          THIS IS A, THIS IS A GROUP THAT IS A COMMUNITY BASED RESPONSE, UM, TO THE NEED FOR DISASTER PREPARATION. 
          UM, OUR GOALS THROUGH THIS GROUP IS, UM, TO RESPOND IN THE IMMEDIATE NEEDS THAT ARISE IN THE RESULT OF, OF DISASTER, BUT ALSO TO PULL TOGETHER THE RESOURCES THAT ARE COMMUNITY BASED THAT CAN SUPPORT US OR SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY, UH, FOR THOSE DISASTERS THAT DO NOT QUITE REACH THE LEVEL OF, UH, FEDERAL RECOGNITION OR NAME STORMS. UH, WE MEET BIWEEKLY AND, UH, SEVERAL REPRESENTATIVES.

          AND, UM, AND OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATOR, MR. UH, TOM DUNN IS ALSO, UH, STRONGLY, UH, PRESENT AND SUPPORTIVE OF THIS GROUP. 
          UM, OUR BIWEEKLY, THE BIWEEKLY NATURE OF OUR MEETINGS, UM, IS, IS DEFINITELY, UM, IN RECOGNITION OF THE NEED TO MOBILIZE QUICKLY, SHOULD, UM, A STORM ARISE. 
          BUT, UM, BUT ALSO, YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD SIGNIFICANT RAIN EVENTS THAT HAVE CAUSED US TO, TO HAVE TO HAVE SOME LEVEL OF RESPONSE. 
          AND SO, UM, SO THIS GROUP IS THERE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE, OF THE GENERAL COMMUNITY AT LARGE. 
          UM, AND OUR NEXT MEETING IS NEXT TUESDAY. 
          UM, NEXT UP, UM, LAND MANAGEMENT, UH, ORDINANCE, FOCUS GROUP. 
          YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THAT ONE. 
          WHAT ME? I WAS ASKING NEVERMIND, WHAT YOU ASKING? I WAS ASKING, I WAS ASKING THE CHAIRMAN FOR, FOR A MOMENT TO SPEAK, BUT HE SAID NO. 
          I THOUGHT, I, I THOUGHT, I THOUGHT YOU WERE ASKING ME IF I WANTED TO SPEAK, BUT IF YOU WANNA SPEAK, THE FLOOR IS YOURS, SIR. 
          OH, THANK YOU. 
          I DON'T KNOW IF WE MADE A MISTAKE HERE, . 
          WELL, WE, WE, WE SEE HER VIRTUALLY. 
          WE MAY NEED TO CALL YOU AND COME ON IN. 
          WE'LL, I'LL COME GET YOU. 
          UM, MR. BOXLEY, UM, I APPRECIATE THIS GROUP. 
          UM, MY MIND'S RUNNING TO, UM, BUT WE HAD TO EVACUATE FOR MATTHEW AND, UM, IT WAS A GOOD DEAL OF FOLKS THAT DID NOT EVACUATE. 
          TRANSPORTATION AND SHELTER WERE THE MAIN REASONS AS TO WHY THEY DID NOT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, 
          [00:05:01]
TYPICALLY THESE STORMS COME UNEXPECTEDLY. 
          FOLKS DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE THE MEANS TO HOTEL THEMSELVES FOR A WEEK OR SO, OR THE TRANSPORTATION TO GET THERE. 
          UH, REMEMBER VERY DISTINCTLY FOLKS CALLING ME WHO WERE STILL ON THE ISLAND AND IN NEED OF THINGS, OKAY. 
          BEFORE WE ALL GOT BACK HERE. 
          UM, SO I'M JUST BRINGING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION AS Y'ALL HAVING THESE DISCUSSIONS. 
          HOPEFULLY, THERE'S THE TOPIC OF ASSISTING FOLKS TO EVACUATE FROM HEALTH AND HANDLE. 
          YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE HERE DURING ONE OF THESE EVENTS. 
          UM, I'VE GOTTEN VERY GRAPHIC STORIES FROM SOME THAT DID STAY, WHO SAID THEY WILL NEVER STAY AGAIN. 
          UM, SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION AS YOU'RE HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS. 
          THANK YOU FOR THAT, UH, COUNCILMAN. 
          AND THAT IS DEFINITELY, UH, PART OF THE CONVERSATION THAT WE ARE HAVING. 
          UM, A A ABOUT AS A STORM OF, OF MAGNITUDE, UM, THAT WOULD REQUIRE EVACUATION, MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE EFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATING THAT MESSAGE. 
          AND, UM, AND ALSO LOOKING AT WAYS THAT WE CAN WORK TO PROVIDE, UM, TRANSPORTATION. 
          I KNOW THAT, UH, PALMETTO BREEZE IS ONE OF THE FIRST LINES OF EVACUATION, BUT THERE ARE ALSO MEMBERS OF THIS GROUP, UM, SOME OF THE FACE FAITH-BASED COMMUNITY THAT HAVE TRANSPORTATION MEANS TO TRANSPORT SOME OF THEIR MEMBERSHIP FIRST AND THEN MOVE INTO TRANSITIONING TO TRANSPORTATION FOR THOSE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT MAY NOT HAVE A WAY TO EVACUATE. 
          BUT YES, MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING THE PROTOCOLS AS DELIVERED BY OUR EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, UH, TEAM, WHO IS VERY WELL REPRESENTED ON THAT GROUP AS WELL. 
          I, I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AS YOU MEET IN YOUR PLAN, IS, IS ONE OF THE MISSIVES TO HAVE A MEETING CALLED THE, THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER FOR, FOR PREPARATION SO THAT THEY CAN, IN, IN ANTICIPATION OF SOMETHING THAT IT'S NOT YET HERE. 
          THESE ARE THE ITEMS THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE ON HAND, UH, IN ORDER THAT YOU MIGHT BE READY IN THE EVENT OF A, OF A, OF A, AN IMPENDING STORM. 
          YES. 
          THOSE ARE SOME OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE ARE HAVING, YOU KNOW, SOME GENERAL, UH, PREPAREDNESS TYPES OF, OF AWARENESS. 
          UH, COMMUNICATIONS ARE DEFINITELY PART OF THE PROTOCOLS THAT WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS. 
          MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE A QUESTION, THOMAS. 
          IS THERE ANY WAY TO ESTIMATE THE NU OR ALEX THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO MIGHT REQUIRE THIS SERVICE IN ADVANCE SO THAT WE HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO DELIVER IT? UM, I, ABOUT, THE ONLY WAY THAT WE'D BE ABLE TO ESTIMATE THAT IS LOOKING AT POPULATION DEMOGRAPHICS, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, PART OF WHAT WE ARE ALSO PROVIDING THROUGH OUR, UH, CONNECTIONS WITH, UH, THE, WITH THE CHAMBER AS WELL AS WITH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT, IS AS WE MOVE AND MIGRATE THROUGH, UM, HURRICANE SEASON, SOME OF IT OVERLAPS WITH TOURISM SEASON AS WELL. 
          SO IT IS KIND OF DIFFICULT TO REALLY, REALLY GAUGE THE EXACT NUMBER OF FOLKS. 
          WE COULD DEFINITELY LOOK AT POPULATION DEMOGRAPHICS OF THOSE THAT LIVE ON THE ISLAND, BUT WE ALSO DO HAVE SOME DATA THAT WE RECEIVE RELATED TO, UH, HO HOTEL EXPECTED OCCUPANCY ON ANY GIVEN WEEK. 
          SO, SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH SOME OF THOSE PARTICULAR DETAILS. 
          SHORT ANSWER IS YES, WE, WE CAN GET TO A PLACE, BUT IT'S, IT'S, IT'S NOT AN EXACT SCIENCE. 
          YEAH. 
          I, I UNDERSTAND THAT. 
          UM, BUT THE PASTOR'S COMMENT TRIGGERED MY THOUGHT, AND THAT IS, MIGHT THE, MIGHT THE CHURCHES HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY OR A COMMUNITY MEETING HAVE AN INDIC INDICATOR OF, UH, NUMBER OF PEOPLE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM BOARD? UM, JUST A THOUGHT, A FOLLOW UP THOUGHT ON MR. AINS. 
          UH, QUESTION, YOU KNOW, MAYBE, UM, NOT JUST THE CHURCHES, BUT THE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE INVOLVED AS THEY ARE, UH, FULFILLING REQUESTS FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS. 
          UM, MAYBE THAT'S A QUESTION THAT WE CAN START TO ASK MOVING FORWARD. 
          YOU KNOW, SOMEONE APPROACHES DEEP WELL FOR SOME ASSISTANCE. 
          ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THEY CAN ASK IS, IN THE EVENT OF A NAME, STORM AND EVACUATION, DO YOU HAVE ADEQUATE TRANSPORTATION TO EVACUATE? AND SO ON. 
          SO THAT'S JUST A THOUGHT THAT CAME TO MIND. 
          OKAY. 
          WHAT'S TAKEN NEXT UP? UM, THE LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE FOCUS GROUP. 
          WE HAVE A SMALL GROUP OF, OF CITIZENS THAT WE HAVE. 
          UM, WE BEING THE CDC, UM, MS. STEWART AND I HAVE BEEN, UM, CONVENING WITH A GOAL OF BEGINNING TO ADDRESS, TAKE A LOOK AT AND ADDRESS SOME OF THE, THE NEEDS OF THE HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS AS PERTAINS TO, UM, THE LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE, THE LAND MANAGEMENT, UH, ORDINANCE UPDATE, 
          [00:10:01]
AND, UM, JUST TAKING A LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE, THOSE PARTICULAR ITEMS IN REGARDS TO DEVELOPMENT IN REGARDS TO DENSITY THAT WOULD IMPACT THE HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          AND SO, UM, THAT PARTICULAR GROUP IS ONE THAT WE WILL HOST ON A MONTHLY BASIS AND, UM, AND REALLY BEGIN TO GET SOME, SOME GRASSROOTS FEEDBACK. 
          UM, OUR NEXT, UM, ITEM IS, UM, THE HOME SAFETY AND REPAIR PROGRAM, AS YOU KNOW, THAT WAS FUNDED THROUGH THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND, UH, REINVESTMENT PLAN ACT, UH, FUNDS FOR WHICH HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY DISTRIBUTED. 
          AND, UM, WE ARE ALSO, WE'RE WORKING, UM, WITH OUR GRANTS DEPARTMENT TO TRY TO IDENTIFY SOME FUNDS MOVING FORWARD. 
          UH, WE HAVE NOT QUITE IDENTIFIED THAT SOURCE OF FUNDING YET, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR GRANTS AND, UH, PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT TO IDENTIFY, UM, WE MOVE OFF THAT ONE. 
          UM, OKAY, MR. BOXLEY. 
          SO, UH, SOMETIMES THINGS DON'T COME TO ME UNTIL LATER. 
           MM-HMM . 
          UM, BUT WE HAD, UM, PRESENTATION LAST NIGHT, UM, TO MOVE OUR, UM, OUR HUD, UM, PLAN FORWARD. 
          AND THAT ORIGINALLY HAD COME THROUGH THE FINANCE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE, AND THERE WERE QUESTIONS ABOUT HUD FUNDS BEING USED FOR, UM, SERVICES SUCH AS THE HOME SAFETY REPAIR, SANITATION, SEWER, AND SO ON. 
          AND, UM, OUR, ONE OF OUR GRANTS, UM, ADMINISTRATORS MENTIONED AT BOTH SETTINGS THAT THERE RESTRICTIONS THAT COME ALONG WITH HUD FUNDING, OBVIOUSLY. 
          UM, BUT ONE OF THE KEY ONES WAS THAT IT COULD BE USED FOR AFFORDABLE, I MEAN, FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING, RIGHT? NOT WORKFORCE HOUSING. 
          THAT'S BASED ON THE A MI, UH, THRESHOLD. 
          UM, AND, UM, I GUESS AS YOU GUYS GO THROUGH THIS, I, I KNOW POLITICALLY THERE'S A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT WHICH ONE WE WANT TO SERVE. 
          HOWEVER, IF WE LOOK AT THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE IMPOSED AS A MUNICIPALITY FOR HOME AND SAFETY, REPAIR AND SEWER, THOSE WERE THE LOWER AMIS. 
          MM-HMM . 
          OKAY. 
          SO IF WE ARE LOOKING FOR FUNDING TO STAND THIS PROGRAM UP, I WOULD NOT BE AFRAID OF THE POLITICAL PIECE OF IT, BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY SET PRECEDENT THAT THAT'S THE, THE, THE PART OF THE COMMUNITY THAT'S IN NEED OF HELP. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, THANK YOU. 
          I, I, IF I MIGHT ALSO, UM, THERE IS A BILL THAT'S GOING THROUGH THE SENATE, UM, WITH, UH, IT'S BEEN SPONSORED BY SENATOR TIM SCOTT AND ELIZABETH WARREN. 
          AND ITS FIRST READING WAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED FROM THE COMMITTEE, UM, TO GO FORWARD. 
          AND THIS IS ALL ABOUT ROAD TO HOUSE. 
          AND FOR THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE PROVIDING WORKFORCE HOUSING, THERE IS, UH, THE, IF IT GOES THROUGH ALL THE WAY RIGHT, IF IT GETS PASSED, THERE WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET FEDERAL FUNDS FOR COMMUNITIES TO BE UTILIZED IN A VARIETY OF AREAS. 
