Personally, it has been a very rewarding year for my family with many wonderful events taking place. I truly look forward to what 2019 has in store. 2019 marks our 19th year of publishing South Shore Magazine! Thank you to all who have contributed in writing, editing, photography and graphic design. A big shout out goes to Christine Orr, our Art Director and Graphic designer, who has made South Shore Magazine look spectacular issue after issue for the past 10 years. Most importantly, thank you to all of our clients for their many years of business and support. Our winter issue is also our Star of Excellence Award issue. We have been awarding our Star of Excellence to businesses in the region that we feel exemplify outstanding and superior quality in their service and goods that they provide 365 days per year. Our front cover and main feature article is Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital's Plymouth Campus. BID - Plymouth has been doing some magnificent work and has been recognized by several prestigious groups for its excellence in providing healthcare. This issue includes an article on a wonderful organization: The ARC of the South Shore, which services the special needs community with locations in Weymouth and Hingham. The care and programming provided by their staff and volunteers are an integral part of the South Shore's special needs community, and we are pleased to have them in this issue. Please consider giving a financial donation or your time to The ARC and other South Shore organizations that help the special needs community; your contribution goes a long way. We also have a delicious article on ALBA in Quincy Center. This landmark restaurant is a true mark of excellence and sets the bar for many other restaurants. Our friends at Pearl Dental Associates have a second article in a series that highlights their dentists and areas of expertise. If you or your family are in need of a new dentist, check out Pearl Dental Associates. They can meet ALL of your needs at one practice! Dr. Christine Hamori's office has written an article on Time-Tested Cosmetic Treatments so that you can learn more about the many leading-edge services that they provide. Dr. Hamori stays ahead of the curve, always utilizing the most up-to-date technologies in her cosmetic treatments. Glow Beauty Boutique has a great article on Dermaplaning, a new service that will get that face of yours looking its best. If you are in the Braintree area checking out Glow, or perhaps buying delectable treats at Montilio's, make sure to venture to WidowMaker Brewing. There are MANY excellent craft breweries in our area and that makes me one happy guy! In my opinion, WidowMaker is hitting the ball out of the park with ALL of their beers. My favorite is the Milk Shake IPA…OMG…DELICIOUS! Thank you to our clients and thank you, our readers, for shopping at and utilizing the businesses and organizations that provide the great products and services that you read about in South Shore Magazine. Here's to a wonderful, healthy and prosperous 2019 for you and your families. Cheers!
