Moving Forward In 2009

Update

December 2, 2008 - January 31, 2009

The Bayne Street Project (TBSP) supports the statement of the U.S. Broadband Coalition entitled, "A Call to Action for a National Broadband Strategy". A comprehensive national Broadband Strategy will benefit every American citizen.

TBSP has authorized the Coalition to identify the Bayne Street Project publicly as a supporter of the statement. The "Confirmation of Support" for "Call to Action" was signed December 23, 2008 by the Chairman - George M Sistrunk.

In other news, because of continuing problems with the U.S. economy, tightening credit, rising unemployment and uncertainty concerning the financial viability of local businesses and government agencies in Orangeburg, South Carolina, the Bayne Street Project will curtail field activity until further notice effective January 2, 2009. During the interim, the Chairman will continue investigating ways and means to help families in Orangeburg and around the country earn part time income and acquire home computers.

The program concepts alluded to in a previous post are in the final stages of development and should be ready before March 2009.

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.

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.
