Increasingly these days retirees, newly married couples, and even young families with children are choosing to live in Hilton Head Gated Communities. Today, gated communities like Callawassie Island can sometimes center around a specific demographic, such as golf enthusiasts or retirees. The amenities and other luxuries of Hilton Head Gated Communities give these properties their appeal. Many families feel a sense of community when living in a gated neighborhood as opposed to other non-gated housing developments.

One thing is for certain though, Hilton Head Gated Communities always offer a multitude of activities and events going on locally. Here are just a few taking place in the area now.

Time Stands Still, a theatre production, will take place from 8-10 p.m. on  October 26, 2011 at South Carolina Repertory Company. Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Donald Margulies gives us the Tony Nominated play, Time Stands Still. A moving portrait about James and Sarah, a journalist and photographer, coping with changes in life and their relationship following the trauma of covering the Iraq war. When injuries force them to return home to New York, the longtime couple still deeply committed to one another, confront the prospect of a more conventional life.

If you’re considering relocating to one of the many Hilton Head golf course communities, you should sign up for a three-day Discovery Tour of nearby Callawassie Island. The tour includes golf, dining, and other island pleasures, or take a day tour if you’re in the area. With 27 holes of Fazio golf, pre-arranging your own tee time is easy, and on many afternoons, you can come out, check with the Pro Shop, and play. Callawassie Island offers casual “show-up golf” for golf groups of all abilities almost every day of the week. Just inform the Pro Shop and show up at the allotted tee time.

The Callawassie Island Course is rated among the top courses in South Carolina and offers challenges for every skill level. Three distinct courses provide variety and assure availability throughout the year. Each of the nines holes has its own character and degree of difficulty. Five different sets of tees make the courses enjoyable to golfers of all skill levels.

•    The Palmetto course requires precision, with water hazards on eight of the nine holes.
•    Magnolia challenges all aspects of your game, but rewards you at the end with two of the most spectacular holes you will ever play.
•    Dogwood lets you experience Lowcountry golf at its finest, with the four closing holes along the salt marsh.

I predict, while you’re out looking at Hilton Head golf course communities, you’ll come to Callawassie Island to humor me, and then you’ll fall in love with the place. I know I did.

Many people wonder what Sleep Apnea is and if they have it. They ask questions like — Is it life threatening? Will I die? What can be done about it? Is it contagious? Well, people are actually losing sleep over these questions and sometimes it really isn’t Sleep Apnea. While it can be life threatening it isn’t exactly contagious — although your restlessness could keep your partner awake all night! Many people that have restless sleep, insomnia, or are tired the next day, often think it could be Sleep Apnea. If you think it’s what you are suffering from then it’s imperative that you get it checked out and have a sleep study done.

In an attempt to briefly describe it, here is the short answer:

1. Sleep Apnea is a breathing disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. There are two types — Central Sleep Apnea and Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

2. A sleep study can be done either in a sleep lab or at your home to determine which, if either, you might have.

3. Depending upon which sleep apnea you have — Central Sleep Apnea or Obstructive Sleep Apnea — a treatment plan can be developed for you and you are sure to benefit from it.
