Why Every Local Organization Needs Their Own Proactive And Interactive Website

Update

November 10, 2008 - December 1, 2008

Local organizations; including churches, that have a membership base should have a proactive and interactive website.

The vast majority of websites that are currently online are inadequate for "21st Century" community needs and reality. Many local clubs, organized groups and churches do not even have a website. The following are just a few of the reasons why having a more proactive and interactive website is beneficial:

1. Increased productivity - Important messages can be posted, rather than typed and distributed.
2. Improved accessibility to leaders, administrators and/or staff - Message services and boards can be easily added to any site. Forms and documents can also be completed online; rather than in person.
3. Lower operating expenses - More meetings can be done online as well, thus lowering the cost of utility services and fuel.
4. Lower expenses mean a greater savings to members as a unit -These additional savings should encourage members to increase donations and contributions.
5. Improved operational efficiency - Bulletins, schedules, communications and forms can also be posted online and downloaded.
6. Members can shop locally, nationally or internationally and compare quality or prices , thus reducing the cost of fuel and maintenance on vehicles.
7. If dotws is used instead of dotcoms, increased revenues for community programs and sponsored activities.
8. The more individuals and families can do online, the more money and fuel individuals and families can save.

How To Order Complete Computer Systems For Individuals, Families Or Groups

The number below is a direct line to Mr. Murray. He will handle these purchases personally or a member of his team. In order to insure low cost factory direct prices, you must ask for the Bayne Street Computer Special.

Call: 1-800-846-2042 Ext 23781
9 am - 6 pm - Monday thru Friday
After Hours: 1-585-406-2746

Mr. Murray and his staff can not answer your questions about Bayne Street. To find out more about The Bayne Project, contact us directly or read our blogs.

Paying For Computers And Continued Online Access

We have also solved the problem of paying for computers and staying online. The money saved in the Bayne Street Project's grocery service alone will pay for the computer, continued Internet access, essential household items, fuel for the car, van or truck and pay bills. If there are families or individuals that you know of in your community with online computers that need to save more money or increase their income, send them to the Bayne Street Project at:


Examine our services and programs for yourself for authenticity, accuracy and legitimacy. If you are satisfied this is a start, have them find my name (George Sistrunk) and join all the programs. All programs are free to join. You can even join yourself, setup your own blog or website and organize your community, neighborhood, friends, family, co-workers, congregation (If a church), members (if an organization) or other groups or clubs to work with you.

Even though the online programs and opportunities we have investigated, researched and represent will explain themselves, someone from "The Bayne Street Project" will be there to assist them and answer any additional questions they or you might have.

The bigger this network becomes, the more reliable services and programs we can bring on board and the more revenue will circulate within our communities. This will allow more families to effectively cope with the rising cost of living. Interested individuals can also call me at:

1-803-534-6727
9:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. - Monday - Saturday
Ask for George Sistrunk if I do not answer the phone personally.
If this telephone line is busy, call our 24/7 answering service..
1-800-331-1274 Extension 39125

All anyone has to do is leave his/her name, telephone number and the best time to contact him/her. Someone from Bayne Street will call you back as soon as possible. If you establish your own project, have them call you or someone you designate for this purpose. Thank you for reading... Naturally, any computer/s you purchase and donate to a church or any non profit community based program organization is tax deductible.

Why Every Family Or Individual Needs His/Her Own Home Computer And Internet Access

Update

October 17, 2008 - November 9, 2008

In order to take advantage of Bayne Street's programs or any Internet-based resource, program, information or service, individuals and families must have their own home computer, a printer and Internet access.

Our services and programs are packaged together for a reason. Each service or income program supports the other; thus making it possible to increase savings or maximize potential income. By encouraging adults, young adults and especially families with school-age children to engage in and pursue legitimate and beneficial activities on the Internet, we can begin the process of developing beneficial or more productive mind-sets that can impact and change an individual's or group's precepts and concepts.

