Citizens for a Better Grand Bay (CBGB) in Grand Bay, AL is a non-profit organization that opened the Gulf Coast town's first and only technology center and computer lab at the Grand Bay Senior & Community Center in 2011. Board member Kimon Brown and volunteer tech Aleta "Ham" Boudreaux provide job training, literacy classes, resume writing, word processing, Internet and job-search courses, and other educational opportunities to senior citizens. All was made possible with a grant from BP, as part of its long-term commitment to the Gulf Coast after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010.