          UM, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE, UM, HOME AND SAFETY REPAIR AND, AND, UH, AND HOOKUP SEWER HOOKUP AS WELL. 
          SO I WAS ON A CALL WITH ABOUT 80 OTHER MAYORS, UH, ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO WITH SENATOR WARREN. 
          AND, UM, THIS IS GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON AND I'LL KEEP YOU ABREAST. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S, AND THOSE ARE THE TYPE OF PROGRAMS THAT WE QUITE FRANKLY, WILL NEED TO BE KEEPING OUR EYES OPEN FOR AS, UH, CDBG, WHICH IS PART OF HUD'S FUNDING. 
          UM, I THINK THAT BUDGET GOT, THAT LINE ITEM WAS ZEROED OUT BY THE ADMINISTRATION EARLIER THIS YEAR, SO, UM, SO THANK YOU FOR THAT. 
          MAY I ASK, ASK A QUESTION TO COMMENT? CERTAINLY. 
          SO ON THE HOME SAFETY AND REPAIR PROGRAM, I, I HEARD YOU SAY THAT THE FUNDS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED. 
          CORRECT. 
          UM, WOULD IT BE, AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR OTHER RESOURCES AND GRANTS, MONETARY SUPPORT, UH, WOULD YOU THINK IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD HELP IF WE PUT A FACE WITH THE CLIENTS THAT WE'VE SERVED FOR SOMEBODY TO COME BACK AND GIVE A TESTIMONIAL OR GIVE SOMETHING AS TO HOW THEY HAVE BENEFITED AND HOW, UM, THIS, THIS PROJECT HAS, HAS HELPED THEM ACCOMPLISH OR GO FROM POINT A TO POINT B THAT MIGHT INSPIRE SOME OTHERS THAT IS SITTING OUT THERE AND IT'S, IT'S, IT'S FACELESS. 
          WE'RE HELPING PEOPLE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A FACE FOR THE PEOPLE. 
          WOULD YOU, DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD BE A, A GOOD IDEA? SOMETHING THAT'S FEASIBLE? I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S, I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S FEASIBLE. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, FINDING SOMEONE THAT WOULD, UM, THAT WOULD ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE IN THAT. 
          WE CAN WORK ON THAT. 
          MM-HMM . 
          THANK YOU. 
          YOU, QUICK QUESTION, AND I MIGHT BE MISSING THIS SOMEWHERE ELSE, BUT WHAT, WHAT LEVEL OF FUNDING, UM, IS BEING LOOKED FOR FOR THAT PROGRAM? UM, LET'S SEE. 
          [00:15:01]
SO THAT PROGRAM WAS FUNDED AT, I THINK, A MILLION DOLLARS, UM, FROM THE AA, UH, FROM THE AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT PROGRAM. 
          I WOULD THINK THAT WE WOULD NEED AT LEAST THAT LEVEL OF FUNDING TO, UM, TO ADMINISTER A PROGRAM SIMILAR. 
          UM, AND WE HAD A CAP ON THE AMOUNT OF ASSISTANCE AT 15,000 PER PROJECT. 
          SO, UM, SO THAT WAS ONE WAY THAT WE WERE ABLE TO KIND OF SPREAD THAT FUNDING OUT, UM, THROUGH THE COMMUNITY AND, AND, UH, REPAIR SEVERAL DIFFERENT, UH, DIFFERENT HOMES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YOU ARE WELCOME. 
          ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT, MOVING ON. 
          EXPERIENCE GULLAH, UM, I WON'T BELABOR THIS TOO MUCH BECAUSE WE HAVE A PRESENTATION COMING UP HERE VERY, VERY QUICKLY AS SOON AS WE MOVE THROUGH THIS REPORT. 
          BUT, UH, TODAY WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE WORK THAT WE HAVE COMPLETED. 
          UM, I WOULD, I WOULD LIKE FOR EVERYONE TO PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR THURSDAY, OCTOBER THE SECOND, WHICH WE WILL, UM, AT THAT ON THAT DAY, HAVE AN OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF THE EXPERIENCE GULLAH SITE AND THE ACCOMPANYING APPLICATION. 
          AGAIN, STAY TUNED. 
          WE'LL HAVE A WHOLE PRESENTATION ON THAT HERE SHORTLY. 
          UM, ACCOUNTING SERVICES, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, UH, WITH OUR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, IT WILL REQUIRE THAT WE PROCURE THE SERVICES OF ACCOUNTING. 
          AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I AM CURRENTLY ACTIVELY LOOKING AT. 
          UM, AND PROCURING THE SERVICES OF A QUALIFIED FIRM FOR TAX FILING, AS WELL AS, UM, THE EVENTUAL AUDIT SERVICES THAT WILL BE REQUIRED. 
          MONEY TALKS FINANCIAL EDUCATION SERIES. 
          UM, IN AUGUST, THE TOPIC WAS NAVIGATING ACCESS TO CAPITAL IN A CHANGING ENVIRONMENT. 
          LAST NIGHT, WE ALSO HAD A MEETING, UM, UM, OUR SEPTEMBER TOPIC WAS THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF BUSINESS, UM, OWNERSHIP AND DEVELOPMENT. 
          WE HAVE BEEN BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, JOSEPH FRIGHT SCHOOL OF LAW, AND WE HAD A PROFESSOR, MR. BENJAMIN MEANS THERE TO PRESENT, UH, LAST EVENING ABOUT, UM, THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, AS WELL AS A PRESENTATION, A, A BRIEF PRESENTATION FROM ONE OF OUR COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS THERE, UM, A RETIRED CPA THAT WAS ALSO THERE TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP. 
          WE HAD ABOUT 12 PEOPLE IN ATTENDANCE. 
          UH, SO WE'RE STEADILY GROWING THAT PROGRAM. 
          BUT, UM, I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE BUDDING RELATIONSHIP THAT WE'RE BUILDING WITH THE SCHOOL OF LAW AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA THAT WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT SOME OF OUR SMALL BUSINESSES AS THEY LOOK TO INCORPORATE, OR EVEN LOOK TO RESTRUCTURE THEIR BUSINESSES SO THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO, UH, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF, UH, DIFFERENT TAX LAWS AND TAX CODE. 
          UM, THEY SPECIFICALLY HAVE A PROGRAM CALLED THE GROW PROGRAM, BY WHICH THEY OFFER PRO BONO LEGAL SERVICES FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT MEET SPECIFIC QUALIFICATIONS. 
          SO, UM, SO REAL EXCITED ABOUT THAT. 
          IN OUR OCTOBER, UM, OUR OCTOBER TOPIC IS, UM, WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT LENDING NON-TRADITIONAL LENDING SOURCES.

          AND I, I THINK JUST A QUICK LETTER, BECAUSE HE HAS THAT PHILANTHROPIC SIDE. 
          UM, IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TRYING TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FUNDS, IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW HOW HIS INVESTMENT INTO THE SCHOOL IS HELPING. 
          I'M JUST, OKAY.

          WE'VE MADE SOME FANTASTIC RELATIONSHIPS, UM, NOT ONLY WITH STUDENTS, UM, BUT WITH FOLKS THAT ARE, UH, THERE IN HILTON HEAD. 
          AND SO, UH, WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS I JUST WANNA KIND OF GIVE YOU A STATUS UPDATE, UM, AND THEN I'M GONNA TOSS OVER TO CLARENCE TO SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF THINGS ABOUT THE WEBSITE, AND THEN HE'S GONNA BRING IT BACK TO ME AND I'M GONNA SHOW YOU THE APP. 
          UM, AS I GET READY TO GET STARTED, UM, I DO WANT TO SHARE, UM, A WINDOW BECAUSE I'M NOT SURE IF I TRUST THE TECH FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF, UM, USING TEAMS, WHICH IS A, UH, MEETING SOFTWARE TO THEN BROADCAST THE APP AND THE TECHNOLOGY WITHIN THE APP. 
          AND SO, UM, JUST FOR A MOMENT, UM, I'M PUTTING THIS UP ON THE SCREEN, JUST SHARING IT. 
          SO THIS WOULD ALLOW ANYBODY TO DOWNLOAD THE APP, UM, INTO, YOU KNOW, INTO THEIR DEVICE, UH, EVEN WHILE WE'RE DOING THIS PRESENTATION IN CASE THE OTHER TECHNOLOGY FAILS. 
          SO ONE OF THE BIG THINGS, UM, THAT WE ALWAYS WANNA, UH, WE PUSH UP AGAINST IS MAKING SURE THAT THE APP GETS INTO THE STORE PRIOR TO LAUNCH. 
          AND, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN NEVER CONTROL APPLE. 
          YOU CAN NEVER CONTROL GOOGLE ON THEIR APPROVAL PROCESS. 
          AND SO, UM, WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE, UH, SURVIVED THAT HURDLE AND WE HAVE THE APP IN THE STORE. 
          UM, AS I MENTIONED, WHEN WE FIRST MET, THE DESIGN OF THIS APP WAS GONNA BE IN SUCH A 
          [00:25:01]
WAY THAT, THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO MULTIPLE APP SUBMISSIONS. 
          WHAT WE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO DO IS BE ABLE TO CONTROL EVERYTHING DYNAMICALLY SO THAT WE COULD GET, UH, THE TECHNOLOGY INTO THE STORES AND THEN GIVE US THE ABILITY TO DO REAL TIME EDITS. 
          MEANING THAT ANY PIECE OF TECH THAT YOU SEE, UM, WHETHER IT'S IN THE WEBSITE, WHICH MOST PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HOW THOSE EDIT WORK REALLY QUICKLY FROM A BACKEND SYSTEM OR IT'S IN THE APP, UH, WHETHER IT'S THE AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCES, THE TEXT, THE GRAPHICS, THE AUDIO VIDEO, EVERYTHING IN THERE CAN LITERALLY BE CHANGED, UH, IN A MATTER OF SECONDS BECAUSE WE HAVE BUILT OUT A BACKEND PLATFORM THAT SIMPLY MANAGES IT, UM, COPY PASTE, UM, FOR URLS OR FOR TEXT, OR FOR, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN HIGHLIGHT AND DO BOLD AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          SO, UM, WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU HAD AN OPPORTUNITY, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE APP, YOU CAN GET THAT. 
          SO AS WE GET READY TO, UM, MOVE FORWARD, WE WILL BE, UM, IN GOOD SHAPE IN CASE THERE'S ANY DELAYS THERE. 
          SO, COUPLE QUICK UPDATES. 
          THE, THE STRUCTURE AND THE DESIGN, UM, ARE FOR EVERYTHING IS COMPLETELY 100% BUILT. 
          SO, AS I JUST MENTIONED, IT DOESN'T MATTER, UM, WHAT CHANGES ANYONE MAY NEED AT ANY GIVEN POINT IN TIME. 
          IT IS LITERALLY JUST A MATTER OF, WE DON'T, WE DON'T LIKE THIS TEXT, WE WANNA PUT THIS TEXT IN, OR WE DON'T LIKE THIS, THESE GRAPHICS, AND WE CAN SWAP THOSE, THOSE THINGS OUT. 
          WE ARE WAITING, UH, SOME APPROVALS FOR JUST, UM, SOME PARTICULAR CONTENT AND SOME MEDIA RIGHTS. 
          UM, I'LL, I'LL UNPACK THAT A LITTLE BIT LATER AS YOU SEE SOME OF THE OTHER, UH, PIECES THAT WE HAVE IN HERE WHEN IT COMES TO SHARING MEDIA. 
          UM, AND SO I I, I'LL HIT ON THAT A LITTLE BIT LATER. 
          UM, WE ARE ALSO AWAITING, AND THEN IT'S PRETTY IMMINENT THE PLACEMENT OF THIS, OF THE SIGNAGE, UM, WHICH IS THE FINAL STEP FOR FULL ACTIVATION. 
          UH, THE REASON THAT'S SIGNIFICANT IS BECAUSE ONCE THE SIGNS ARE PLACED IN THE GROUND, WE USE THE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDINAL POINTS, UH, TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, WE CAN LOOK AT THE SURROUNDING AREAS WHERE THE AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCES FROM THE APP WILL BE DISPLAYED. 
          AND FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, WE'RE JUST TAKING THE, THE, THE THOUGHT PROCESS OF SAYING, LET'S MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN MAYBE BLOCK OFF SOME AREAS WHERE WE DON'T WANT, UH, AN EXPERIENCE OR SOMETHING DIGITAL TO PRESENT THEMSELVES. 
          'CAUSE WE, THE LAST THING WE WANT IS SOMEONE TO BE ON THEIR PHONE, NOT PAYING ATTENTION WHILE THEY'RE DOWN, UM, AT THE FISHERMAN'S CO-OP OR SOMETHING, AND THEY'RE IN THE PARKING LOT AND NOT, YOU KNOW, NOT BEING AWARE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND THEM, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE JUST LOOKING AT THEIR PHONE. 
          SO, UM, WE ARE AWAITING THAT, THAT WILL BE OUR FINAL STEP, UM, TO KIND OF COVER THAT, TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NO DELAYS OR PROBLEMS. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE PIVOTED TO DO A FEW MONTHS AGO WAS WE BUILT ALL OF THE AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCES INTO THE APP. 
          UM, AND, AND SO THAT GIVES US THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO DISPLAY AND SHARE THINGS, UH, TODAY. 
          UH, LASTLY, UH, WE HAVE FOCUS GROUPS THAT'LL BE RUNNING, UH, HERE WE HAVE, UM, HBCU STUDENTS THAT, THAT INTERN, UH, FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY THAT INTERN WITH SO LOSS, UM, IN OUR, IN OUR PRODUCTION AND MEDIA DEPARTMENT. 