Among the most important mind-sets are self help, personal initiative, higher community standards, personal responsibility, YHVH (GOD) consciousness, respect for others, legal authorities and educational institutions, and self discipline. Our collective history; as a nation, has already proven government sponsored programs have more liabilities than benefits. Plus, more government sponsored programs mean higher taxation.

More taxes increase financial burdens on families that are already struggling with declining discretionary income. Working minority families have been behind the proverbial "8 ball" for hundreds of years. Using advanced, in-home, computer technology can move many of these families out in front of it for the first time in modern world history. Having an online home computer system with a printer to distribute information or to print documents, puts the power of advanced technology in every home.

Acquiring Home Computer Systems For Adults And Families In Your Community

As stated previously, the rising cost of living is depleting available financial resources for many families. In addition, Bayne Street's field testing has revealed many families across America also have credit related problems. Therefore, whatever in-home computer system an individual or family can use beneficially becomes a problematic acquisition issue.

The Bayne Street Project has taken the first major step to empower individuals and families. It is now possible for any and every family to be empowered with advanced in-home computer technology. Any person can purchase a highly advanced, Internet- ready, home computer system, direct from the manufacturer at the lowest possible price. We even have a national lender for all 50 states.

Even these efforts are not enough. Consequently, we are also contacting churches, entertainers, clubs, associations, civic organizations, business groups, professional athletes, authors, radio and television personalities, celebrities and foundations to help purchase computers for families that need them. However, non profit community based groups and churches must contact these individuals and organizations that have the financial means to purchase computers. By doing so, more individuals and families that need them, can acquire them and use them.

Anyone can help in this massive project by encouraging relatives, families and people he/she knows with school-age children to acquire a complete home computer system, either locally or online. Individuals and families can also purchase an advanced computer system at factory direct prices from the manufacturer we have contacted for this specific purpose. If purchased from the manufacturer, online and telephone assisted training and support services are available for first-time users.

That's why it is important to encourage first-time users and others to go online. You can also encourage intelligent, influential and concerned others in your commuity to do the same by making it possible for credit challenged families to acquire low cost; affordable, but, highly advanced computer systems. Individuals or families with good credit or cash money can acquire their own. Entire communities, towns and cities can organize themselves for this purpose.

Local Business Flyer

Bayne Street's Business Flyer


The Bayne Street Project
Ad Hoc Committee



Why Every Employee Needs A Home Computer
& Unlimited Internet Access

The cost of fuel, food and other essential items will continue to rise. The Internet is a viable alternative that will help you and your employees save money. Your employees do not have to struggle to make ends meet. In addition, moving all your employees into the "Information Age" will allow your business to operate more efficiently and cost effectively. Work schedule changes can be posted online. Employees will have 24/7 access to information bulletins and a convenient method to contact the company in the event of family emergencies, illness or transportation problems.

Employees can be updated in real time when it comes to company programs and activities. Finally, by taking advantage of Bayne Street's programs and services, you can give all your empolyees a raise at absolutely no cost to you.

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. The Internet is rapidly becoming the means by which families can access money saving services, educational resources and lower expenses.

In order to take advantage of these Internet-based resources, your employees must have their 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.

Church Flyer

Bayne Street's Church Flyer


The Bayne Street Project
Ad Hoc Committee



Why Every Church Member 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 church members can access money saving services, educational resources, earn additional income and lower family expenses to meet these new economic challenges. These are advantages church members need.

In addition, moving all church members into the "Information Age" will allow your church to operate more efficiently and cost effectively. Bible study can be conducted online, as well as church business meetings and group discussions. Members will have 24/7 access to church leaders and information bulletins. Members can be updated in real time when it comes to church sponsored programs and community activities. Finally, tithes and offerings can be donated much more conveniently and easier online .

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.

Update: April 16-30, 2008

The meeting scheduled for Monday night at 7:30 p.m., April 14, 2008 has been rescheduled for a later date to be announced. During the interim, Madame Chair agreed to diversify our community activities to include churches, clubs, organizations, non profits, schools, businesses and professionals. George Sistrunk will develop the necessary fliers and post them on the blog so any Ad Hoc Committee can use them.

