the unions hate black people, unions

do not want to hire black people, un-

ions are corrupt, and politicians and

civil rights activists are doing nothing

to rectify the situation.

There has been a simmering battle

between black construction workers,

contractors, and unions over the past

few years. One of the biggest com-

plaints is the exclusive use of His-

panic workers and sub-contractors.

They are also angry over the refusal

of the construction unions to allow

African Americans to get good paying

jobs on projects in their own commu-

nities.

It should be noted no one is demand-

ing affirmative action programs or

quotas. Their demand is simple.

Skilled construction workers should

be hired from the communities in and

around where projects are being built.

What pushed Gardner to once again

step into the public arena?

While driving around the city, Gard-

ner noticed road construction and

other construction projects in or near

African American communities. He

also observed there were few, if any,

black construction workers on the

sites. A community activist told him

about a major retail construction

project at 91st and Western, in Ever-

green Park.

There were no black workers on that

project either.

So Ed Garner, who should be enjoy-

ing his golden years and the fruits of

his labor, staged a protest. Then he

planned a rally last Sunday; approxi-

mately one thousand people from all

walks of life, showed up including

Congressman Danny Davis, 98-year-

old civil rights activist Webb Evans,

Chicago Attorney Sam Adam Jr.,

and radio personality and former

alderman Cliff Kelly.

Among those in attendance were for-

mer and current politicians, business

people, community active.

Unemployed construction workers,

and ordinary folks.

They marched, rallied, gave

speeches, and shut down traffic for

almost one half mile. The basic tenor

of the rally, from the point of view of

unemployed construction workers,

CHICAGO, October 1, 2012 —

Ed Gardner is a wealthy busi-

nessman respected throughout

Chicago’s corridors of power.

At 87, Gardner enjoys being a

“self-made” man who, with his

wife, created Soft Sheen hair

care products.

Edward Gardner also involved

himself in politics. He bankrolled

and helped elect Chicago’s first

Black mayor, Harold Washington.

He also became deeply involved in

trying to stop the violence in the

Black community, something that

has been spiraling out of control

for three decades. Edward Gard-

ner is making news again. He led

a protest march through Chicago

and suburban Evergreen Park last

Sunday. This was his second pro-

test in a week.

Our organization recog-

nizes that it is uniquely

suited to provide a cycle of

philanthropy that advances

multicultural communities

to new heights, as each

generation of men and

women gives back to the

next. It is an exciting time

to be engaged as a busi-

ness man or woman, and

perhaps, a more exciting

time to be a part of the

Multicultural Community

Project.

To Build Stronger

Communities:

The Multicultural

Community Project’s

mission is to stay true to its strength,

to leverage both personal and pro-fessional skills, as

well as relation-ships, in order to give back to the

community..

We must, first and fore-

most, build a solid infra-

structure. To ensure a

secure, financial founda-

tion for people in our

communities, people in

the community must be-

come gainfully em-

ployed, trained , and

educated. Bringing busi-

nesses back into our

communities is a must,

in order to level the eco-

nomic playing field.

The community has to

be the driving force to

save ourselves and our

communities. That is

why we have partnered

with various churches

and community groups,

to sponsor networking

and entrepreneurial

events. These events

strengthens our communi-

ties .

The message is a simple one:

We bridge communi-ties of professional

men, women and un-

derserved young adults through edu-cation, networking, and advancement.

Our goal is to ensure that multicultural communities have the opportunities they need to create a better future.

To Quote

Dr. Dorothy Height:

“Greatness is not measured by

what a man or woman accom-plishes, but by the opposition he or she has overcome to

reach his goals”.

for Outstanding Leadership in

Community Service ACT-SO – the Academic, Cultural, Technological and

Scientific Olympics, is a youth program under the ad-

ministrative aegis of the National Association for the

Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). ACT-SO

is a yearlong enrichment program designed to encour-

age high academic and cultural achievement among

underserved minority high school students. ACT-SO

relies on community volunteers and business leaders

to serve as mentors and coaches in promoting aca-

demic and artistic excellence among African-

American and Hispanic students. By providing an arena where students strive

to excel in the sciences, arts and humanities, ACT-SO equips its participants

with the skills to live meaningful lives.

In 1977 Vernon Jarrett of Chicago, a renowned author, civil rights activist and

journalist, initiated the idea of a program that

would promote and reward young academic achiev-

ers the same way sports heroes are honored. The

first national ACT-SO competition was held in

1978 in Portland Oregon.

”We must never write off the potential for greatness

among any of our beleaguered youth. Never!”

Vernon Jarrett, ACT-SO founder (1918 – 2004)

During our brief history, NYC ACT-SO has had a

profound impact on the lives of more than 6,500

young people. During this time there have been a

number of very special students who have left an

indelible impression on their peers and mentors

alike.

WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY…

AND THE ENEMY IS US!!!

In this day and time there are many betrayals who

have beset our community, who have set back and kept us

from reaching our true greatness and place in history. There

are many groups that perpetuate crimes of economic parity

in our community. However, we are most guilty of this crime

of parity against ourselves.

First of all, African-Americans handle vast sums of

money. But, somehow we have been taught to look at ourselves

as poor people. We are not poor people. We just handle

our money poorly. Out of every dollar we spend 95 cents

is spent outside of our community. We only spend 5 cents of

every dollar within our community. We spend so much

money, that everyday we make someone rich. We can’t stop

it. The only choice we have is who these people are going to

be.

We are in total control of our money, and what, where

and whom we buy from. So, we have to blame ourselves for

giving our economic power away. We do not realize the damage

we are doing to our own community by not keeping our

money within our community. So if there are giants in other

communities. We are the giant makers. When other communities

grow and prosper it is because we made it so.

So, as our unemployment rate becomes the highest

in the country. Don’t Complain. As our economic rate and

opportunities fall and diminish. Don’t Complain. When

African-Americans in Miami have only one Bank and Hispanics

have thirty. Don’t Complain. When you find yourself begging

some Bank for a loan and get rejected. Don’t Complain.

As our teenage unemployment and death rate soars. Don’t

complain. As our crime rate and murders sets new standards.

Don’t complain. As our dreams and our children’s ambitions

are being mortgaged away and our homes foreclosed

on. Don’t Complain.

As a singer of songs once sang “The Man Finally Let

You Make Some Money And You Fools Give It All Back”

From

The Barrio Foundation

We Do Have A Solution To Stopping

The Violence!

In 2012 we suffered over 500 murders in Chicago that makes us the number #1 most violent city in the

nation. Additionally, we are also the highest in school drop-outs amongst minority students across the

country.

I want you to please look into the program "From the Barrio to the Classroom", a bilingual book series

with curricula that serves as a road map to teach our kids the secrets to success.

As a Latino Civic Leader, I am appalled that people continue pointing fingers and blaming other people

for the serious issues we have with our kids killing kids and not taking on the responsibility, and also for

not being part of the solution.

The Barrio program is a solution that has already been tested and proven by hundreds of thousands of

kids of all ages, races, religions and economic backgrounds.

That is why we have decided to launch a global initiative called "SAFE STREETS", an initiative and pro-

gram designed to reduce the negative impact of community inequalities and violence.

How many more kids have to die? How many more panel discus-

sions, marches, stand downs and talking about the problems must

we have before you decide to make a difference? If you are reading

this message I am calling on YOU, our concerned citizens, corpora-

tions, community

groups, political leaders, churches and the private sector to contact

us and join our movement.

We invite you, all of you to pick up the phone and call us and to

help us to deliver the Barrio program to our kids throughout the en-

tire State of Illinois and then beyond.

Everyday our kids, your kids are being slaughtered on the streets

like farm animals, so let’s stand up together and be champions of

this place that we call home and join the initiative "SAFE STREETS"

so that we all say that we were part of the solution. If you have

kids and they are in a gang, being bullied, a school dropout, doing

drugs or worst, been murdered then I am begging you to help us to

STOP THE VIOLENCE here in Chicago!

We are building a coalition (an army), you can help us to save lives by getting involved,

please pick up the phone and call me personally.

The Madison Street headquarters

of Circle Family Heath Care is

where CEO Andre Hines runs the

six-site health care organization of

about 120 employees. For Hines,

it's all about serving the commu-

nity, a belief she's had since child-

hood.

"I have a heart to serve," said the

leader of the nonprofit Chicago

network that provides a full range

of medical and behavioral services

to more than 60,000 patients a

year. "The work that I do, in my

opinion, is a mission. It's not just

another job. My heart is to serve

where the needs are the greatest."

Hines credits her mother for instill-

ing in her the desire to serve. Her

mom, an ordained minister, moved

her family to Chicago from Gulf-

port, Miss. in the 1970s. Hines was

working as a receptionist in a

health care facility while struggling

as a single parent earning a mini-

mum-wage salary. That's when it

dawned on her that she could be

"counting pennies" the rest of her

life. That realization motivated her

to go to college.

She and her young son lived on

grits in the years when she started

college.

"In the months when we had extra

money, we'd have butter with our

grits," she recalled. "After we got

through those years, I couldn't eat

grits for a long time."

After receiving a bachelor of arts in

public administration from Roose-

velt University-followed by an in-

ternship, a master's degree, and

two post-graduate fellowships-

Hines received a doctorate from

Central Michigan University last

year.

Now Hines leads Circle Family,

which has three community health

centers: one on 4909 W. Division

St. near Cicero, one in Rock

Church at the corner of Parkside

and Central and one in Austin High

School. There is also a behavioral

health facility in Humboldt Park

and a mental health residential fa-

cility in Albany Park.

