November 23, 1992, I met with Doug Boyd, Executive
Director of the Bethlehem Center. The Bethlehem Center
is a multi-service center located in the South Tryon
and Remount Road area of Charlotte. Mr. Boyd and his
staff work in a number of the FB clustered
neighborhoods and is eager to join the Fighting Back
effort of coordinating resources with the Neighborhoods
the Bethlehem Center Services. Additional meetings are
planned between Mr. Boyd and the Neighborhood
Associations represented by the Fighting Back
Neighborhood Committee.
3. Three (3) Month Objectives and strategies December 1 through
February 28, 1992
The objectives and strategies associated with the strengthening
of the neighborhoods targeted under the program are detailed in
the FB Project grant application. There are key areas that the FB
Project should be involved with over the next three months.
1. Administration
Hire new FB Administrative Assistant. The FB Project
has advertised for the position of Administrative
Assistant. The position will be advertised in the
Charlotte Post and in the County's regular
advertisements. We hope to fill this position with a
highly-qualified person A.S.A.P.
FB Offices. It appears to be a "breakdown" that needs
immediate discussion and resolution. The Fighting Back
Project needs to move to the Statesville Road location
immediately.
The Project Director needs the support of the City,
County and Executive Committee. We need to move in
order to keep the momentum going in the targeted
neighborhoods. The clustered neighborhoods need to see
some definitive "action" taking place on their behalf.
Issues of TRUST are beginning to emerge due to the
bureaucratic "RED TAPE."
I will work closely with Area Mental Health Authority
and County Engineering Office to insure donated FB
Offices are up and running ASAP. I will communicate
significant barriers with Peter Safir, the Executive
Committee and clustered Neighborhood Association
leadership.
