Serving Military-Connected Kids: How MCEC Makes School Transitions Easier
In honor of the Month of the Military Child, we have Karli Sabecky, Implementation Coordinator, and Sarah Schackelton, Community Coordinator along with host Brian Cleary discussing what the Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC) does to support the education of military-connected students. We understand that military families often have to relocate frequently, and this can have a significant impact on their children's education. That's why MCEC has developed a comprehensive support system to help military-connected students adjust to their new schools and communities. From academic support to social and emotional well-being, we have resources in place to ensure that these students have a smooth transition and continue to thrive in their education. MCEC also works not only with the schools but also with local businesses that want to support the program. Karli and Sarah dive more deeply into the way MCEC works to help make the transition of new students of military families get connected and integrated into their new school. Karli and Sarah also share some personal tips for making school transitions smoother for military families.

Make-A-Wish SC: Fulfilling Dreams for Critically Sick Children (with Mom's Story!)
Shannon Rice is the Coastal Regions Development Officer at Make-A-Wish South Carolina and she joins Hart Peary a Make-A-Wish Mom along with host Erin Kienzle they talk about what Make-A-Wish South Carolina does, and their fundraising and their life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Make sure to listen in through to the end to find out how Hart and her family chose to move to Charleston from Massachusetts. Mom Hart Peary opens up talking about Charlie, her former Make-a-Wish child. As a 9-year-old his wish was "Charlie-Palooza", a Celebration of Friendship. For one day Make-a-Wish threw the biggest party they've ever thrown. His friends, classmates, and family from around the country flew in, his doctors, nurse, and his entire school, and they joined him for a day to leave the hospital and have fun with face painting, arcades, candy rooms, fire trucks, police escorts and as Hart put it, it was just "ridiculously fun". Hart accepted a Wish Society Nomination into Women Inspiring Strength & Hope (WISH), which is a group of 11 ladies in South Carolina to inspire, strengthen, and give hope to this community. These women give back to this wonderful organization and they commit to raising at least $7,500 each. Explaining her participation in Women Inspiring Strength & Hope to raise funds to pay for children's wishes, she said every dollar counts because some wishes, like Charlie's, cost much more than South Carolina's average of $7,500 to make those wishes happen. Shannon says with this current group of women including Hart she's watched them form relationships and become friends while they're busy with church, family, and business and as they support one another toward raising the funds to grant as many wishes as possible. You can also help by becoming a Make-a-Wish volunteer. Shannon explained the different ways to help the organization and referred people to and go to Events to find out where and when to donate, or you can go to Ways to Help Us to find out how to help make more wishes come true.

Brad Moranz on the Charleston Christmas Special and the Fun of Making It
As the holiday season approaches, our thoughts naturally turn towards Thanksgiving and Christmas. For over 25 years, Brad Moranz and his wife Jennifer have been delighting audiences with the Charleston Christmas Special. This year, the show will run for 10 days, from December 14th through the 23rd. In a recent conversation with host Brian Cleary, Brad Moranz, co-creator of the Charleston Christmas Special, shared insights about the planning and execution of this beloved Christmas show. Moranz revealed that he and Jennifer are always on the lookout for fresh content, such as new Christmas songs or unique renditions of classics. However, he believes that a Christmas show composed entirely of new songs wouldn’t resonate with audiences, as people tend to prefer the familiar tunes of the season. That being said, the Charleston Christmas Special isn’t without its surprises each year. One of the key elements they focus on is assembling a talented cast of singers, dancers, and performers for the show. Listen to the whole podcast for all of the great details and don't forget to head on over to head on over to for tickets.

Layla Luna, Founder/CEO Just Bee. Just Bee ... Aware. Thoughtful. Caring.
Layla Luna talks with host Brian Cleary about Just Bee, which is a nonprofit dedicated to the millions of families with children or young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and neurodiversity. Just Bee's mission is to train businesses to become more sensory-friendly and welcoming for this untapped market. She says that autism can look to others like bad parenting or unbehaved children because autism has no outward look. For those with Autism, they may look like everyone else on the outside but inside they may be feeling overwhelmed or anxiety-ridden because of some external sensation, like a radio playing in the background, that seems fine to others, but for some with autism, the sound might be very loud and cause a sensory overload or anxiety. Listen as Layla tells Brian about the different aspects of autism and neurodiversity which may appear in a wide range of ways, how it may affect people with these conditions, different ways it might appear, and how you can help. Listen through this episode and also hear about Mount Pleasant being named as the first certified Autism-friendly Town. For more information visit .

Why Vote Clay Duffie for Mount Pleasant Waterworks Commissioner on Nov 7?
Answering the question why should you Vote Clay Duffie for Mount Pleasant Waterworks Commissioner on Nov 7, Clay Duffie speaks with host Brian Cleary about his candidacy for the only open seat on the Mount Pleasant Public Waterworks Commission. Duffie was the General Manager of Mount Pleasant Public Waterworks for 32 years, so he knows about water, the commission, our community and our customers. Duffie retired a couple of years ago from daily operations but feels like his knowledge and experience in networking is a good opportunity to give back to the community. He says the State Water Plan is the future of the state's water resources for the next 50 years and Duffie wants to pick up from his role as an Advisory Member for the past two-and-a-half years and he'd like to see it through to the end to adoption. He says a sustainable and long-term source of water is obviously very important, as is keeping the cost of that water at an affordable cost.