Hines is especially proud of Circle

Family's mobile health vehicle,

staffed by a physician, counselors

and case managers who bring the

network's services to 22 communi-

ties. Many of the stops are at

homeless shelters.

What attracted her to Circle Fam-

ily, headquartered at 5002 W.

Madison, was that it not only

served those with the greatest

needs, but also was unasham-

edly Christian-in both its vision

and practice.

"The mission of [Circle Family]

is in line with who I am," she

said. "We begin our weekly

staff meetings with devotions. I

wanted to work at a place

where we can feel comfortable

praying."

Hines resides in Forest Park, a

western suburb of Chicago.

She attends Living Word Chris-

tian Center because she feels

that Bill Winston, the church's

pastor, applies the gospel to

everyday life.

"I always knew that when 'I

grow up,' I want to live in For-

est Park," she said with a

smile.

Hines has some clear ideas on

health care reform and those

who resist it. She recently

wrote in Circle Family's latest

newsletter: "We live in a sys-

tem designed to separate us

into the 'haves' and 'have-nots.'

I believe God is using the gov-

ernment to provide avenues to

greater health care for every-

one and particularly the poor.

How do I save my business is the sec

ond question that I am asked the most.

Many people end up closing their doors

when their business can be saved. Being

in business is huge investment of time

and money. How do you know when it

it’s time to give up and walk away? You

business starts with you and your family

needs. You need to stay in business? This

is what you need!

Income: Is your business bringing in

money; If the answer is no, this is what

you can do to change it.

Make a budget and start cutting

cost. Get rid of things that are

not being used.

Updated your systems. How does

your business run? When is the

last time you updated or even

automated your systems? You

are only as good as the systems

you work on. If your systems are

outdated or not computerized

you are a dinosaur.

Evaluate the management including

you. Review all employees’ per-

formance including yours. Start

doing performance reviews.

Have someone that you trust

give their opinion in your busi-

ness for one week. Let them give

you an overall view of you and

your staff. This can be hard to

hear.

Cut the dead weight. It’s hard in a

small business to fire or layoff

people. Times are tough and

this is your business. You can-

not care more for your employ-

ees than you care for yourself

and your family.

Change the way you market your

business. If you are heavy in

advertising switch to doing PR.

People are saturated with ad-

vertising these days. Most peo-

ple fast forward during com-

mercials. Start driving people

to your doors with publicity

over advertising. How do you

start a PR campaign? Start a

group, or become a sponsor.

Sponsorship cost very little

money. To sponsor an event,

partner with local business.

Start by sponsoring a church

event or community event.

Churches love back to school

events. For the cost of donated

school supplies you introduce

your business to the whole

congregation. Start network-

ing, public speaking for events

and groups. Write articles

about your business. Become

active in your community. Go

where you customers are. Join

social networks on the web.

Expand your business reach. If

your business just operates in

your city expand by creating a

website. Introduce your busi-

ness to surrounding cities. Join

the chamber of commerce in

other cities and join network-

ing groups and trade associa-

tions in different cities.

Government and city contracts. Did

you know that the government

and city contacts are in every

industry? Check your local

government and city websites.

Improve your customer service.

Invite your customers for a

coffee chat. Go to that local

café and ask if you could invite

your customers in for an event.

Ask for the space for free in

exchange for bringing in new

business. Don’t be cheap buy

coffee and pastries for your

clients from the café. Don’t

do a hard sell. Be social,

make if fun and have a door

prize (donated by a local

business) or a gift certificate

from the café. Give everyone

a survey about your cus-

tomer service. Read it and

take it seriously and make

changes

Pay your bills and start making

arrangements. Don’t avoid

your creditors. Deal with

them honestly. If you don’t

have the money to pay them

now, see if you can start pay-

ing in small amounts to

show good faith. Everyone

will not agree, but this is a

good start.

Treat you employees with respect

tell them what is going on.

All your employee may not

stay with you. This will give

you an opportunity to know

who is loyal and what is go-

ing on in your business.

Put your money in the bank not

in your pocket. Pay your

bills and employees from

your bank account not your

pocket. You will better re-

cords. Don’t for get to pay

yourself. Even if it is a little

money pay yourself.

Change the look of your busi-ness. Cleaning and Painting is the least expensive way to update the look of your busi-

ness. If your business is not

clean of disorganized, clean

it up and get it organized. If

you need new furniture don’t

go on a shopping spree. Go

one craigslist or a second-

hand furniture store. Think

like a client, if you cannot

keep your business clean and

organized, you will turn

them off.

How do I save my business!

ARE MOST OF YOUR

ASSETS IN YOUR

CLOSET OR GARAGE?

