November is the perfect time to appreciate what is important to us. We appreciate you, our loyal readers. We are so thankful that we can share with you the area’s most compelling and fascinating stories and we appreciate all of you who are connected to us. The Hilton Head Island Concours d’Elegance & Motoring

Festival returns this month. We spotlight an honored collector whose cars have traveled from Peking to Paris, and a woman who has raced on seven continents as she raises awareness to combat child trafficking. We have the area’s veterans on our mind. Learn about a filmmaker who has produced 31 World War II documentaries and read about the history of the Mighty Eighth Air Force museum. We also have the holidays in mind and our annual gift guide will get you prepared. The Lowcountry is one of the leading retirement destinations.

Learn why our beautiful area has become such a treasured playground and landing spot for so many seniors. There are so many people in the Lowcountry who volunteer their time and talent. We feature those who are committed to the community and make a difference. Burnt Church Distillery was the fantastic location for our fall fashion shoot. We appreciate all who helped make the shoot a success. Steve Carb helped change the restaurant scene in the Lowcountry.

His SERG Group has become the island’s largest employer and its establishments have won numerous awards. Carb’s death deeply saddened our area. We remember him through insights from the community and his business partners.

We hope we will all have an opportunity this season to spend time with our loved ones and express our gratitude. It’s important to give thanks for what we have and to show appreciation for those we love.

From everybody at the Monthly team, Happy Thanksgiving. SASHA SWEENEY MEREDITH DIMUZIO Publishers Fashion FALL
