The Heritage is Tradition

As an Islander the Heritage is about an Island, it’s a celebration of spring, it is azaleas blooming, suntans, happy people and living in the Low Country.  It has become bigger than a great PGA golf tournament at the Harbour Town Golf Links.  The tournament has given everyone of us something to be proud of, something to be grateful for, something to share and celebrate and it belongs here on Hilton Head Island.

Here is a great formula that helps your local community stay local and it is not too difficult.  When was the last time you visited a local studio, attended a gallery hop or spent $50 in a local market or shop.  These shops are the backbone to our tourism industry.  So attend the gallery hop or this weekend enjoy the local shops.  You will make a difference.

Have you heard about the 3/50 Project? 

An amazingly easy formula designed to save the brick and mortar our nation is built on.
 
Here’s how it works:

3:

Pick three locally-owned businesses you’d hate to see disappear, and visit them. Pick up a little something that makes you happy.  You are keeping the shop in business today.

50:

Commit $50 each month to supporting locally-owned businesses, shops or restaurants.  If half of the employed in the US would do that, we’d generate more than $42 billion each year for our local entrepreneurs.

68:

With each $100 we spend in locally-owned businesses, $68 stays within our community.  Big box stores? Only $43.  Internet shopping?  You guessed it… nada. 

It’s that simple.
