PUBLISHER’S NOTE

South Brunswick Magazine Publisher Justin Williams and his daughter, Ava.

Welcome, Fall.

IIt’s hard to believe the fall season is already here. The older I get the faster the months go by, and this summer certainly was no exception.

Lately I have been splitting my time between North Carolina and Florida to help out with my mother, who has been ill. This has been a challenging time for my family, but it’s times like these that give you a minute to step back and appreciate what you have. I am so appreciative of my daughter, Ava, for being the wonderful person she is, and I am so grateful for my staff for stepping up in my absence and keeping our magazines rolling. Without their support and hard work, I don’t know if you’d be holding this magazine in your hands today. I hope you enjoy the stories we have lined up for you in this fall issue of South Brunswick Magazine. This issue is full of stories of fascinating people, like volunteer extraordinaire Ann Hollingsworth and Anna Katherine Faulk, who built a most unique nonprofit to benefit firefighters and victims of fires. We meet Shaneequa Vereen, who made a path from Brunswick County to NASA, where she commentates live space missions. We also introduce you to some of the people behind our local businesses, from 50-year-old businesses like Shallotte Electric to brand-new businesses like Waterway Music and Education and several in between.

Enjoy the fall season in Brunswick County. This is such a beautiful time of year, and I hope you can all find some time to really enjoy it. Take some time to savor the beauty around you and be sure to tell those you love how much you appreciate them.

As always, we appreciate your support!
