Many customers of ABetterStay.com have asked how they can help support the Alabama Gulf Coast during these difficult times?
There are three simple answers:
1) If you can, please come for a visit! What better way to show your support than to "vote with your feet" and come vist this beautiful coastline. While there is certainly some inconvenience due to the BP oil spill, there is still plenty to do. There is no swimming in the Gulf, but the beaches are open. Most resorts have lazy rivers or pools. There is also great access to the fresh water of nearby Lake Shelby. In addition, there are several great events taking place. There will be fireworks on the beach on the evening of Sunday, July 4th. Also, there are concerts, including the newly rescheduled Jimmy Buffet show on July 11th and country music star Montgomery Gentry. See more at this calendar.
2) If you would like to help, please consider giving money. There are a number of great charities out there, all of whom are doing good work. Some of our staff favorites:
3) Alternatively, if you want to show your support , consider buying a t-shirt. Wear it proudly wherever you live and let others know that you support Alabama's Gulf Coast!
Whichever option you choose, please keep the hard working people of the Gulf Coast in your thoughts and prayers.
