The Gulf Coast Connection is basically a way for teens displaced by Hurricane Katrina or Hurricane Rita to connect with their friends. It's very simple:
Each person who wants to be found or to find others can send an email to
gulfcoastconnect@gmail.com. The email should include:
1. Your name2. The city that you lived in before Katrina hit3. The school that you attendedIf you like, you can send a picture in the email so that others can identify you more readily. This, however, is optional, as many would (for obvious reasons) not like to have their photo plastered across the World Wide Web.
It
is mandatory that an alternate email address be included
if you do not want to be emailed at the account by which you contacted us. Otherwise, there is no way for your friends to contact you!
Please limit personal profiles to 200 words or less. No one enjoys sifting through miles and miles of information! Emails not in compliance with this limitation will be drastically edited. Another thing that will cause us to edit profiles is profanity or inappropriate content. As a fundamentally Christian group, you can rest assured that we will
not post any sexually oriented or otherwise crude/lewd information.
Also, please put your most identifying information at the beginning of your profile so that it will show up on the
Google search engine we use. This way, multiple entries with the same name can be easily separated out.
We reserve the right to control all aspects of this website.
Thank you so much. God bless you, and God bless the thousands who are actively involved in the Katrina relief effort.
In Him,