          AND SO THEY TYPICALLY, UM, JOIN THE FOCUS GROUPS WITH US WHEN WE'RE DEVELOPING APPS. 
          WE ALSO HAVE SOME HIGH SCHOOL, UM, STUDENTS FROM, UM, THE SEVEN SCHOOLS THAT WE WORK WITH HERE IN OKLAHOMA. 
          WE HAVE SOME ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND THEIR FA THEIR, THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS. 
          SO ON FRIDAY WE'RE GONNA BE RUNNING A FOCUS GROUP AS WE PUT AND LOAD IN SOME OF THE FINAL ASSETS FOR THEM TO, UH, SIT DOWN WITH US, HAVE THE EXPERIENCE WITH THE APP, GIVE US THE FEEDBACK, BECAUSE AGAIN, AT THIS JUNCTURE IT'S PRETTY EASY TO, TO PIVOT. 
          BUT ALSO DURING OUR WEEKLY MEETING THAT WE HAVE, UH, WITH MR. BOXING AND HIS TEAM, UH, WE'LL WORK TOGETHER WITH THEM ON, UH, NEXT WEEK MAYBE GETTING A FOCUS GROUP TOGETHER THAT, AND IT'S JUST A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS WHO CAN TAKE, UH, SOME TIME AND GO THROUGH THE APP AND, UM, VOICE THEIR QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMMENTS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE, ALL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN BE IN THE BEST POSSIBLE POSITION WHEN THE APP IS RELEASED, UH, HERE IN TWO WEEKS. 
          UM, AND SO WITH THAT, UM, THAT'S JUST KIND OF A, A, A BROAD BRUSH OVERVIEW. 
          I'M GONNA COME BACK AND SHOW YOU THE APP HERE IN A SECOND, BUT WHAT WE ALSO KNOW IS THAT THE WEBSITE IS GONNA BE A VITAL DIGITAL FOOTPRINT, UH, FOR THE CDC AS, UH, VISITORS BEGIN TO FIND THAT THROUGH OUR SEO, OUR SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION AND THINGS OF THOSE EFFORTS, AS THEY BEGIN TO DISCOVER MORE WHAT THE CDCS INVOLVED IN, WHAT THEY'RE, UH, ARE, PART OF HOW THEY'RE AFFECTING, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S HAPPENING IN HILTON HEAD, THAT'S GONNA BE A VITAL PART. 
          AND SO I'M GONNA TURN OVER TO CLANCE TO LET YOU SEE WHERE WE ARE WITH THAT. 
          AND AFTER HE'S DONE, HE'LL TOSS IT BACK TO ME AND WE'LL WALK THROUGH THE APP TOGETHER. 
          ALRIGHT, GOOD. 
          GOOD MORNING, COUNSEL. 
          CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES. 
          YES, WE CAN HEAR YOU. 
          OKAY, PERFECT. 
          PERFECT. 
          UM, I'M GOING TO SHARE MY SCREEN REAL QUICK, UM, AND JUST GIVE YOU KIND OF A, A BRIEF OVERVIEW. 
          UH, AS, AS KJ MENTIONED WITH THE APP, UM, THE BUILD OUT IS A HUNDRED PERCENT COMPLETE WITH THE WEBSITE. 
          NOW WE'RE JUST IN THE PROCESS OF, YOU KNOW, THE DETAILS, UM, AND, AND SOME OF THE CONTENT THAT WE NEED TO FILL. 
          BUT LIKE, LIKE KJ SAID, UH, THE STRUCTURE AND EVERYTHING, UM, IN COMPLEMENTARY WITH THE WEB, SO, OR WITH THE APPLICATION IS, IS COMPLETE. 
          [00:30:01]
SO I WANTED TO RUN THROUGH THE EXPERIENCE DE WEBSITE WITH YOU. 
          CAN EVERYBODY SEE, Y'ALL SEE MY SCREEN? HOLD ON JUST A SECOND HERE. 
          UH, IT'S COMING BACK. 
          THERE YOU GO. 
          OKAY, PERFECT. 
          PERFECT. 
          WONDERFUL. 
          SO, UM, BRIEF OVERVIEW. 
          UH, WE WANTED TO MAKE THIS, UH, AS, AS INVITING, UM, AND AS COMPLIMENTARY TO, TO THE APPLICATION AS POSSIBLE. 
          UM, AND, AND REALISTIC. 
          UH, WE DID NOT WANT TO USE, UH, YOU, YOU KNOW, STOCK PHOTOS, STOCK IMAGES. 
          WE WANTED TO REALLY CAPTURE THE SPACE AND THE PEOPLE OF, OF, OF HILTON HEAD. 
          UM, THIS IS OUR, OUR HOME SCREEN, UM, EXPERIENCE. 
          GULLAH.ORG WILL BE, UH, THE DOMAIN. 
          THIS IS OUR HOME SCREEN. 
          AND AGAIN, UH, WE WANTED TO USE DYNAMIC CONTENT, UM, THINGS THAT WE CAN FILL IN, UH, WE CAN, WE CAN UPDATE IMAGES AS NEED BE. 
          UM, WE CAN HAVE FEATURES FOR DIFFERENT FESTIVALS AND EVENTS, UM, AND REALLY CAPTURE THE PRESENCE OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON, UH, IN HILTON HEAD AT THE TIME. 
          UH, SO, SO WE WANTED TO GIVE SOME, SOME SAMPLES OF THAT. 
          AND AGAIN, ALL OF THIS CAN BE UPDATED, ADJUSTED, UH, AND, AND, UM, UPDATED FOR WHATEVER EVENT IS IS, IS GOING ON. 
          UM, WE'VE GOT SOME NAVIGATIONAL PIECES HERE, AND I'M JUST RUNNING THROUGH THE HOME, THE HOMEPAGE, UH, JUST REAL QUICKLY, BECAUSE AGAIN, A LOT OF THIS IS KIND OF THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF WHAT'S GOING ON ON SOME OF THE, THE SUBSEQUENT PAGES. 
          BUT, UH, WE'VE BEEN SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE, UH, THE, THE CDC STAFF HELP US WITH CONTENT BUILDING, UM, PROVIDING US WITH, WITH, UH, INFORMATION. 
          UM, WE'VE GOT A FULL EVENT CALENDAR, UH, GOING IN FROM 2025 TO 2026 WITH ALL OF THE, UH, CDC PUBLIC MEETINGS, ANY FESTIVALS THAT ARE GOING ON, ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, TASK FORCE, UH, ALL OF THAT WE'VE BUILT OUT A FULL KIND OF CALENDAR FOR, FOR EVENTS AND UPDATES. 
          UM, AND THEN WE'VE ALSO PROVIDED WHAT WE LIKE TO CALL GULLAH TV, WHICH IS A, WHICH IS A STREAMING PLATFORM THAT PROVIDES, UH, A TON OF VIDEO CONTENT, UM, THAT WE CAN, AGAIN, ADD TO, UM, A JUST BUILD OUT. 
          UH, BUT KJ WILL GO INTO THAT AS WELL AS WELL. 
          UM, ON THE NEIGHBORHOODS PAGE, WE HAVE BUILT OUT, UM, SITES OR SUBSITES FOR EACH OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          AND WE'VE FEATURED, YOU KNOW, THREE NOW. 
          BUT WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY, EVERY HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOOD HAD ITS OWN NICHE AND, AND SOMETHING THAT WAS SIGNIFICANT ABOUT THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          UM, AND SO BAY GOLF, FOR EXAMPLE, I WANTED TO GO THROUGH BAY GOLF REAL QUICKLY. 
          UM, JUST PROVIDING YOU GUYS WITH SOME HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND, AND, UM, AND INFORMATION OF WHAT EACH OF THESE, EACH ONE OF THESE PAGES WILL LOOK LIKE. 
          UM, PROVIDING SOME EXISTING HISTORIES AND CONTEXT. 
          WE'VE ACTUALLY BUILT OUT, YOU KNOW, DIGITAL SIGNAGE THAT MATCHES, UH, MATCHES THE SIGNAGE THAT ARE, UH, IN, IN THE SPECIFIC NEIGHBORHOODS TO PROVIDE SOME VISUAL CONTEXT. 
          UM, ONE OF, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE FEATURED IN BEAL WERE THE HISTORIC CHURCHES. 
          AND SO WE'VE GOT INFORMATION AND CONTENT AROUND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE HISTORIC CHURCHES, UH, ESPECIALLY IN BEAL. 
          WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE, THE PATH ATHLETICS AND, UM, THAT EX HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE, UH, AROUND, AROUND SPORTS AND BAGEL GOLF. 
          SO WE'VE, WE'VE KIND OF HIGHLIGHTED SOME OF THOSE THINGS. 
          AND EACH ONE OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS WILL, WILL PROVIDE CONTEXT, UM, AROUND, UH, SOMETHING THAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT, ABOUT THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. 
          UM, ON THE CULTURE PAGE, UM, AGAIN, WE WANTED TO, WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT REAL PEOPLE, REAL IMAGES, REAL THEMES, UH, THAT ARE, THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO HILTON HEAD. 
          UM, AND SO WITH OUR CULTURES PAGE, THIS IS BUILDING OUT, UM, KIND OF A FULL SCALE, WHAT IS GOING ON IN HILTON HEAD RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, WHERE CAN YOU EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT FOODS, UH, DIFFERENT CULTURAL EXPERIENCES SHOP. 
          UM, WE'VE ALSO STARTED WORKING ON BUILDING OUT A, AN ENTIRE KIND OF BUSINESS DIRECTORY, UM, THAT WILL BE, UH, PRESENT HERE AS WELL AS, UH, SOME, SOME, SOME GULLAH GEECHEE RESOURCES. 
          UM, AND SO THIS PAGE IS 
          [00:35:01]
VERY, VERY SIGNIFICANT IN TERMS OF, UH, THE, THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THAT WE'RE, WE'RE BUILDING OUT. 
          AGAIN, WE'VE GOT THE MONEY TALK SERIES, UH, WE'VE GOT INFORMATION ABOUT THE MONEY TALK SERIES, AGAIN, DIFFERENT EVENTS. 
          UM, AND WE'VE LEFT SPACE FOR DIFFERENT PROMOTIONAL ITEMS IN CASE, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT A FEATURED RESTAURANT OR, UH, YOU, YOU KNOW, A A FEATURED FESTIVAL THAT IS GOING ON IN THE, IN THE, UH, IN THE HILTON AREA THAT WE WANNA HIGHLIGHT. 
          UM, ALL OF THAT IS, IS CUSTOMIZABLE FOR, UH, FOR HILTON HEAD AND FOR THE CDC TO UTILIZE. 
          UM, WE FEATURED, YOU KNOW, SOME DIFFERENT FOOD AND DININGS, UM, EVEN EVEN ARTISTS, UH, AND CULTURAL EXPERIENCES. 
          UH, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I KNOW ONE, THE CDC IS WORKING ON THE BACK END TO MAKE SURE FROM A, FROM A LEGALITY STANDPOINT, THAT WE'VE GOT FOLKS THAT ARE IN GOOD STANDING AND, AND WORKING THROUGH THE BUSINESSES, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THAT IS, UH, UP TO DATE. 
          BUT WE WANTED TO AT LEAST PROVIDE YOU GUYS WITH SOME HIGHLIGHTS HERE. 
          UM, AND THEN RETAIL AGAIN, AND WE CAN FILL THIS OUT WITH WHOEVER IS WORKING WITH THE CDC, UH, AND, AND WE PROVIDE THEM ACCESS TO THIS, UM, AGAIN, RESOURCES, ADDITIONAL RESOURCES, UM, AND PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, AGAIN, ARE SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT THE SITE. 
          UH, WE WANT PEOPLE TO, AGAIN, UTILIZE THE APP, UTILIZE THE WEBSITE. 
          THEY'RE BOTH IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER. 
          UM, AND SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE, UM, GOING IN AND SHOWING THESE ARE SOME DIFFERENT SAMPLES OF SOME OF THE STOPS THAT KJ WILL, WILL, WILL TALK ABOUT. 
          BUT AGAIN, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IF, IF FOLKS DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE APP OR, OR DON'T HAVE, UH, OR DON'T HAVE, UH, HAVE ACCESS THAT THEY, THEY, THEY CAN EXPERIENCE THAT HERE. 
          I THINK, UM, ONE OF THE EXAMPLES THAT WE DID WITH, WITH GREENWOOD RISING HERE IN TULSA WAS PROVIDE A VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE. 
          UM, SO PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO BE ACTUALLY IN THAT LOCATION TO EXPERIENCE WHAT'S GOING ON IN GLAND. 
          AND, AND THIS PROVIDES THEM WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO, UH, TO LEARN AND DISCOVER BEFORE THEY GET THERE. 
          KIND OF DOING SOME, SOME PREEMPTIVE, SOME PREEMPTIVE WORK. 
          UM, LET ME BACK UP. 
          DOES, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR, UH, OR CONCERNS, UM, BEFORE I, BEFORE I PUSH THIS BACK TO KJ? NONE. 
          I HAVE A QUESTION. 
          OH, SORRY. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          YES, I JUST WANNA SAY THIS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND IT'S, IT'S SO IMPRESSIVE, . 
          YEAH. 
          I THANK YOU. 
          WELL, GO AHEAD. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          I, I WANTED TO CONCUR. 
