How?

Organize a group of members who have computer skills and knowledge. A possible name could be “The Mount Zion Computer Education and Awareness Guild.” (Technology Ministry). We can offer hands-on computer instruction. We need members who are willing to devote time on a regular scheduled basis to help others learn and practice new software programs geared towards job opportunities or job promotions. We can offer help at the beginner’s level: * ABC’s of computer use. * How to logon and off, load software and understand the layout of your computer screen. * Familiarize people with shortcuts, pitfalls, viruses, creating and naming files. * Using the Internet in areas such as research, fun, E-mail and Web pages.

Let this be our slogan: People want to learn Will you help? Where can they turn? Anyone interested in volunteering? People want to know Where can they go? People want to improve Who can show them? People want to be educated What does that take? We are seeking answers

BlogTalkRadio.com Black_plight_in-america

"There is so much propaganda convincing the easily persuaded and intelligently challenged black professionals and laymen alike that we cannot unite or network to help each other raise the entire culture up and out of the gutters of America. One such example is the bashing of Multi-Level Marketing by said blacks when it is one of the many viable ways and means to economic independence as a group. Everyone does well if executed "faithfully." Having come from roots based in the black church Faith is something we have genetically coded into us, right? Watch and see how many of us support or even listen to my radio show? The blueprint has been created and the road-map looms before each of us. many have the keys in their pockets and do not know it. I refuse to selfishly leave my bruthas and sistahs behind!!!

Community InvolvementSound Transit Bid Process206-398-5000401 S. Jackson STSeattle, WA

Har-V Promotions, Inc. will go through the bid process and get qualified.This will get me added to the Sound Transit database.

We will offer assistance to Black small businesses with the qualifying and bidding.We feel that many small businesses may not believe they can qualify and over look a good source of income.The process is quite demanding and has to be completed correctly. We will take all of the mystery out of the process and encourage more businesses to apply.Even though they may not be qualified for some of the larger bids, we can show them how to become a sub-contractor on the larger bids.The database will contact everyone and we will be able to notify other small businesses that have not qualified.

Abstract

Before we apply for grants, we should develop a model center and demonstrate its success.I know that Seattle Surplus will provide used computers and may have printers. They require some maintenance.I have a contact that works at The Boeing Co in Everett, WA that says she can get us access to Boeing Surplus.Her son lives next door to a Microsoft executive and can assist with software donations.I’m sure we can find qualified instructors for several of the classes.If we present this to the congregation we may get donations:
