Ad Hoc Committee
Why Your Family Needs A Home Computer
Factories and plants are closing and moving overseas. The cost of fuel, food and other essential items is rising. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to find a job or a second job to help with expenses. The Internet is rapidly becoming the means by which families can access money saving services, educational resources, earn additional income and lower family expenses to meet these new economic challenges.
Ad Hoc is a Latin phrase that means “for this purpose”. For this purpose we have organized ourselves to help school-age children acquire home computer systems to access Internet-based educational resources; to help our families and every family in our community economically by providing the means by which any participating family can increase their income from $100.00 to $500.00 a month, save $100.00 a month or more or a combination of both.
In order to take advantage of these Internet-based resources, you must have your own home computer and printer.
Arrangements have been made with a leading manufacturer that will allow you to purchase an Internet-ready computer complete with monitor, printer and software direct from the manufacturer. The following number is a direct line to Mr. Murray. He will handle your purchase personally or a member of his team. The money you save from using our grocery service alone will pay for it and unlimited Internet access.

Update: March 20-31, 2008
During this time period, George Sistrunk established a relationship with a leading computer manufacturer to address the issue of obtaining enough Internet ready computers for participants. Several participants in the original ten committee members were replaced because of a variety of different personal reasons.
The new additions to Bayne Street are:
Reginald Jennings
Nikia Purnell
Saundra Robertson
Linda Kaartinen
Replacing Otis Harrison, Ken McClellan, Dorothy Waymer-Synder and Alpha Josie. Otis Harrison will still work closely with the committee as obligations permit.
On Thursday March 27, 2008, George Sistrunk and Reginald Jennings did a test market of 200 homes in the Heritage Subdivision to determine response ratios and how many homes in that particular area had computers.
Update: April 1-15, 2008
The results from the initial test market were dismal. This is what we discovered after a follow up evaluation.
1. Out of 200 homes, none had home computer systems.
2. Credit worthiness is a major issue.
3. The vast majority can not connect intellectually; how having a computer will benefit them.
New strategies were needed and a revised flyer that dealt with the need to have a home computer system. George Sistrunk completed these objectives and the revised flyer was posted on the blog on Sunday April 13, 2008 along with the blog updates. A meeting was called and will be held at 423 Bayne Street on Monday night, April 14, 2008, at 7:30 p.m. to discuss the following:
1. How to get local finance companies involved.
2. How to get local churches, schools and other non profits involved.
3. How to get well known celebrities involved.
4. What needs to be done to get 500 computer systems into local homes within 30 days to establish momentum.
