Editor's Note - January

Author: Maggie Washo

I resolve not to make any resolutions this year. That way I may actually accomplish something. Exercise more, eat less, quit smoking, save money- the list goes on. But what about making fun resolutions you are sure to keep? How about “I resolve to spend more time with my friends and family and less time at work”. (Just don’t put this one up on your corkboard at the office) Or, “This year I promise to donate money to those less fortunate than myself.” You still may not be saving as much as you should- but at least it’s going to a good cause! I suggest you adopt my personal favorite, “I vow to eat chocolate every day.” It’s good for you – really!

Seriously though, should you decide to follow through with making resolutions again this year, check out our tips for sticking to them on page 16. If losing weight is one of your goals for 2007, don’t miss George Newell’s article on page 10 for a new way to look at weight loss. Everyone at Celebrate Hilton Head has collectively resolved to shop local year round – not just during the holidays. To find out why this is so important to our community as a whole, please read “Our Friends, Our Neighbors – Our Town!”(page40).

Finally, it is my pleasure to congratulate Jimmy Leppert (page26) on winning the title of Celebrate Hilton Head’s Bachelor of 2007. Ladies, this guy is a catch! I don’t think he’ll be a “bachelor” for very long. Thanks to all of our readers and sponsors for making this such a fun contest. We’ll definitely be doing it again next year!

Happy New Year from all of us at Celebrate Hilton Head!

About Us

In September of 2006, Celebrate Hilton Head (CH2) burst onto the scene with a fresh perspective on Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and the surrounding Low Country. At the helm was a team of young women (all under 30!) with no experience whatsoever in the publishing industry. The first year they made up the rules as they went along. CH2 (and CB2 – Celebrate Bluffton and Beyond), now entering their third year , has evolved into a well-respected publication with over 150 advertisers and a distribution to over 47,000 locals and visitors each month.

Content ranges from Interesting Islander profiles and arts and entertainment pieces to food and wine topics and Hilton Head and Bluffton Business Profiles. CH2’s Bachelor of the Year Contest has blossomed into a greatly anticipated media event every year with viral marketing (i.e., Facebook, MySpace) contributing to the annual readership of those issues pertaining to the contest and over 700 people attending the Bachelor of the Year party held every October held at a local Hilton Head or Bluffton entertainment spot.

CH2 strives to give back to the community in which they have been so successful by sponsoring charitable events in both Hilton Head Island and Bluffton (Bluffton’s MayFest, put on by the Bluffton Rotary), donating editorial space to worthy organizations (Bold Strokes, Volunteers in Medicine, March of Dimes), and making the Hilton Head Island Rec Center the recipient of monies raised in conjunction with the Bachelor of the Year Contest.