The entire Bayne Street Project operational base in the Fairground subdivision in Orangeburg has been completed, except Sprinkle Avenue. 287 families in this area have been given Bayne Street flyers. 80% of the Heritage Subdivision has been completed. 300 families have been given Bayne Street flyers. In addition; 128 churches across America have been contacted and 250 families in Brentwood, North Brentwood and Williams Plaza Subdivisions have been exposed to Bayne Street programs.

Activity Analysis

Contacting African-American churches via the Internet has proven to be a major problem. The reason: The overwhelming majority do not have functional websites. The vast majority of email addresses and contact information have proven to be bogus or outdated. An unexpected large number of churches have not updated their web pages in 1 or 2 years.

The response from our operational base has also been disappointing when it comes to actual computers ordered. This is significant because, individuals and families can not take advantage of Bayne Street programs without computers. For May and the remainder of 2008, The Project will move out of poverty pockets in the Orangeburg area into the mainstream.

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.

Bayne Street Community Operations

Meeting Update

Wednesday, March 19, 2008

At approximately, 11:45 a.m., George Sistrunk called Madame Chair to inform her that all the Bayne Street Blogs were complete.

During the conversation it was discussed and agreed that all the social and business networking sites Madame Chair had investigated would be added to one of the blog pages under "Online Social Networks Of Interest". Some of these online networks are of particular interest because they may fall within Bayne Street's guidelines.

It was also agreed to emphasize the need to have a printer connected to the computer during our telephone conversations with project inquiries. Since many Dell laptop computers need special adapters, this is important, because the coupon service requires participants to download and print their own grocery coupons.

In an earlier meeting, Edward C. Grahman and Otis Harrison stated this issue of complete computer systems, availability and access to and/or ownership of complete computer systems with the correct software package is essential to Bayne Street's growth.

Since Orangeburg does not have that many people that are computer literate, it will be necessary to develop a program concept that will effectively address this issue; not only in Orangeburg, but in other communities as well.

Since the vast majority of people coming into Bayne Street will not need sophisticated computer systems, George Sistrunk recommended going to Orangeburg Business Machines to examine their available inventory of pre-owned systems with at least 900 Megahertz clock speed, a 10 Gigabyte hard drive and Internet ready.

However, the Committee is aware that even their available inventory might not be enough to meet our needs. Since OBM builds all Independent Marketing Group's computer systems, they would be a good place to start. During the interim, other avenues will be explored.

Bayne Street Community Operations

Late Monday evening, March 17, 2008, Dorothy Harley from YEP Enterprises, suggested we define Ad Hoc on the flyer. She reasoned, there are a lot of people in Orangeburg that are not college graduates and seeing Ad Hoc might create unnecessary confusion. This suggestion was adopted and presented to Madame Chair.

Madame Chair agreed and another language change and addition altered the flyer again.

Tuesday, March 18, 2008

At approximately 8:45 a.m. a called was placed to Sir Speedy Printing to determine the cost of 100 flyers on gold paper. The cost is $11.00 plus tax. This information was relayed to Madame Chair (Lorraine Primrose). She accepted the price as reasonable and authorized actual field operations to begin on Monday, March 24, 2008, with 1,000 flyers. Each Committee member will purchase his/her own flyers and the entire Committee will help distribute them throughout Orangeburg.

During the interim period, we will formalize telephone responses and take the leadership in all programs so each Committee member will have working knowledge and experience with all Bayne Street programs. In addition, Madame Chair will continue researching the Internet for additional programs and opportunities that comply with the following Bayne Street guidelines.

