Choose Charleston

Davidson won the Southern Conference Basketball Tournament for the third year straight.  College of Charleston beat The Citadel in the first round but ran out of steam against Elon in the semifinals of the 2008 Southern Conference Basketball Tournament. I attended all the games from Saturday until the finals on Monday night. I could have scripted how this tournament would end (Davidson 2008 Champs) but to the credit of Elon- good try! Davidson must be able to the Charleston as they are headed to the big dance once again! I hope some of my readers were able to come out to this great even in North Charleston!

The Southern Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament will be in Charleston this weekend.   March 7th will be the first day of games and two local colleges, College of Charleston and The Citadel will battle that evening.  I think the game should be roughly around 7:30 but it depends on the games ahead of them. (Overtimes!?)  Either way, the Southern Conference Tournament offers a great opportunity to watch some high quality hoops!  Davidson has won the tournament the past two years, beating out our own College of Charleston Cougars  in the finals last year by the score of 72-65.  If you would like more details, visit SoConSports.com.  What are you waiting on sports fan?  March Madness is coming to Charleston.

A great event for a great cause will be going on March 8th, The 2nd Annual Sailing For The Future Benefit Regatta.  This gives opportunity to our Charleston youth to get involved in a great local event.  The harbor start will be at 1:00 pm but feel free to come early and get to know some of the local Charleston sailors!  The race will be followed by a reception that features a cash bar and light food and then awards.  Registration fee is $100 and will need to be completed by March 7th.  What a great event this will be!  Come out and show support everyone!

The importance of going green should be mentioned as often as possible.  I always enjoy sharing other local blogs with my readers so let me tell you about a blog I found recently, GoGreenCharleston.org.  GoGreenCharleston.org is a site dedicated to sharing the importance and benefits of going green within your community.  After all, if the efforts do not start local, where will they begin? Charleston is a beautiful place, I think we should all do everything in our power to preserve the beauty of Charleston, SC.  Please, do not put this off, visit GoGreenCharleston.org for valuable tips and quality discussion of green living within Charleston. 

This may not be about your quality of life, but it may be the future generations of your family. 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!