Page 9 Volume 1, Issue 1

Are you the best dressed?

Drive the best Car?

In this economy you may look like a million dollars, but what are you really worth? Do you spend

your money on cars and clothing? You may look good, but what you are really passing on to your

children is a lifestyle of living above their means and consumer debt. Teach your children financial

literacy. Know the difference between assets and liabilities. Assets are things that have value. As-

sets are savings, real-estate, businesses, investments, ira’s, cd and money markets. Liabilities are

what you owe.

What’s your net worth?

Add all you assets together, and then add all you liabilities. Then minus you’re liabilities from your

assets. That will equal your net worth. Is your bottom line smaller that you thought? How can you

improve it? Make a plan.

1. Start with how much you are paying out every month?

2. Take one week and write down everything you spend. After the first week, see what you can re-

duce.

3. Make a budget.

4. Start saving, save ten percent of your salary. If you make $30,000 a year and saved 10 percent.

Your will save $3,000 a year. It may sound like a small amount. In ten years you will have $30,000.

5. Next work on your credit; find out what’s on your credit. Get all three of your credit scores. Don’t

fall for credit repair scams. Join a credit guard program. Correct all mistakes.

6. Make a financial plan. Start small, don’t buy that star bucks coffee or that lunch out. Instead for

one week put the money into in an envelope instead. At the end of the week see how much you have

saved. Next multiply that money times 52. That is how much you can save in a year by cutting back

on little things. Now deposit that money every week.

7. Join a 401k plan at work.

8. Buy a home or a condo. Owning is always better that renting. In this current market, there are

more homes on the market. You can find a great home for less money than you would have paid dur-

ing the housing boom.

Start a business; you may say you cannot afford to start a business. You cannot afford not to start

a business. Use that idea that you have had on the shelf for years. Even if your business makes

$300 a month, that’s $3,600 a year. You could save extra $1,000 in an investment account and watch

your money grow. You can put $ 600.00 towards your child’s collage education. With the other

$2,000 can pay toward the balance of your credit cards. Also there are numerous taxes benefits to

owning a business.

If you spend $300.00 a month on clothes and $500.00 a month on a car note, and $1000.00 a month

on rent. That is $21,600 a year. In five years you have spent $108,000. You may live in that fancy

high rise building but you are in giving away money. Invest in your future not your landlords.

By making small changes in your spending you can become financially stable. Instead of passing on

debt to your family pass on a financial legacy. Written by Yvonne Spear

hurches, non-for profits and

Real Men Cook

Even then-Senator Barack

Obama, now The President of the

United States, is among

the thousands of men who have

rolled up their sleeves and

donned a Real Men Cook® ban-

dana, apron or chef’s hat to make

a difference and change the way

Father’s Day

is celebrated for the benefit of

others. As a result, over $1 mil-

lion in ticket sales proceeds

and donations have been gener-

ated by Real Men Cook® to non-

profit partners and organizations

that serve families and commu-

nities. Now in the 20th year,

Real Men Cook® includes aver-

age dads and father-figures,

leading celebrities and elected

officials, both Eddie and Gerald

Levert hosted Real Men Cook®

for two years. Marc Morial, for-

mer mayor of New Orleans and

current president of the

National Urban League has

cooked, served and hosted Real

Men Cook®.

The mission of Real Men Charities, Inc. is to posi-tively improve the way the world celebrates family and community by in-creasing the proportion of opportunities for commit-ted and detached males to become involved, respon-sible, and committed fa-thers for the good of all communities, families and youth.

Real Men Cook® was launched in

1990, and it became the largest

family celebration in the country.

It is presented annually on Fa-

ther's Day, and has been for 19

consecutive years. Father’s Day

2009 will be the 20th Anniversary

celebration in ten leading cities,

but the reach and spirit goes far

beyond the city limits and even

influences and creates family ser-

vice

and celebration traditions through-

out the country, in the Bahamas,

on the Continent of Africa, in Lon-

don and Paris.

Today, Real Men Cook® is the

leading urban Father's Day experi-

ence. It’s a food tasting family cele-

bration featuring men volunteering

to cook for and serve the commu-

nity. Ticket sales proceeds are en-

joyed by partnering non-profit or-

ganizations in ten cities. Cooking

is an example for what men are

willing to do for their families and

communities, giving up Father’s

Day pampering to make a differ-

ence.

Millions more share the experience

through interactive news program-

ming and media coverage that

reached over 136 million media

audience impressions in 2002 and

over 200 million last year. That's

worth over $5 million in value in a

single year.

Beyond the media value is the in-

trinsic value of the Real Men®

brand. It points up the value and

contribution of the males to

healthy families and communities.

Real Men cause us

to focus on not just the biological

father, but men who make a differ-

ence in families and communities.

Men and especially women alike

appreciate and celebrate this con-

cept.