1. Income opportunities must be free to join and benefit the participant individually. Recruiting and/or sponsoring is not necessary to earn income.
2. Money saving programs must be free to join and benefit the participant without recruiting and/or sponsoring others. This must be optional.
3. All money saving programs and/or income opportunities must benefit the vast majority; rather than a small group or niche market.
4. Earnings and/or savings must be realized in a relatively short period of time, even though payout requirements might take longer.
5. No Internet junk programs. (Offers products and/or services of little or no value).
6. No modified Ponzi Schemes where spots are purchased in legs or chains.
7. All income programs must have a verifiable and beneficial product or service.
8. No income or survey programs that rely on the purchase of products to earn income.
9. No income or savings programs based on points or use points instead of cash.

Bayne Street Community Operations

The Bayne Street Project has now entered actual field or community operations. Blog entries will be weekly or daily depending on what is actually happening in the community. Orangeburg is a small town. Therefore, our starting and operational cost will be lower than a group organizing in a major city.

Plus, we may not have as many people connected to the Internet as you might have in New York City or Paris, France. More people already online in large cities gives Ad Hoc Committes in those areas an advantage we don't have in Orangeburg, South Carolina.

Nevertheless, there will be challenges to overcome regardless of where your Committee is located. These blogs were established to show anyone how to organize his/her neighborhood so that he/she can help himself/herself; as well as, help his/her friends and neighbors meet the rising cost of living by taking advantage of programs and/or opportunities that will help all participants.


Meeting Updates

March 16, 2008

On March 16, 2008, Otis Harrison, Edward C. Graham and George Sistrunk met at the Huddle House restaurant on Calhoun Drive in Orangeburg, South Carolina to discuss operational logistics and ways to successfully implement and improve the Bayne Street Project. It was acknowledged that all of us owe a debt of gratitude to Lorraine Primrose for coming up with this idea.

Otis Harrison suggested the flyers be community specific. That is, each flyer would target specific areas of Orangeburg based on a street or well known landmark. For example, his flyers would have Downtown Orangeburg, rather than Bayne Street. This idea was adopted and would be presented to Madame Chair for approval.

Otis Harrison also suggested removing Business Development and replacing it with Neighbor Helping Neighbor. He reasoned that this would remove any commercial orientation, make the project more community oriented; plus, (according to Otis Harrision) this would best identify what we are actually doing in our neighborhoods and the Orangeburg community at large. This idea was also adopted and would be presented to Madame Chair for approval.

Edward C. Graham suggested that we focus on the importance of being connected to the Internet, rather than just having a computer or access to a computer. His reason: Many people might have computers that are not Internet ready; while others might have computers that are not connected to the Internet at all. These language changes were adopted and would be presented to Madame Chair for approval.

Edward C. Graham also suggested putting each person's name and phone number on the flyers as a contact person, especially if a committee member actually lives in the neighborhood. This idea was adopted and would be presented to Madame Chair for approval.

Otis Harrison suggested putting a definite time period to call, so Madame Chair could schedule her day accordingly. Members whose phone numbers would be on their flyers would also have a definite time period to be ready for and handle calls. This idea was adopted and would be presented to Madame Chair for approval.

George Sistrunk suggested completing all the links and giving each person that has his/her links completed the responsibility of getting links from the others and giving the links to him so he can put them on the signup blog. Blog link generators do not open links in new windows.

Therefore, he had to insert the code for that manually and it is time consuming for each individual link. He suggested putting everything in at once, then all he would have to do is go back and insert individual IDs, rather than insert individual IDs and the code. This idea was adopted and would be presented to Madame Chair for approval.

The target date for actual operations to begin would be changed from Monday, March 17, 2008 to Monday, March 24, 2008. This would give us time to get approvals from Madame Chair, make any changes she suggests, alter concepts she did not approve of and get the final flyer copy to Sir Speedy Printing.


Monday, March 17, 2008

At approximately 9:30 a.m., George Sistrunk contacted Madame Chair and presented her the ideas that were discussed in the Sunday meeting. She approved the ideas, langauge changes and start date. He also stated he had decided to leave Balck Planet for personal and business reasons.

Madame Chair stated that our objective at social networking websites is to make contact and introduce as many people as possible to Bayne Street's family concepts. She would set up a page at Black Planet and continue making contact with intelligent or interested others. George agreed to stay a little longer.