          UM, I THINK ONE OF THE, UH, EARLY FEEDBACKS WAS WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE USING LOCAL IN THAT STOCK. 
          AND I'M, UH, I'M IMPRESSED . 
          UM, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT PICTURES FROM THE OLD BLUE JAY FIELD OUT. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT'S JUST BRINGING BACK A LOT OF MEMORY. 
          SO NO JOB WELL DONE. 
          I KNOW YOU'RE NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT COMPLETE, BUT YOU'RE DEFINITELY GOING IN A DIRECTION I THINK IS NEEDED. 
          AND, UM, WHILE I GOT THE FLOOR, I WANT TO, UH, ASK MR. BARNWELL AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME DURING PUBLIC COMMENT TO THINK ABOUT TRYING TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION FOR ME. 
          WHY DO YOU HAVE TO REPEAT IT FOR HIM? 'CAUSE HE'S SAYING THAT HE CAN'T HEAR ME, BUT DO WE KNOW? DO YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER IT RIGHT NOW, WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT IT. 
          YOU CAN TELL ME LATER, BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHY IS IT CALLED BIG ALL YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? YOU LEMME KNOW. 
          OKAY, , I THINK I ASKED YOU THAT QUESTION A WHILE AGO, , I GOT NO ANSWER FOR IT. 
          SO I, I DO HAVE A, YOU KNOW, A THOUGHT, UM, I'M SITTING HERE LOOKING AT THIS AND IT, IT'S ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. 
          IT IS, IT IS MORE THAN PROFESSIONAL AND, AND, AND, AND IT REALLY EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS GOING FORWARD. 
          UM, AND THIS MIGHT BE A, A REALM FOR THE CHURCHES MORE SO THAN THIS, BUT ANCESTRY, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THE, YOU KNOW, WHERE, WHERE'S THE, THE BIBLE, YOU KNOW, IT, THAT SHOWS YOUR ANCESTRY. 
          'CAUSE WE'VE GOT FIVE GENERATIONS HERE TODAY, IF NOT MORE. 
          BUT IT IS ABOUT PEOPLE BEING ABLE TO FIND THEIR DESCENDANTS, RIGHT? AND THAT LINEAGE BACK TO HILTON HEAD, UM, AND SOME OF THOSE STORIES, I THINK THAT THAT IS TAKEN A LITTLE BIT DEEPER AND, UM, YOU KNOW, JUST GIVES IT A LITTLE MORE VALUE. 
          SO I THINK IT'S, THAT'S THE NEXT REAL YOU, MAYBE YOU'VE ALREADY THOUGHT OF THAT, AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SMILING. 
          THANKS FOR THROWING THE ALLEYOOP. 
          [00:40:01]
I MEAN, I TELL YOU WHAT, YOU A PERFECT TEAMMATE, MAN, , UM, THAT IS ABSOLUTELY PART OF OUR NEXT PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT. 
          AND, AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, AS AS KJ OR CLARENCE GOES THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE, UM, THAT THE CHURCHES ARE, THERE'S A PLACEHOLDER CURRENTLY FOR EACH OF THE CHURCHES IN THE GULLAH COMMUNITY. 
          AND WE WILL IN ANOTHER PHASE, TIE THE CEMETERIES TO THE, UM, TO THE CHURCHES, UH, TO GIVE US SOME HISTORICAL CONTEXT SO THAT FOLKS WILL BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY, THROUGH THIS APPLICATION AND THROUGH THIS WEBSITE, BE ABLE TO FIND THEIR FAMILY NAMES. 
          AND, UH, YOU KNOW, IT'S A LITTLE PREMATURE TO DO THIS, BUT WE HAVE A PARTNERSHIP THAT WE'RE BUILDING WITH ANOTHER ORGANIZATION THAT WILL TIE FURTHER INTO THE, UH, INTO THE LINEAGE, INTO THE CULTURAL AND, AND I MEAN, TO THE, UH, FAMILIAL RESEARCH. 
          SO, UH, THERE'LL BE ANOTHER ANNOUNCEMENT COMING AT A LATER DATE, OKAY. 
          ONCE WE HAVE SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE FORMAL IN PLACE WITH ANOTHER ENTITY THAT I'M WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH TO TIE ALL OF THESE ENDS TOGETHER. 
          BUT IT'S A VERY EXCITING, UH, I I MUST SAY IT'S A VERY EXCITING OPPORTUNITY, UH, THAT THAT SOUNDS GREAT. 
          YOU KNOW, THIS PAST WEEKEND, UM, I WAS ON DUSKY. 
          I WAS DOING A, A GOLF CART RIDE AND FOUND SOME OLD CEMETERIES MM-HMM . 
          AND GOING BACK TO THE 17 HUNDREDS MM-HMM . 
          AND THEN JUST HAPPENED TO COME ACROSS, UM, MR. PINCKNEY'S, UM, YOU KNOW, ONE OF MR. PINCKNEY, ONE OF THE PINCKNEY'S. 
          UM, BUT IT WAS JUST INTERESTING, YOU KNOW, THE MONEY THAT'S LEFT ON THE GRAVES, THE COINS, THE COMMENTS, BUT THERE'S A, THERE'S A, IT'S THE FAMILY RIGHT WITHIN THE LOW COUNTRY THAT THIS COULD BE EXPANDED TO. 
          AND I THINK IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST AWESOME. 
          LET ME, LET ME TIE INTO ALL THAT'S BEEN SAID THUS FAR AS TO HOW OUTSTANDING THIS IS. 
          UM, WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, IT'S NOT ONLY A A, AN ATTRACTION PIECE FOR VISITORS. 
          'CAUSE WHEN WE GET READY TO GO PLACES, WE ALL DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE, BUT THIS IS A MUST SEE, UH, WE, WE CAN'T MISS THIS. 
          BUT IT ALSO IS A MUST SEE, AND WE CAN'T MISS THIS FOR THOSE WHO LIVE HERE, UM, BECAUSE IT STIRS UP PRIDE, IT STIRS UP OWNERSHIP. 
          YOU GUYS ARE DOING A, AN AMAZING JOB OF CAPTURING WHAT IS REAL, WHAT IS RELEVANT, AND WHAT IS NOW. 
          UM, SO KUDOS TO YOU. 
          IT'S IN ITS INFANCY. 
          AND EVEN IN ITS INFANCY, IF, WHEN IT THINGS GETS FLUSHED OUT, AND IT COULD BE BECOMES MATURE, IT'S GONNA BLOW ALL OF OUR MINDS. 
          IF, IF, IF WHAT WE SEE NOW WAS JUST THE BEGINNING. 
          UM, SO I APPLAUD YOU FOR THE WORK, AND YOU CAN, YOU CAN TELL, AS I SAID, UM, EARLIER ABOUT, UM, OUR DIRECTOR, THERE'S A, THERE WAS A LOT, A TON OF WORK, UH, WENT IN TO, TO GETTING US TO THE POINT WHERE YOU ARE. 
          AND SO CON CON CONTINUE TO TAP INTO THE RESOURCES THAT, THAT YOU HAVE. 
          AND THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT A, A LOT OF PEOPLE, UH, UH, MISS. 
          WE HAVE A LOT OF RESOURCES AT OUR DISPOSAL. 
          UM, THIS IS, THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY A WONDERFUL TEACHING TOOL, UM, FOR, FOR, FOR NOT ONLY THE, THE, THE, THE , BUT ALSO THE, THE BEEZ SO THAT WE CAN ALL APPRECIATE WHAT, WHAT IS TO, UH, TO COME. 
          MAY I? YES. 
          UM, I, I ADD MY CONGRATULATIONS TO OTHERS. 
          UM, I THINK WE'RE REALLY HEADED IN A INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT, UH, DIRECTION SO THAT PEOPLE CAN APPRECIATE THE UNIQUE, UM, UNIQUENESS OF WHAT HILTON HEAD HISTORY IS ALL ABOUT. 
          UM, BUT I HAVE A COUPLE OF REACTIONS THAT I WANTED TO RAISE MORE TO GET OTHER PEOPLE'S THOUGHTS AND FEEDBACK. 
          UM, I'M SENSITIVE TO THE OCEAN SCENE AT THE VERY BEGINNING, UH, SENSITIZED BY YEARS OF WORKING WITH WHAT SEEMS TO ME TO BE AN OVERSIMPLIFICATION OF WHAT HILTON HEAD ISLAND IS FROM A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE STANDPOINT. 
          AND I THINK THAT THE, UM, THE, THERE, THERE IS, THERE, THERE MUST BE A WAY OF COMMUNICATING A STRONGER MESSAGE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT GULLAH SEA IN THIS ISLAND, UH, THAN AN OCEAN SEA. 
          BUT I RAISED THAT BECAUSE I MAY BE WRONG. 
          UM, INSTINCTIVELY I THINK THAT, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE OF THAT ARTWORK CONNECTING TO THE HISTORY, OR AS THE MAYOR SAID, THE ANCESTRY, SOMETHING THAT IS OF DEEPER IMPORTANCE THAN A OCEAN SCENE. 
          THAT'S A REACTION I HAD. 
          THE SECOND IS THAT YOU USE THE TERM CHARTING A LEGACY, 
          [00:45:01]
UH, THAT SUGGESTS THAT WE ARE, UH, WE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO CREATE, WHEREAS I THINK A STRONGER IMPLICATION MIGHT BE BUILDING ON THE LEGACY. 
          AGAIN, JUST MY REACTIONS, UH, FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S COMMENTS. 
          AND THEN THE THIRD IS MORE OF A PRACTICAL QUESTION. 
          UH, HOW ARE, HOW IS THIS WEBSITE GOING TO BE LINKED TO OTHER WEBSITES AND ORGANIZATIONS? THANK YOU. 
          SO IN REGARDS TO, UM, YOUR LAST, UM, QUESTION IN RELATIONSHIP TO THIS WEBSITE BEING LINKED TO OTHERS, UM, THAT WILL, THAT IS PART OF OUR, UH, MARKETING AND ADVERTISING CAPACITY AND CAPABILITY. 
          UM, WE WILL HAVE, OF COURSE, PARTNERS THAT WE WORK WITH, BUT THAT REPRESENTS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMERCE, FOR, FOR US AS WELL TO LINK OUR SITE TO OTHER SITES AS A MEANS OF COMMERCE. 
          SO, UM, WE WILL DEFINITELY HAVE PARTNERS THAT WE ADVERTISE WITH, BUT, UM, THAT DOES REPRESENT A BROADER OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CDC AS A WHOLE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO, UH, MEAN I WOULD, OH, SORRY. 
          NO, GO AHEAD. 
          I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE THERE, MR. WHITE, HOW YOU DOING? I'M DOING, I'M DOING WELL. 
          GO AHEAD GUYS. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          UH, JOINED A COUPLE MINUTES LATE. 
          MY NINE O'CLOCK WENT OVER. 
          UM, YEAH, YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK TO DAVID'S COMMENT. 
          UM, WELL BEFORE THAT I, I, I, I, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, AGREE WITH EVERYONE ELSE IN TERMS OF, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, LOOKING AT THE WEBSITE, WHAT IT REPRESENTS, UM, AND, UM, IT'S GONNA BE A GREAT REPRESENTATION, UH, OF US MOVING FORWARD. 
          UM, BUT GOING TO DAVID'S COMMENT ABOUT THIS SORT OF BEACH PHOTO BEING ON THE LANDING PAGE, UM, I THINK THERE, THERE IS A THING, SOMETHING THERE WITH, WITH THAT, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THE IMAGE IS A, YOU KNOW, THERE'S SOME OF THOSE BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOS FROM HILTON HEAD, YOU KNOW, PRE BRIDGE. 
          I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THE LANDING PAGE, IF THAT'S THE LIKE, LANDING PHOTO THAT WE SHOW. 
          SO IT'S PRETTY, PRETTY CLEAR THAT THIS REPRESENTS, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE NATIVE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, BUT YEAH, IT'S SORT OF LIKE WHEN, WHEN PEOPLE COME TO THINK ABOUT HILTON HEAD AND ITS NEW VERSION OF IT, RIGHT? 'CAUSE I WOULD CONSIDER AFTER CHARLES FRAZIER THE NEW VERSION, IT'S THE LIGHTHOUSE AND IT'S THE BEACH, RIGHT? SO AS I'VE MENTIONED EARLIER IN OUR CONVERSATIONS HERE, I WOULD LOVE TO NOT BE LINKED TO THAT PER, THAT'S JUST, THAT'S JUST KIND OF, YOU KNOW, PERSONAL THERE. 
          SO IF THERE'S A WAY TO THINK ABOUT THAT, NOT LINKING US TO, TO THAT VISION OF HILTON HEAD, I WOULD, I WOULD THAT, I THINK THAT THAT'S A, THAT'S A GOOD COMMENT. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, THANKS DAVID FOR RAISING THAT THOUGHT ABOUT IT, BUT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THE DOT WAS FLEETING, BUT THANKS, THANKS FOR BRINGING IT UP TO THE, YOU KNOW, OUR CONVERSATION HERE. 
          I JUST WANTED TO, TO, TO CHIME IN ON THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          PETERSON, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS? TAKE YOURSELF OFF MUTE. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          I HAD A LOT OF COMMENTS, BUT I COULDN'T GET MY MUTE OFF. 
          FIRST OF ALL, I WANNA ECHO WHAT EVERYONE SAID IS OUTSTANDING PRO UH, PROCESS. 
