Welcome to our June issue where we congratulate our featured graduates and also pause to honor the fathers, grandfathers, and father figures in the community who encourage, guide, and support their families. Happy Father’s Day!

Inside this issue, we take a behind-the-scenes look at Therapet, meet precious pet Zoey, and spotlight Blake McMillin of the Mighty Sparkles. We are also excited to introduce William Birkman’s incredible 3D printing talents in the premiere of our new page, The Creative Thread. In this month’s Partner Spotlight, we highlight Triple R Construction, (formerly James Ru Can Paint and Finish). Be sure to check out graduate Aubrey Felton’s favorite cookie recipe which is perfect for summer gatherings

We’re also proud to share an opportunity to support the Susan G. Komen Foundation through a fundraiser sponsored by Azalea Catering.
