If you received solar eclipse glasses from us please be advised:

Our eclipse sunglass supplier has advised that their product (pictured below), which was advertised as manufactured by one of the 5 NASA approved manufacturers, cannot be confirmed. Therefore, DO NOT WEAR THEM. We apologize for this inconvenience. At this time, compliant replacements are unavailable for bulk purchase.

How to protect yourself:
To protect your eyes when viewing the sun or an eclipse, NASA and the American Astronomical Society (AAS) advises you to use APPROVED solar eclipse glasses or other solar filters from recommended manufacturers. Viewing the sun or an eclipse using any other glasses or filters could result in loss of vision or permanent blindness. For more information about safely viewing a solar eclipse please see the NASA and AAS websites.

Local News:

You may or may not know already, but South Carolina residents in the 843 area code are getting an additional new area code (854) . As the 843 area code numbers run out of new numbers, all telephone companies will begin giving out new 854 numbers. As a result of this “overlay” area code, on September 19th, everyone in our area will be required to dial the full 10 digit telephone number to make any calls. This includes calling your pizza parlor next door.

What does this mean for you?

-You may need to update your cell phone contact lists now to include area codes.

-Review and update any speed dial settings you may have programmed on your phone.

-Remember all inbound and outbound faxes will now have to include the area code.

-Even though there will be no new long distance fees, if you are in doubt, feel free to use our toll free number: 1-800-933-1805

Happy dialing out there!