          AND I LOVE THE GRAPHICS. 
          THE GRAPHICS ARE BEAUTIFUL. 
          I DO AGREE WITH BOTH ANDRE AND, UM, DAVID. 
          DAVID, THANK YOU FOR THINKING ABOUT THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT HAVE NOT GIVEN A DEEPER THOUGHT TO. 
          UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING ELSE THAT REFLECTS THE GULLAH COMMUNITY INSTEAD OF THE BEACH AND THE LIGHTHOUSE. 
          I, I GET TIRED OF THAT LOOKING AT THAT ALL THE TIME. 
          EVERY TIME I SEE IT, IT'S KIND OF LIKE, THERE'S OTHER THINGS HERE BESIDES BEACH AND A LIGHTHOUSE. 
          SO IF YOU COULD FIND SOMETHING THERE, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. 
          THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE MY ONLY COMMENTS, BUT IT WAS A GREAT PRODUCT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          LET, LET ME JUST JUMP IN HERE. 
          I THINK IT'S UP TO OUR COMMUNITY TO DECIDE WHAT IS SHOULD BE REPRESENTED IN THAT FIRST PAGE. 
          SO THEY, UH, , THEY, THEY LOOKING FOR PICTURES WHEN WE LOOK AT THE BEACH, WE'RE LOOKING AT BOMBAY CLUB OR BURKE'S HIDEAWAY OR THE SEA BREEZE. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO SEE ON THE BEACH. 
          I'M JUST THROWING SOME STUFF OUT THERE. 
          . 
          WELL, THAT ALL OF THAT IS GREAT. 
          WE HAVE TO LOCATE THOSE PHOTOS THOUGH. 
          YEAH, I GOT IT. 
          SO THAT'S ONE PIECE THAT WE, UH, THE, ONE OF THE PIECES THAT WE WILL CONSISTENTLY, UH, YOU KNOW, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, AND WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT 
          [00:50:01]
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS WEBSITE WILL SPARK THIS TYPE OF COMMUNITY FEEDBACK SLASH UM, UM, THE ABILITY FOR INDIVIDUALS TO UPLOAD PHOTOS THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE IN THEIR PERSONAL ARCHIVES THAT THEY WOULDN'T MIND SHARING WITH US. 
          AGAIN, PLEASE REMEMBER THAT, UM, AS, AS OUR DEVELOPERS DISCUSSED AT THIS POINT, EVERYTHING IS PLUG AND PLAY, SO WE CAN MAKE ADJUSTMENTS ON THE FLY. 
          I ALSO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO THAT WILL BE COMING IN AS WELL. 
          SOME DRONE FOOTAGE FROM SOME OF OUR HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          YOU KNOW, WE WERE OUT AT, I WAS OUT WITH A CONSULTANT OUT AT, UH, GREENS, UH, OUT AT THE, UH, SHELL PARK, THE SHELL RING PARK, UM, EARLIER THIS WEEK, TAKING SOME FOOTAGE THERE DURING LOW TIDE AND, AND LOOKING AT SOME OF THAT. 
          SO WE WILL HAVE IN OUR REPOSITORY BY THE TIME WE COMPLETE THIS, UH, FIRST PHASE SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF PHOTOS AS WELL AS VIDEO THAT REPRESENTS OUR COMMUNITY, UM, AND SOME OF THE LOCATIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY. 
          BUT, UH, YEAH, THAT'S, THOSE ARE POINTS THAT, UH, ARE WELL TAKEN. 
          THE, THE OTHER POINT THAT MS. AMES MADE, UM, I AGREE WITH THAT AS WELL. 
          UM, AS, AS MUCH AS WE CAN THROUGHOUT THE APP AND THE WEBSITE, UH, USE, USE CONTENT OR VERBIAGE THAT IS PRESENT VERSUS PAST, BECAUSE I AGREE, BUILDING ON LEGACY MEANS A WHOLE LOT MORE AS FAR AS COMMUNITY PRIDE AND CONTINUUM THAN A LEGACY, RIGHT? SO I, I AGREE WITH THAT A HUNDRED PERCENT. 
          GOTCHA. 
          YOU JUST USED THE WORD PRIDE, AND, AND I THINK THAT IS CRITICAL TO, TO THAT FIRST SLIDE. 
          WHAT, WHAT COMMUNICATES SORT OF THE ESSENCE, THE PRIDE OF THE GULLAH COMMUNITY ON HILTON HEAD. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALRIGHT, LET'S MOVE FORWARD WITH, UM, UH, WITH, UM, FURTHER, UH, THE PRESENTATION. 
          WE'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO KJ. 
          OKAY. 
          EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT FEEDBACK. 
          AND I APPRECIATE ALL OF THOSE. 
          AND SO, UM, YOU GUYS ARE ALL OFFICIALLY A PART OF THE FOCUS GROUP BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU JUST DID TO, UM, IT'S KIND OF IN THIS PROCESS IS WHAT WE LOOK FORWARD TO, RIGHT? LIKE WE, WE GET EVERYTHING BUILT AND EVERYTHING IS IN PLACE AND ANY PIECE CAN BE MOVED AND NOW YOU'VE SEEN A VISION AND NOW YOU CAN TWEAK IT TO HAVE IT DRESSED HOW YOU WANT IT TO BE, UM, THAT BEST REPRESENTS YOU. 
          SO, UM, SO, SO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THAT FEEDBACK AND, UM, LOOKING FORWARD TO, UH, CONTINUING TO EXPLORE THAT. 
          SO WHAT I'M GONNA DO NOW IS I'M GOING TO SHARE, I'M GONNA, WE'RE GONNA SEE HOW THIS WORKS. 
          UM, KIND OF TRYING TO SHARE THIS THROUGH, YOU KNOW, VIRTUALLY. 
          I'M GONNA SHARE A, UM, DO A SCREEN SHARE OF, OF THE, OF A, OF THE APP. 
          LET'S SEE. 
          HOLD ON IF I CAN DO IT THIS WAY. 
          NO, NO, THAT WON'T WORK. 
          LET'S SEE IF I CAN GET THE ACTUAL, SO THIS IS RUNNING OFF OF MY COMPUTER, JUST, UH, JUST SO I CAN KIND OF WALK THROUGH THIS PRETTY, PRETTY CLEARLY. 
          HOPEFULLY YOU ALL CAN SEE, UM, I DUNNO, I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN MAKE IT ANY BIGGER FOR YOU, IF THAT HELPS. 
          IF YOU HAVE YOUR, IF YOU HAVE IT ON YOUR PHONE, UH, GO AHEAD AND, YOU KNOW, GRAB IT ON YOUR PHONE. 
          BUT WHAT I'M JUST GONNA DO QUICKLY, JUST FOR SAKE OF THE TIME, UM, JUST KIND OF JUST WALK THROUGH, UH, KIND OF, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS AND AND PIECES ARE. 
          AND SO, UH, WHEN THE APP IS OPEN, IT COMES IN WITH THE ANIMATION VIDEO, THEY CAN CREATE AN ACCOUNT, UM, OR THEY CANNOT CREATE AN ACCOUNT. 
          SO THERE'S THE ABILITY TO HAVE PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCE VERSUS AN ANONYMITY. 
          SO A USER CAN USE THIS, UM, ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT, WITHOUT HAVING THE ACCOUNT AT ALL. 
          BUT ONCE THEY COME IN, UH, THIS TOP PART UP HERE THAT, THAT IS REPRESENTED AT THIS, UM, THIS IS WILL COME OUT OF THE FOCUS GROUP OF HOW WE WANT TO USE THIS. 
          WHETHER WE USE THIS FOR EVENTS, UM, KIND OF AN ANNOUNCEMENT REEL BOARD. 
          UM, BUT WHAT THEY'RE ABLE TO DO IF THEY START HERE WITH THE WELCOME THIS, THIS HAS THE VIDEO THAT WAS, UH, PLAYED, THAT PLAYS WHEN THE APP FIRST COMES IN. 
          UM, IT ALSO HAS, UM, JUST, YOU KNOW, SOME INFORMATION, UM, YOU KNOW, UH, UM, JUST SOME ABOUT KIND OF WHAT THE EXPERIENCE IS GONNA BE. 
          UM, THIS, YOU'RE GONNA SEE THIS COMMON THREAD ON EVERY SECTION, THIS SECTION RIGHT HERE WITH THE TRAVEL GUIDE. 
          UM, IT WILL, IT WON'T SHOW ANYTHING JUST YET. 
          'CAUSE WE HAVE TO GET THE LATITUDE, LOGICAL POINTS OF THE SIGNS THAT'LL BE IN THE GROUND. 
          BECAUSE WHAT THIS WILL DO IS WHATEVER STOP THAT THEY'RE AT, IT WILL JUST MAP THEM FROM, FROM WHERE, WHEREVER LOCATION THEY HAPPEN TO BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TO THAT SIGN IN HILTON HEAD. 
          SO THAT'S WHY THAT'S THE FINAL IMPLEMENTATION ON THAT. 
          UM, WE ARE WORKING ON THE BUSINESS DIRECTORY THAT THOSE TWO PIECES, UH, WHETHER IT'S EATERY, WHETHER IT'S, UH, HOTELS OR OTHERS THAT'LL COME OUT OF CIRCLES GROUP. 
          BUT THAT'S JUST CHANGING A TEXT. 
          LIKE TO DETERMINE WHAT THAT IS, USER REVIEWS. 
          [00:55:01]
THIS GIVES PEOPLE THE ABILITY TO COMMENT. 
          THIS IS A MODERATED THING. 
          UM, WE CAN HIDE THIS. 
          UH, THIS WILL BE PART OF, PART OF THE THING THAT, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, UM, MR. BOXING, HIS TEAM HAS TO DECIDE. 
          DO YOU WANT USER REVIEWS? UM, MUCH GOOGLE, WE'RE USED TO USER REVIEWS THAT YOU WANT THAT FEEDBACK, UH, BECAUSE IT DOES BRING A RESPONSIBILITY OF SOMEBODY HAVING TO MODERATE JUST TO CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NOTHING, UH, INAPPROPRIATE, UM, INAPPROPRIATE ON IT. 
          BUT BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE ABLE TO DO, IF YOU HAVE THIS ON YOUR, UM, ON YOUR PHONE, YOU'RE ABLE TO COME INTO THE, TO THE, TO THIS SPACE. 
          LET'S JUST SAY THIS BROUGHT YOU TO, UM, ROBINSON JUNIOR HIGH, OR THIS, THE LOCATION WHERE ROBINSON USED TO BE, YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO CLICK, UM, UM, THIS LINK RIGHT HERE. 
          AND I'M GONNA SWITCH TO MY OTHER PHONE THAT'S CONNECTED. 
          SO HOPEFULLY YOU CAN SEE, UM, YOU CAN SEE THE, SEE THE ACTUAL AUGMENTED REALITY PIECE OF THIS, BUT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO CLICK IT FROM YOUR PHONE AND THEN IT BRINGS UP, IT'LL BRING UP ROBINSON. 
          SO JUST RIGHT WHERE USING STAND, JUST FOR ONE QUICK PAUSE, UH, IF YOU ALL WOULD, SITTING HERE ON THE DIETS, PLEASE, UH, TAKE A MOMENT AND, AND SEE IF YOU CAN ACCESS THAT ON YOUR, ON YOUR MOBILE DEVICE WHILE HE WALKS THROUGH IT. 
          MM-HMM . 
          WITH US. 
          SO IF YOU'VE DOWNLOADED THE APP, CLICK ON ROBINSON JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND SCROLL DOWN TO THE ACTUAL, WHICHEVER PHONE YOU HAVE, APPLE, IOS, OR ANDROID, AND THEN CLICK ON THAT LINK. 
          MM-HMM . 
          GO AHEAD, MR. MR. JACKSON. 
          I JUST WANTED EVERYBODY TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PULL THAT UP. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WHEN THEY COME THERE, I'M IN, I'M ON MY PHONE RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, WITH THE APP, UM, IF THEY WOULD CLICK, IF YOU'RE IN IOS, YOU WOULD CLICK ON THE IOS. 
          IF YOU'RE ANDROID, YOU WOULD CLICK ON THE ANDROID. 
          BUT ONCE YOU COME TO THIS SCREEN, LIKE RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN SEE IN MY, IN MY OFFICE, WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT SMALLER. 
          IN FACT, I'M GONNA SWITCH IT TO AN OBJECT FIRST. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE, THIS IS THE RECONSTRUCTION OF, UM, OF THE SCHOOL. 
          AND SO WHERE THE SCHOOL WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN LOCATED TODAY, THIS WOULD APPEAR FOR THEM TO ACTUALLY SEE, UM, TO SEE THE SCHOOL AND HEAR, UM, I DON'T HAVE AUDIO ON HERE TURNED ON, BUT YOU'D BE ABLE TO HEAR AN AUDIO NARRATION, UM, ABOUT THE HISTORY, WHAT WAS HAPPENING, HAPPENING THERE. 
          SO IN THE APP, IT GIVES 'EM THE ABILITY TO DO IT AS A MODEL, MEANING THAT IF THEY JUST WANNA LOOK AROUND IT, OR THEY CAN SWITCH IT TO AUGMENTED REALITY AND THEY CAN BRING IT IN. 
          SO ANY OF YOU WHERE, WHEREVER YOU'RE AT, YOU CAN BRING IT INTO YOUR ENVIRONMENT, RIGHT? RIGHT. 
          YOU CAN BRING THE SCHOOL LITERALLY INTO YOUR LOCATION. 
