Happy Monday! Mount Pleasant Scoop will be running polls for the foreseeable future. We want to give you the people what you want most from the newsletter. There is a poll in today’s newsletter under Opinion Poll. Please vote!
The Annual Blessing of the Fleet & Seafood Festival is one of the most highly anticipated events of the year! The festival pays tribute to Mount Pleasant’s local shrimping and fishing industry, offering a boat parade, live music, a craft show, and lots of free activities with the picturesque Ravenel Bridge and Charleston Harbor for a backdrop. Support local and wild-caught to support your fishermen…nothing beats Wild American Shrimp! Sunday, April 27th 11am - 5pm @ Waterfront Memorial Pak.

Heirloom creates working opportunities for the autistic.
April is Autism Awareness Month, and Geoff Weber, founder of Heirloom Cloud Corporation and father of a young man with ASD, is passionate about shifting public understanding and urging other employers to take action.
While Autism Spectrum Disorder presents distinct challenges for those affected — a Mount Pleasant employer sees ASD as his business’ greatest advantage, and is making a substantial difference in lessening the 80 percent unemployment rate for adults with autism.
