The second annual Hands Across the Sand

Posted: Updated:

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - People all over the world will gather to join hands in the second annual Hands Across the Sand on June 25 to take a stand against expanded offshore oil drilling and support for clean energy solutions for our planet.

Supporters from Myrtle Beach will gather at 11 a.m. at Plyler Park on the end of Mr. Joe White Avenue on the oceanfront. Everyone will join hands silently on the beach for 15 minutes. Parking will be available at Pavilion parking garage.

Local event organizer Mary Max Neely said, "We will hold hands in support of clean air, water and energy. The oil companies have reserves. Once again, we are drawing a line in the sand against drilling along America's beaches across the nation and around the world.  Our coastlines, marine life and tourism industry are too big of a risk to take."

For more information about the Myrtle Beach event, contact Mary Max Neely at 843-283-9490,  maxie@sccoast.net  or www.handsacrossthesand.org.