          AND SO, UM, SO THAT'S HOW THAT, THAT'S HOW THAT PIECE WORKS ON, UM, ON EVERY STOP. 
          SO, UM, THIS SECTION RIGHT HERE, I MEAN, AGAIN, YOU GUYS MAY BE DOING THAT, BUT YOU CAN JUST KIND OF FOLLOW ALONG WITH ME. 
          THIS SECTION RIGHT HERE, UM, THIS IS THE MAIN HOME SCREEN IS POPULAR PLACES. 
          THIS IS ALGORITHMICALLY DRIVEN. 
          AND BASICALLY WHAT THAT MEANS IS, UM, THE PLACES THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE USING THE APP ARE GOING, WHETHER IT'S A BUSINESS, WHETHER IT'S A CHURCH, WHETHER IT'S A, A CEMETERY, WHETHER IT'S ONE OF THE STOPS, UM, AS PEOPLE VISIT THOSE STOPS, UM, IT WILL POPULATE THIS POPULAR PLACES, UM, KIND OF ROW RIGHT HERE. 
          OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE HAVEN'T STARTED USING IT YET, SO IT JUST HAS THE LOCATIONS THAT WE HAVE. 
          BUT AS THEY VISIT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, THIS KIND OF BECOMES A LIVE FEED. 
          SO PEOPLE CAN, WHEN THEY'RE COMING, UM, TO EXPERIENCE GULLAH, THEY'RE COMING TO HILTON HEAD, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT HAVE BEEN THE POPULAR STOP. 
          SO AGAIN, WHETHER IT'S BUSINESS, WHETHER IT'S AN ENTERTAINMENT VENUE, WHETHER IT'S A GOLF COURSE, WHAT, YOU KNOW, RE REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT IS, UM, ANYTHING THAT'S ASSOCIATED AND HAS BEEN PLACED IN THE APP, UH, WILL SHOW UP THERE RECENTLY ADDED THIS SECTION, UM, IS DESIGNED TO, UM, BE KIND OF THAT LIVE FEED OF AS NEW BUSINESSES, AS NEW PARTNERS, UM, AS NEW ENTITIES, AS THEY COME ON BOARD, AS SOON AS THEY'RE ADDED, UM, THAT PUTS THEM IN THE QUEUE. 
          SO THAT WAY IT'S NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE VISITING THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN COME, THAT HAVE BEEN POPULAR, BUT WHEN WE ADD NEW THINGS, WE WANT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT NEW THINGS ARE COMING INTO THE APP SO THAT THEY CAN CHECK THOSE OUT. 
          AND THEN THOSE ITEMS AS THEY'RE VISITED WOULD OBVIOUSLY MOVE UP TO POPULAR PLACES AS WELL. 
          SO, AGAIN, BOTH AS POPULAR PLACES AND RECENTLY ADDED, THOSE ARE BOTH KIND OF ALGORITHMICALLY DRIVEN TO, UM, HELP DRIVE USER ENGAGEMENT. 
          AND THEN, UM, THESE NEXT TWO, WE ARE GONNA HIDE. 
          I'M JUST, I HAVE THEM HERE, BUT EVERYTHING IN THE APP, EVERY PIECE OF, UM, EVERY SECTION WE CAN TOGGLE ON AND OFF ANYTHING WITHIN THE APP. 
          BUT WE, THESE NEXT TWO WE'RE GONNA PROBABLY HIDE UNTIL A LATER PHASE. 
          UH, PLACES IN GULLAH, THIS IS JUST WHERE WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO EXPAND, UM, THE, YOU KNOW, UH, GULLAH REACH OUTSIDE OF HILTON HEAD, UM, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THE CORRIDOR AROUND, YOU KNOW, AROUND THE US. 
          THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT WHEN I, WHEN WE GAVE YOU THIS KIND OF THE IMAGE OF WHAT THIS WOULD BE. 
          SO THESE ARE GONNA BE HIDDEN FOR NOW, BUT AGAIN, AS WE HAVE PLACES OR HAVE PARTNERSHIPS IN PLACE, AS SOON AS THOSE ARE PUT IN THE BACK END, 
          [01:00:01]
THOSE WILL SHOW UP HERE IN THE, UH, IN THE FRONT END RECOMMENDED PLACES. 
          UH, THESE ARE JUST LIKE RIGHT NOW WHEN THE OUTCOMES, WHEN THE AMP WAS RELEASED IN TWO WEEKS, THOSE TWO PLACES ABOVE WON'T BE THERE. 
          UM, WE'RE OBVIOUSLY GONNA BE RECOMMENDING THEM TO GO TO THE VARIOUS, THE VARIOUS LOCATIONS. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, THIS NEXT ONE, UH, JUST KIND OF HIGHLIGHTS THE EXPERIENCES. 
          AND SO WHEN THEY CLICK ON THIS NEXT ONE, THEY CAN CLICK ON, UM, YOU KNOW, WHICHEVER EXPERIENCE THEY WANT TO GO TO. 
          SO I'M GONNA CLICK ON, YOU KNOW, FISHERMAN'S CO-OP. 
          UM, IT TELLS US RIGHT THERE THAT IT'S STOP NUMBER TWO. 
          ONCE I CLICK ON THAT AND I BRING THAT UP, UM, YOU KNOW, IT GIVES US, IT GIVES US THE INFORMATION. 
          UM, THEY'LL LEARN AGAIN. 
          WE HAVE SOME EXPERIENCES TO LEARN ABOUT OYSTERS. 
          HOW DOES, YOU KNOW, HOW OUR OYSTERS, UM, HOW IS THAT SIGNIFICANT TO THE REGION? HOW IS IT SIGNIFICANT TO HILTON HEAD? HOW IS IT SIGNIFICANT IN THE GULLAH COMMUNITY? OBVIOUSLY THEY COULD CLICK ON, UH, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO CLICK ON THEIR LINK. 
          ONCE THEY CLICK ON THEIR, UH, THEIR LINK, UM, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO BRING IN, UH, THAT TYPE OF, I'M GONNA SWITCH IT TO OBJECT MODE JUST FOR SAKE OF TIME, BUT THIS OBJECT CAN BE DONE VIA THEIR PHONE WHERE THEY CAN USE, YOU CAN USE A PINCH ZOOM WITH YOUR FINGERS, UM, AND THEY CAN, YOU KNOW, LISTEN TO AND LEARN ABOUT, UM, OYSTERS AS THEY PINCH AND ZOOM AROUND, OR THEY CAN PLACE THAT OYSTER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LIVING ROOM AND STAND IN IT AND LOOK AROUND IT, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          SO YOU NEED TO STOP OYSTER. 
          YOU'RE MAKING ME HUNGRY, . 
          SORRY ABOUT THAT. 
          THAT'S GOOD. 
          THAT MEANS IT LOOKS REAL. 
          UM, AND SO OUTSIDE OF THAT, THEN I WANNA JUST TAKE YOU TO THE CENTER SECTION. 
          THE CENTER ONE RIGHT HERE. 
          THIS IS THE HIGHLIGHT SECTION. 
          AND SO, UM, WITH THIS, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO, UM, RIGHT HERE WE HAVE DISCOVERY HERITAGE. 
          SO IF THEY CLICK ON THAT, THIS GIVES 'EM THE ABILITY, UM, TO KIND OF BRING IN THE WEBSITE INTO THE APP. 
          SO IF THEY, THEY CAN HIT THE EXPERIENCE GULLAH BUTTON UP THERE TO THE LEFT OF THE HEART, UH, IF THEY HIT THAT BUTTON, THEN WHAT IT'LL DO IS IT CONVERTS THE APP TO BECOME A WEB APP. 
          AND THEN NOW THE, THE FULL WEBSITE IS NOW INTEGRATED INTO THE APP. 
          SO IT BRINGS IT ALL THE WAY IN. 
          AND SO NOW THEY HAVE THE FULLNESS AND THE RICHNESS OF EVERYTHING FROM THE WEBSITE RIGHT THERE INTO THE, UM, YOU KNOW, INTO THE APP AS WELL. 
          AND SO THE APPLICATION IS FULLY INTEGRATED. 
          WE ALSO HAVE, UM, IN HERE, UH, JUST KIND OF FUTURE FACING, THIS WILL BE HIDDEN PROBABLY WITH LAUNCH, BUT, UH, MR. BOXLEY HAS THIS GREAT VISION OF WHAT HE WANTS TO DO WITH THE BUSINESSES AND SHOPPING AND, UH, THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 
          AND SO THE HIGHLIGHT SECTION WILL BE WHERE WE HIGHLIGHT DIFFERENT FORWARD FACING TECHNOLOGICAL THINGS THAT THE APP CONTAINS. 
          UM, AND I WILL JUST PAUSE AND SAY THIS SO THAT YOU ALL CAN UNDERSTAND. 
          UM, YOU ALL PROBABLY HAVE SOME OF THE TOP TECHNOLOGY IN THE WORLD IN THIS APP. 
          AND I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU, UH, EVEN HERE WITH THE, UM, UH, WITH THE EXPERIENCE, THE GULLAH TV, YOU HAVE A FULL STREAMING PLATFORM LIKE NETFLIX, RIGHT? AND SO WITH WHAT THAT BASICALLY MEANS IS YOU HAVE THE ABILITY, UM, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO, OH, WE DON'T. 
          SO THIS IS A LIVE CHANNEL. 
          UM, WE HAVE A LIVE 24 7 CHANNEL, A CURATED GULLAH CONTENT CONTENT THAT WE'VE GOT MEDIA RIGHTS TO. 
          AS OTHER CONTENT COMES IN, WE'LL BE ABLE TO, UM, GIVE RIGHTS TO THAT. 
          BUT A FULL 24 7 STATION, JUST LIKE YOUR REGULAR TV STATION, SO YOU CAN COMMUNICATE AS, AS I HEARD THE COMMENTS ABOUT THE HISTORY. 
          WHAT DO YOU WANT TO COMMUNICATE ABOUT HILTON HEAD, ABOUT THE GULLAH PEOPLE? YOU CAN COMMUNICATE YOUR OWN MESSAGING. 
          YOU CONTROL IT, YOU OWN IT. 
          IT IS, UM, OWNED AND GOVERNED BY YOU AND BROADCAST AND AVAILABLE TO THE WORLD. 
          AND SO YOU HAVE A 24 7 CHIO THAT SIMULATES LIKE LINEAR TV. 
          BUT THEN YOU ALSO HAVE, IF I COME BACK UP HERE TO THE TOP, YOU ALSO HAVE THE WHOLE NETFLIX VIBE, WHICH IS, UM, UH, JUST BASICALLY WHERE YOU HAVE ALL OF THE V ASSETS VIDEO ON DEMAND. 
          SO YOU HAVE EVERYTHING, UM, YOU HAVE ALL KIND OF CONTENT THAT YOU CAN HIGHLIGHT. 
          SO WE'VE GOT, UH, A TON OF VIDEOS IN HERE, UM, THAT HAS CONTENT THAT TELLS STORIES. 
          SO WHEN PEOPLE COME, UM, INTO THE APP OR THEY COME TO THE WEBSITE, THEY CAN HEAR DIFFERENT STORIES. 
          UM, AND WHATEVER STORIES YOU AS AN ENTITY DETERMINE THAT YOU WANT PEOPLE TO BE EDUCATED ON, IT IS 100% IN YOUR CONTROL. 
          UM, AND SO YOU DON'T EVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT, UM, ANYONE'S VOICE, UM, REPRESENTING WHAT YOU WANT TO BE SAID. 
          YOU ARE, UH, THE PRO CREATORS OF THAT CONTENT AND THE GATEKEEPERS OF IT. 
          BUT WITHIN THAT, WITHIN THE, UH, THE PIECES OF THE CONTENT THAT ARE THERE, UM, PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO COME, THEY'RE ABLE TO WATCH. 
          THEY'RE, UM, THEY'RE ABLE TO WATCH THE DIFFERENT CONTENT, UM, WATCH THE INTERVIEWS. 
          UH, THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO, YOU CAN, AS A, AS AN ENTITY, YOU'LL HAVE THE ABILITY TO DECIDE IF YOU WANT IT TO BE FREE, IF YOU WANT IT TO BE FREE WITH ADS, IF YOU WANT IT TO BE PAY-PER-VIEW, IF YOU WANT IT TO BE SUBSCRIPTION BASED. 
          SO EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO ON NETFLIX, HULU, DISNEY PLUS, AND EVERYTHING OF THAT NATURE. 
          AND WHEN, AND I MEAN, LITERALLY EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO THERE, YOU CAN NOW DO, UM, WITHIN YOUR SETUP. 
          AND SO THAT'S PRETTY, UM, AND AS FAR AS I KNOW, I THINK AS AN ENTITY, YOU'LL PROBABLY BE ONE OF THE, IF NOT THE FIRST, ONE OF THE, 
          [01:05:01]
THE, UM, ON ONE OF THE MOST PIONEERING, UM, UM, UH, UH, NONPROFIT IN, YOU KNOW, IN THAT CDC REALM THAT ACTUALLY HAS THAT, UH, THAT FEATURE SET. 
          SO THAT'S ALSO, THAT'S ALSO IN THERE, IF A USER DOES, UH, SIGN UP FOR AN ACCOUNT, WHATEVER THEY DO, UM, IS STORED SO THEY CAN COME BACK AND VISIT LATER, THAT'S ALREADY BUILT. 
          IT'S ALREADY DONE. 
