random House, Penguin, HarperCollins and Disney/Hyperion. Her three-day literary festival in Old Town Bluffton brings together local and national literary talent to raise awareness and funds for two charities—The Literacy Center of Bluffton and the Book Industry Charitable Foundation. This year’s festival dates are Nov. 15-17, and more than 50 well-known writers and local authors will participate to promote their work, meet fans and participate in workshops. From the festival’s Pat Conroy-inspired lecture series to the VIP evening event “Books, Bourbon and Brew,” the Bluffton Book Festival offers something fun for everyone who loves to read.

THE PALMETTOS OF BLUFFTON
The many stages of life call for a care solution that adapts to the ever-changing needs of the patient. It’s an evolving approach that National HealthCare calls “continuum of care.” By developing a comprehensive knowledge of each patient and his or her needs, NHC Bluffton and The Palmettos are able to provide uninterrupted care at every stage. From rehabilitative care and assisted living to long-term care and hospice, their devoted staff ensures each patient is getting exactly the care they need. While receiving person-centered care, they are able to live as independently as possible in a beautiful, secure and caring environment. In addition, the Memory Care center gives family peace of mind that their loved one is in a safe environment that focuses on their health, both physical and emotional. It’s a commitment to care that you’ll only find at The Palmettos and NHC Bluffton.

A New Jersey native and former Montessori teacher, Meredith DiMuzio seems an unlikely champion for local business. However, if you run a store, restaurant or other small operation, chances are, she’s dropped in personally to hear about your needs. That’s because in the last year, she has excelled as the Executive Director of Shop More Local, representing more than 450 local businesses. Though she grew up in the garden state, she’s called the Lowcountry home for fifteen years. A mother of three, she personally knows many of the business owners she supports—they are fellow parents, neighbors, friends. On a Thursday, you may find Meredith with her kids at the Bluffton Farmers Market browsing its bounty of local goods. Don’t hesitate to say hi.
