When JohnB and I worked on his grant app to LaPorte County United Way, we
leaned heavily on the Community Technology Centers Network (CTCNet) web
site. CTCNet lists the Urban League of South Bend as a member. There is
also a Boy and Girls Club in Valpo, a few blocks from John, which is also a
member.
I called the South Bend contact, Keith Blanchard, thinking he worked for
the Urban League as listed. However the phone number is the South Bend
Housing Authority (SBHA). Keith was out sick. I spoke briefly to Steve
Peterson, an administrator at SBHA. Steve told me that SBHA received an AOL
"PowerUp" grant in partnership with the Urban League. Steve is the SBHA
grant writer (hoorah!!). The grant was for a bunch of Gateway computers and
Microsoft software. The SBHA has three computer labs and two staff geeks.
I gave Steve the 15-second executive summary of FreeGeek. I asked to visit
their labs and invited their staff to visit our demo lab. Steve said he is
eager to work with us in "any way" he can. He asked me to follow up next
week.
Hhmm...grant writer...three labs...