          UM, ALSO, THEY CAN GET NOTIFICATIONS, THEY CAN CHANGE THE LANGUAGE, THEY CAN RATE THE APP. 
          UM, THERE'S, YOU KNOW, THE SOCIAL MEDIA HANDLES, ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE FULLY FUNCTIONING. 
          SO, UM, VERY ROBUST. 
          WHAT I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS IS PLAY IN THE APP AND GO AND SEE CLICK, YOU KNOW, CLICK SOME OF THE TECH, UM, SO THAT YOU CAN, UM, BRING IN THE AUGMENTED REALITY EXPERIENCES INTO YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

          THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE IN THE WORLD THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO HEAR THIS INTERVIEW. 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, SHE TELLS HER STORY AND IT'S RIGHT HERE. 
          IT'S CAPTURED IN THE APP. 
          AND THEN THE ENTIRE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE, IF YOU WERE IN THIS SECTION AND YOU CLICKED ON THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE, AS HUGE AS IT IS, SO YOU GOT YOU, I WOULD PROBABLY SAY STANDING, YOU KNOW, IN A, IN A LIVING ROOM OR SOMETHING, IT WOULD PUT THE ENTIRE OLD SCHOOLHOUSE IN YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

          THOSE THINGS HAVE BEEN CREATED. 
          UM, LITERALLY WE'RE, WE'RE READY TO, WE'RE READY TO ROCK AND ROLL.

          THAT'S NOT, THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO BE DEVELOPED. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO CONCLUDE BY SAYING IS EVERYTHING IS DEVELOPED AT THIS JUNCTURE IN TIME. 
          ALL THAT IS NEEDED, UM, NOW IS SWAPPING IN AND OUT, WHAT YOU SAY, YAY, TO WHICH YOU SAY NA TO OR WHAT COMES OUTTA THE FOCUS GROUP, BUT WE'RE READY TO DEPLOY TO THE PUBLIC. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT PRESENTATION, MR. JACKSON.

          THIS IS GREAT PRESENTATION. 
          THIS IS FABULOUS. 
          AND YOU ALL HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK. 
          I GOT LOST ON MY APP HERE WHILE YOU WERE TALKING, SO I MISSED SOME OF WHAT YOU SAID. 
          UM, BUT AS I UNDERSTAND IT, YOU'LL BE ADDING TO THIS CONSISTENTLY AS NEW THINGS COME ALONG. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          IS THAT RIGHT? OKAY. 
          IT, IT JUST, IT'S GREAT. 
          IT'S FABULOUS. 
          AND THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE WORK. 
          THIS IS, THIS IS A LOT OF WORK. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          YES, MA'AM. 
          THANK YOU. 
          YEAH, LET, LET ME KUDOS THAT. 
          UM, WE WILL NEED A FACILITATOR, MAYBE WITH AN S OR ADMINISTRATORS TO, TO BE CERTAIN THAT ALL OF THE, THE A THERE'S A, THERE'S A LOT OF ASSETS HERE. 
          UM, THE GULLAH TV IS, IS AWESOME. 
          I MEAN, WE, WE, WE HAVE A PLETHORA OF, OF, OF, OF OPPORTUNITIES IN FRONT OF US. 
          UM, SO THANK YOU FOR THE BUILD OUT OF, OF THIS NOT ONLY THE, THE APP, BUT ALSO, UH, THE WEBSITE 
          [01:10:01]
THAT'S BIRTHED BECAUSE OF THE APP. 
          UM, SO THANK YOU. 
          UM, THERE'S A LOT FOR US TO INGEST AND DIGEST, UH, BUT WE CERTAIN THAT, YOU KNOW, WE, WE'LL HAVE YOU, UH, ALONG THE WAY TO BE CERTAIN THAT, UH, WE ARE ON POINT AS WE MOVE FORWARD. 
          SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I'LL JUST KINDA ADD, UM, IN MY HISTORY, MY BACKGROUND, I'VE, I'VE, UH, BEEN IN MOBILE APPLICATION DESIGN, UH, FIRM IN THE PAST, AND, UH, YOU ARE AT THE, AT THE HEIGHT OF THE TECHNOLOGY. 
          UM, AND ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THE TV ASPECT IS BEING ABLE TO GO LIVE. 
          WE WERE TALKING ABOUT STORMS EARLIER. 
          YEP. 
          WHERE DO YOU GO TO GET YOUR INFORMATION? YOU GO TO YOUR TRUSTED SOURCE, AND THAT BECOMES THAT TRUSTED SOURCE FOR THE COMMUNITY, RIGHT? SO, REALLY AMAZING, REALLY AMAZING. 
          WE, UM, SORRY PASTOR, JUST AS AN ADD IN, IF YOU GUYS CAN STILL HEAR ME. 
          UM, I DIDN'T MENTION THIS, BUT THE, THE APP DOES SUPPORT PUSH NOTIFICATIONS. 
          SO ANYONE THAT HAS THE APP ON, UM, ON THEIR PHONE, UM, IF SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN, UH, YOU ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY TO JUST SEND A MESSAGE. 
          YOU CAN SEND IT IN SO YOU KNOW, IF A THOUSAND PEOPLE HAVE IT, 10,000 PEOPLE, YOU CAN SEND OUT A PUSH NOTIFICATION. 
          AND AGAIN, TO YOUR POINT, UM, YOU HAVE YOUR OWN LIVE CHANNEL. 
          SO IT IS JUST LIKE LINEAR TV, EXCUSE ME. 
          YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE YOUR OWN STATION. 
          SO SOMEONE, MR. BOXLEY COULD GO LIVE FROM HIS PHONE AND IT WOULD BE BROADCASTING LIVE THROUGH THE APP. 
          AND ANYBODY WHO RECEIVED THE PUSH NOTIFICATION, IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT COMMUNICATION LIKE YOU WERE EARLIER, UH, YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE THAT ALREADY BUILT INTO THIS EXPERIENCE. 
          I ALSO WANNA MAKE NOTICE THAT THERE, THERE'S A GENTLEMAN IN THE AUDIENCE, UM, MR. AL JENKINS, UH, IS THAT CORRECT, JENKINS? YES. 
          HE IS THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR SENATOR TIM SCOTT. 
          UM, SO HAVING YOU HERE AND BEING ABLE TO LISTEN TO THIS TODAY IS ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS. 
          SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. 
          THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. 
          LET, LET ME SAY ECHO THIS BECAUSE AS, AS A PASTOR, ONE OF THE UNDERTAKEN ENDEAVORS THAT OUR CHURCH IS DOING NOW IS, IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING. 
          WE, WE BUILDING OUT AN APP WITH PUSH NOTIFICATIONS, UM, AND, YOU KNOW, FEEDING INTO OUR WEBSITE, THIS HELPS, THIS, THIS MORE EXCITES ME ABOUT THE PROJECT WE HAVE HUNG ALONG IN OUR CHURCH, AND A LOT OF THE, UH, THE POINTS THAT YOU BROUGHT OUT, IT, IT, IT WILL HELP ME MOVING FORWARD. 
          THIS IS, THIS IS, THIS IS, UH, UH, A NEW AGE. 
          THIS, THIS, THIS WILL KEEP US RELEVANT. 
          WELL, WELL, I MEAN, WE WE'RE BUILDING OURSELVES NOT FOR, JUST FOR THE HERE AND NOW, BUT THE REACH, THE STRETCH IS WHAT WE'RE BUILDING OURSELVES FOR. 
          SO THANK YOU SO MUCH, . 
          UH, QUICK QUESTION. 
          I, AGAIN, I'M REALLY, REALLY IMPRESSED WITH, WITH THE PRESENTATION AND THE APP AND THE WEBSITE, AND I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S A PLAN FOR INTEGRATING, UM, A SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE, SUCH AS LIKE AN INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT? YES, YES. 
          EXCELLENT QUESTION. 
          SO WE HAVE, UM, A FULL PLAN, UM, ALREADY, UH, IN PLACE. 
          UH, THE SOCIAL MEDIA HANDLES, UH, HAVE ALREADY, UH, THOSE ASSETS HAVE ALREADY BEEN SECURED. 
          AND SO WE'LL BE RUNNING A CAMPAIGN WITH THE LEAD UP, UM, AGAIN, AND OBVIOUSLY THAT INTEGRATES INTO THE APP, BUT YES, MA'AM, THAT THAT IS, UH, THAT'S IN PLACE. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ANY OTHER COMMENTS? UH, MR. BROWN, UH, SOMEWHERE IN THE BIBLE, IT SAYS, ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD, RIGHT PASTOR? IT DOES. 
          I THINK ROMANS, ROMANS, LOOK AT YOU. 
          OH, LOOK AT THIS. 
          SOMEBODY IS LISTENING. 
          I'M GONNA STOP THERE. 
          HALLELU, HOL HALLELU, , UH, WE, UH, WE, WE HAD A PRESENTATION ON YESTERDAY FROM THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, UH, DESIGNATED MARKETING ORGANIZATION. 
          AND THERE WAS A LOT OF TALK AROUND, UM, YOU KNOW, THEM SORT OF SHIFTING THE WAY THAT THEY'RE REACHING PEOPLE, OKAY? AND THIS IS DEFINITELY IN LINES WITH THAT. 
          OKAY? UM, I REMEMBER ONE PORTION, THEY TALKED ABOUT INFLUENCES NOW HAVING INFLUENCE AS TO WHERE PEOPLE VISIT, OKAY? UM, AND NOT JUST PRETTY PICTURES AND WHATNOT. 
          SO AS WE TALK ABOUT THE, THE REACH AND WE TALK ABOUT PARTICULARLY THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THIS LIVE TV, UM, I, I THINK WE'RE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. 
          UM, AND, UM, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, I, I ALWAYS LIKE TO SORT OF BRING THINGS BACK TO CENTER. 
          UM, YES, WE ARE AVAILING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS TO UNDERSTAND OUR HISTORY, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE ARE AVAILING FOLKS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE THE BREATHING AND LIVING CULTURE, ALRIGHT? AND THAT'S THE PIECE THAT EXCITES ME, IS THAT WE WILL, WE WILL KEEP THIS GOING. 
          WE 
          [01:15:01]
WILL OFFER OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR CURRENT INFLUENCES BECAUSE WE HAVE 'EM WITHIN THE GULLAH COMMUNITY TO PRESENT THEMSELVES AND, AND, AND, UM, HOPEFULLY ATTRACT MORE FOLKS TO, TO WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS GREAT CULTURE. 
          'CAUSE MY MY MIND IS RACING. 
          WE CAN HAVE A GULLAH FOOD CHANNEL WITH COOKING CHANNEL AND DEMONSTRATIONS. 
          OH MY GOD. 
          OPPORTUNITIES ARE ENDLESS. 
          WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOOD NOW. 
          'CAUSE EVERYBODY UP HERE IS HUNGRY, , THE OPPORTUNITIES ARE, ARE LIMITLESS. 
          AND, AND TO YOUR POINT, WHAT, WHAT'S IN A NAME RIGHT? EXPERIENCE, GULLAH. 
          AND WE WERE VERY INTENTIONAL ABOUT THAT NAME. 
          SO, UH, WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THESE POSSIBILITIES. 
          AND I DID TAKE A BIT OF, UM, I'M GOING TO, UH, UM, MR. JACKSON, I'M GONNA ASK THAT YOU SHARE ONE LAST PIECE. 
          UM, UH, JUST A JUST A VERY BRIEF PREVIEW, UM, BECAUSE I DID TAKE, UM, SOME ADMINISTRATIVE LEEWAY, IF YOU REMEMBER, UM, INITIALLY WE TALKED ABOUT EIGHT STOPS. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO I TOOK SOME ADMINISTRATIVE LEEWAY AND DECIDED THAT WE WOULD CUT ONE OF THOSE STOPS IN LIEU OF WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SEE NOW. 
          NOW, THIS IS, WE TALKED ABOUT SETTING THE TA, SETTING THE TABLE, AND THE STAGE, UH, FOR FUTURE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. 
          WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE NOW IS, IS THE ACTUAL FORAY INTO THE FUTURE. 
          AND SO, UH, MR. JACKSON, GO AHEAD. 
          OKAY. 
          YEP, YEP. 
          UH, JUST, AND JUST TO CONFIRM, DO YOU WANT ME TO SHOW HIM THE, THE, THE SMALLER, UH, RETAIL STORE, OR DO YOU WANT THE BIGGER ONE? UH, LET'S DO THE SMALLER ONE. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          LET ME GET IT QUEUED UP. 
          I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE GONNA SHOW THAT. 
          THIS IS GREAT. 
          OH, RIGHT. 
          DIVISION, YES. 
          UM, AND JUST SO YOU GUYS KNOW, I HEARD IT SAID, UM, UM, BUT WHAT WE'VE DONE, AND I TOLD YOU THIS WHEN YOU GUYS GAVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE CONTRACT, UM, WE ALWAYS BUILD, UM, TOWARDS, TOWARDS THE FUTURE OF TECH. 
          UM, SO LIKE, WHAT WE ARE BUILDING IS FOR THE TECHNOLOGY THAT IS, UM, THAT IS AVAILABLE THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE HERE IN THE NEXT YEAR, TWO YEARS, RIGHT? SO WHAT YOU'RE, WHAT YOU'RE GETTING READY TO SEE THIS IS, UM, ACTUALLY WHAT WILL IMPACT THE NATION AS FAR AS EDUCATION. 
