shoppers will visit the site to find local restaurants, clothing, specials,

promote your local merchants, and everyone will benefit!
Top Ten reasons to Think Local in Carolina Forest

Buy Local - Be Local
Help Carolina Forest Businesses
1. Buy Local -- Support yourself and the Carolina Forest

Community. Many studies have revealed when you buy from an
independent, locally owned business in the Carolina Forest area, rather
than a nationally owned businesses, considerably more of your money
is used to make purchases from other local businesses. Carolina Forest
businesses continue to strengthen the economic base of the Carolina
Forest community. These include case studies showing that Carolina
Forest owned businesses generate a premium in enhanced economic
impact to the community and our tax base.
2.Support Carolina Forest Area Community Groups:

Non-profit organizations receive an average 250% more support from
smaller Carolina Forest area business owners than they do from large
companies.
3. Keep the Carolina Forest Area Unique: Where we

shop, where we eat and have fun -- all of it makes our Carolina Forest
community home. Our one-of-a-kind Carolina Forest businesses are an
integral part of the distinctive character of the Grand Strand. Tourism
businesses also benefit. “When people go on vacation they generally
seek out destinations that offer them the sense of being someplace, not
just anyplace.” ~ Richard Moe, President, National Historic Preservation
Trust.
4. Reduce Environmental Impact: Locally owned businesses

in Carolina Forest Area can make more local purchases requiring less
transportation. This generally means contributing less to sprawl,
congestion, habitat loss and pollution.
5. Create Additional Jobs: Small local businesses are the

largest employer nationally and in Carolina Forest area community,
provide the most jobs to local residents

Charleston’s Office Of Cultural Affairs
launches www.CharlestonArts.sc, as thier
new arts Web Site
From: Charleston Currents
The City of Charleston’s Office of Cultural Affairs has launched http://www.CharlestonArts.sc, a companion
Web site to the OCA’s primary page at the city’s official site.
CharlestonArts.sc will be updated daily with information and features, including an arts calendar that users
can search by date, artist, presenting group or venue; social networking widgets; and a directory of local arts
and cultural organizations and venues.
“We are hopeful that CharlestonArts.sc will be a major benefit to local artists and arts organizations by
disseminating information about their events with the most up-to-date information to a broader public,” said
Ellen Dressler Moryl, director of the Office of Cultural Affairs.
Other options for users at CharlestonArts.sc include the following:
• Arts organizations can download forms from the Office of Cultural Affairs, submit events, update contact
information and compare performance dates with other area organizations.
• The Tools for Professional section of the Web site features job listings for arts professionals, including full
time and part time work as well as internships and volunteer opportunities with arts and cultural
organizations in the tri-county area.
• Updated grant opportunities for arts organizations, with detailed information, including deadlines,
application and contact information.
• Call for Submissions and Call for Auditions pages with details about the location, deadlines, fees and
additional requirements.
The new Web site also hosts connecting pages for general information on the Office of Cultural Affairs and
its projects: the Charleston Farmers Market, the City Gallery at Waterfront Park, Holiday Magic, Happy New
Year Charleston!, the Holiday Parade of Boats, the Lowcountry Quarterly Arts Grant Program, Piccolo Spo-
leto and the MOJA Arts Festival.
The Web Site was developed and is being hosted by Carolina Media Services ( www.ONLY.sc) .

Neighborhoods
1. Neighborhoods are where we all grew up a long time ago.
Today, because of golf courses, shopping areas, subdivi-
sions, jobs, schools, and a transient society, a neighborhood
means different things to
different folks.
2. Neighborhoods can be as small as a dozen or so houses,

and be as many as thousands of homes.
3. Neighborhoods are common, and perhaps close to uni-

versal, since most people in urbanized areas would probably
consider themselves to be living in one.
4. Neighborhoods are convenient, and always accessible,

since you are already in your neighborhood when you walk
out your door.
5. Successful neighborhood action frequently requires little

specialized technical skill, and often little or no money. Action
may call for an investment of time, but material costs are
often low.
6. With neighborhood action, compared to activity on larger

scales, results are more likely to be visible and quickly forth-
coming. The streets are generally cleaner; the crosswalks
are painted; the trees are planted; a festival draws a crowd.
7. Visible and swift results are indicators of success; and

since success is reinforcing, the probability of subsequent
neighborhood action is increased.
8. Because neighborhood action usually involves others,

such actions create or strengthen connections and relation-
ships with other neighbors, leading in turn to a variety of
potentially positive effects, often hard to predict.
9. Over and above these community advantages, neighbor-

hood activity may simply be enjoyable and fun for those
taking part.
But in addition to these benefits, considerable research indi-

cates that strong and cohesive neighborhoods and communi-
ties are linked –quite possibly causally linked – to decreases
in crime, better outcomes for children, and improved physical
and mental health. The social support that a strong neigh-
borhood may provide can serve as a buffer against various
forms of adversity. Sometimes a neighborhood isn’t a neigh-
borhood until an event occurs, which draws people together,
to become “neighbors”.