          EDUCATION IS MOVING THIS WAY, AND MANY PEOPLE ARE MOVING THIS WAY, UM, IN 2026 AND 2027. 
          AND SO, UM, LET ME SHARE MY WINDOW WITH YOU AND LET'S SEE. 
          ALL RIGHT, SO DO YOU SEE MY, UM, YES, IT'S, IT'S ON SCREEN. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          HOLD ON. 
          IT'S NOT ON MY SCREEN, SO I GOTTA SEE IF I CAN, IT LET ME GET TO, IS IT MY CHARACTER? UM, I SEE YOUR CHARACTER. 
          YES. 
          UH, ALRIGHT, HERE WE GO. 
          HERE WE GO. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          YOU SEE ME MOVING? OKAY, HERE WE GO. 
          SO THIS IS, UM, THE NEW DIGITAL FUTURE FOR HOW INTERACTION WILL HAPPEN. 
          AND SO RIGHT NOW WHERE YOU SEE WE'RE DOING, UM, WE'RE STILL AT THE TIP OF THE SPHERE WITH WHAT WE'RE, HOW WE'RE MOVING WITH THE TECHNOLOGY, WITH AUGMENTED REALITY. 
          BUT THE, THE PHASES GO FROM WE'RE BUILDING THE, WE'RE BUILDING THE DIGITAL BRAND WITH THE IMAGERY, WITH THE WEBSITE, WITH THE APP, THEN WE'RE BUILDING OUT THE ANIMATION, OR WE'RE BUILDING OUT THE MODELING OF, YOU KNOW, THIS DIGITAL CONTENT, THE USING AUGMENTED REALITY, USING THE TECH TO BRING DIGITAL CONTENT. 
          BUT THE FUTURE, THE FUTURE BECOMES FULL IMMERSION, MEANING THAT WHETHER I'M ON A COMPUTER, A PHONE, IN A VR HEADSET, UM, I'LL BE ABLE TO COME IN AND THIS WILL BE A GULLAH STORE, AND I'LL BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, EVEN FOR THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS, BUT IMAGINE IF I WAS IN THE VR HEADSET OR I WAS EVEN USING SMART GLASSES. 
          I'LL BE ABLE TO DO DIGITAL SHOPPING. 
          I'LL BE ABLE TO DO THIS FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. 
          IT WON'T MATTER IF I'M, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE I'M AT IN THE WORLD. 
          I'LL BE ABLE TO COME, I'LL BE ABLE TO SHOP, I'LL BE ABLE TO INTERACT, I'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE OTHER PEOPLE, UM, IN THIS SPACE. 
          UM, YOU CAN, EVERYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO IN ZOOM AND THAT YOU DO IN ALL THESE OTHER VENUES, YOU CAN DO IN THIS METAVERSE TYPE ENVIRONMENT. 
          THIS IS CALLED XR TECHNOLOGY, WHICH IS EXTENDED REALITY. 
          AND SO, UH, WHAT MR. BOXY, YOU KNOW, PRESENTED FROM AN E-COMMERCE PERSPECTIVE, FROM A BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE IS BEING ABLE TO, UH, HAVE THE GULLAH EXPERIENCE AT A GLOBAL LEVEL. 
          AND IMAGINE A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, NO, NO MATTER WHAT DEVICE THEY HAVE, IF THEIR DEVICE IS FIVE YEARS OLD AND IT'S A CHROMEBOOK TO WHETHER THEY JUST GOT THE NEW IPHONE 17 PRO OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, NEW ANDROID DEVICE CAME OUT, UM, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO GO INTO AN ENVIRONMENT, THEY'LL, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO INTERACT, UH, WITH BUSINESS OWNERS. 
          THEY'LL GET TO INTERACT WITH THEIR PRODUCT. 
          AND SO NOW IT TAKES THAT LOCAL GULL OF BUSINESS AND IT MAKES THEM GLOBAL. 
          IT MAKES THEIR PRODUCTS GLOBAL, UM, ALLOWS 'EM TO CONDUCT BUSINESS ON A GLOBAL SCALE. 
          IT CREATES A FULL IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE. 
          UM, IT SUPPORTS WHAT'S CALLED SPATIAL AUDIO. 
          SO LIKE, IF WE WEREN'T ON THIS, UH, THIS TEAMS CALL, WE, AND WE 
          [01:20:01]
WERE ALL JUST IN THIS SPACE, WE COULD TALK TO EACH OTHER AND WE WOULD HEAR EACH OTHER. 
          AND IF YOU'RE STANDING NEXT TO ME, WE WOULDN'T HEAR THE CONVERSATION OF A PERSON WHO WAS STANDING AT THE DOOR. 
          BUT, UM, THIS HAS ALL BEEN BUILT IN HERE AS WELL. 
          SO THIS IS THE FUTURE. 
          THE FUTURE. 
          OH BOY. 
          SO I THINK WE JUST KIND OF BLEW EVERYBODY OUT. 
          UM, UM, YOU SHOULD SEE SOME OF THE LOOKS IN THE ROOM. 
          BUT, UM, THIS WAS SOMETHING FOR ME THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, KNOWING THE CAPACITY AND THE CAPABILITY OF THE TEAM THAT WE HAVE AS, AS, AS A PARTNER IN THIS, UM, THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME TO PUT ON THE TABLE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION, AS WELL AS TO LOOK AT WAYS TO EXPAND THE PRESENCE OF OUR PR OF OUR CURRENT BUSINESSES. 
          AND SO IF YOU WOULD IMAGINE, UM, SHOP OWNER, A PARTNERS WITH US, UM, THEY CAN HAVE A SPACE IN THE DIGITAL VIRTUAL WORLD TO MARKET THEIR GOODS AND SERVICES AND, AND, UM, HAVE THEM AVAILABLE GLOBALLY. 
          SO I'LL PUT A PEN RIGHT THERE AND OPEN IT UP FOR FURTHER QUESTIONS. 
          , THIS IS, UM, KUDOS. 
          ONCE AGAIN, I, BECAUSE OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, WHEN YOU SHOWED UP FOR THE INTERVIEW AND YOU WERE WEARING THAT BOW TIE , I KNEW THAT YOU WERE THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB, AND YOU HAVE NOT FAILED ME YET. 
          UH, THIS IS GONNA TAKE US PLACES THAT WE HAVE NEVER BEEN BEFORE. 
          SO I'M NOT, I LIKE THIS. 
          UM, THIS IS A LOT. 
          LIKE I SAID, THIS, THIS PRESENTATION IS MIND BLOWING. 
          THIS HAS DROP THE MIC MOMENT, SO THANK YOU. 
          UM, I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE, UM, WHAT GAVE ME A HUGE AMOUNT OF PRIDE WHEN I FIRST CAME TO HILTON HEAD WAS THAT SEA PINES WAS DOING THINGS THAT OTHER RESORT DEVELOPERS WERE NOT DOING. 
          WE WERE INNOVATING. 
          AND SO I, I JUMPED TO THIS PRESENTATION AND SAY, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE CDC IS INNOVATING AND BE RECOGNIZED AS INNOVATING. 
          SO CONGRATULATIONS TO HALMAN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND THANK YOU TO THE TEAM BECAUSE AGAIN, THIS, THIS DOES NOT EXIST. 
          LIKE WE ARE THE FIRST ON, ON AT THIS LEVEL, UM, FOR A COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO BE THINKING IN TERMS OF FUTURE, UM, THE FUTURE OF COMMERCE. 
          AND SO, UM, THANK YOU ALL FOR, UM, YOU KNOW, THE LATITUDE TO MOVE IN THIS DIRECTION.

          I AM HOME, THIS IS MY BIRTHPLACE. 
          I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING HIM FOR ALL OF MY LIFE, IF I BELIEVE. 
          BUT MY MOM IS THE PAINT ME, AND WE SPELLED WITH THE C. 
          SO IT HAS TAKEN ME OVER 40 YEARS TO FIND MY GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER, MORRIS PINKNEY, WITHOUT A C IN HIS NAME. 
          SO I'M HAPPY TO BE WORKING WITH YOU, BUT I'M SO APPRECIATIVE OF THE PRESENTATION. 
          UM, SO I HAVE A PERSONAL SIDE HERE TOO, BUT ALSO, AND YOU MENTIONED, UM, US COLOR TROOPS, THE GRAVES, UM, THE ANCESTRY, WE EACH ONE OF THOSE SOLDIERS, IF YOU FIND, 
          [01:30:01]
IF THESE FAMILIES FIND THAT THEY ARE, HAVE A DESCENDANT FROM, UH, US COLOR TROOP, IF THEY KNOW WHERE THEY'RE BURIED AND THEY HAVE THE RECORDS, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT STILL WILL PROVIDE A FREE HEADSTONE FOR THOSE SOLDIERS. 
          THEY DESERVE THAT. 
          ALSO THERE, I HOPE YOU TOUCH ON, UH, HEIRS PROPERTY. 
          WE HAVE A HEIRS PROPERTY PRESERVATION CENTER IN NORTH CHARLESTON THAT COVERS, UM, UH, I THINK THAT ABOUT EIGHT COUNTIES FOR THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA TRYING TO HELP THESE FAMILIES STILL PRESERVE OR WORK THROUGH A DIVISION IF THAT'S WHAT THEY DESIRE AS, AS LESS COST AS POSSIBLE. 
          UM, DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE, AND THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION WAS READ ON THIS ISLAND? I, I THINK ANYBODY KNOW WHERE OR WHAT TREE THAT POSSIBLY WAS LOCATED? ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          YEAH, THANK YOU JAKE, FOR BEING HERE. 
          BEFORE YOU GO, UM, I KNOW MR. AMES SAID, WELL, FORMER COUNCILMAN AMES SAID HE WANTED TO TALK TO YOU OFFLINE, BUT JUST, JUST A, UH, A COUPLE OF POINTS. 
          UM, I APPRECIATE YOUR STORY BECAUSE, UH, SO OFTEN, UH, WE, WE FIND THAT, THAT PEOPLE OF COLOR HAVE A DIRECT CONNECTION BACK TO THIS GULLAH GEECHEE CORRIDOR. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE COUNTRY. 
          IF YOU, IF YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK, YOU PROBABLY COME BACK IN THIS AREA. 
          YES.

          UM, BUT THE GALA, GEECHEE CORRIDOR, UM, YOU KNOW, FOLKS LIKE MR. BARNWELL AND OTHERS WERE SO INFLUENTIAL IN MAKING SURE THAT THEY STOOD UP THAT CORRIDOR AND, UM, YOU KNOW, HILTON HEAD IS BLESSED TO BE RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF IT. 
          YES. 
          IT'S RIGHT. 
          YES. 
          IT'S, AND HILTON HEAD IS ALSO BLESSED WITH THE HOME OF MITCHELLVILLE AND BLESSED WITH THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY FOR CULTURAL TOURISM. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SO, YOU KNOW, I SAY THIS A LOT, YOU KNOW, TOO OFTEN WE WANT TO PUT OUR CULTURE IN A MUSEUM IN A JAR, BUT IT'S LIVING AND BREATHING. 
          AND THE ONLY WAY THAT WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE THAT IS THROUGH ECONOMICS. 
          YES, SIR. 
          AND I KNOW THAT SENATOR TIM SCOTT IS BIG ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. 
          OKAY.

          OKAY.

          WHICH IS, WHICH IS GREAT FOR FOLKS THAT GOT A LOT OF CAPITAL GAINS THAT THEY WANNA SPEND. 
          UH, TYPICALLY GULLAH FOLKS ARE PROPERTY RICH AND CASH POOR. 
          SO I'M JUST MENTIONING ALL OF THIS AS WE HAVE CONNECTIONS BACK TO THIS BEAUTIFUL PLACE AND CONNECTIONS TO OPPORTUNITY ECONOMICALLY THAT THE GREAT SENATOR WILL START TO THINK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW WE CAN DO SOME GRASSROOTS SO WE CAN GET PEOPLE TO ANOTHER LEVEL.

          THANKS FOR WATCHING BCT VI AM EM CAMPBELL. 
          AND THIS IS YOUR BEAUFORD COUNTY MOMENT. 
          THE MARSH TACKY IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ASSETS IN THE GULLAH CULTURE. 
          THE MARSH TACKY WAS USED FOR PLOWING, FOR CARRYING PEOPLE TO CHURCH, AS WELL AS TO PULL WAGONS. 
          IT'S A BREED OF HORSE THAT WAS LEFT BY THE SPANISH IN THE 15 HUNDREDS AND SINCE THAT TIME IT HAS BEEN INBRED. 
          MARSH TACKY HAS A NARROW CHEST AND SLENDER LEGS, BUT IT'S VERY TOUGH HORSE. 
          AND BEFORE MODERN DEVELOPMENT, EVERY FAMILY HAD AT LEAST ONE MARSH TACKY. 
          IT WAS LIKE A CAR OR A TRUCK TODAY. 
          AND SO WE HAVE ALWAYS ADMIRED THE MOSH TACKY. 
          IT IS ALSO ONE OF THE ENTERTAINERS OF THE AREA BECAUSE WE HAD RACES WITH MOSH TACKY AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR. 
          TODAY, THE TACKY HAS BEEN PRESERVED BY CERTAIN PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY, THROUGHOUT THE LOW COUNTRY AREA. 
          THIS IS EMERY CAMPBELL AND THAT HAS BEEN YOUR BEAUFORT COUNTY MOMENTS.
