Fw: PRC E-News: Our amazing community has once again come through

[James M. Driskill]

Dear Local HIV Community Oakland CA USA:

 

I am no longer a part of your community.  I just want to reflect that I have been hurt and all used up in this process.  I wonder why Ms Ann Speyer quit her job?  I wonder --- By me pressing these issues into this community was a very big part of her decision.

 

What is left....

 

Well.. on my agenda that I have previously posted here and promised here is a public walk....

 

From the registrant address of :

 

MassiveMischievousMarvelOfMoldingMuck.NET

 

to the registrant address of:

 

Gruwup.net

 

sometime when the weather turns from summer bitter hot... to fall time cool.

 

The local HIV community fails their proper address of these issues.

 

And again, I ask... What is wrong with you people?

 

What would be grand... if the local HIV community support services acknowledged their wrong doing to allow this to have happened.  Because what I know is that you all are intertwined somehow in collusion among each other to push me out as a community pariah.

 

You are hurting me and us in this way.

 

Mr. James M. Driskill

Mark:

 

Just to let you know that I originally signed up as a client of PRC back last year and what I wanted to incorporate was possibility "SELF-EMPLOYMENT" as computer consulting and of course the main benefiting factors would be for community service within this local HIV COMMUNITY.

 

But what I got -- was a muddle of miss-directed resistance to bring in these technologies into our community.

 

Take this google search: [ world summit information society "persons with disabilities" ]

 

 

 

 

 

And again, I ask what is wrong with you people?

 

What I receive in return of community service in this endeavor is being outcasted as a community pariah.

 

Take a look at my resume:

 

http://home.pacbell.net/mindwayz/resume/jmd_resume.html

 

I am now back where I gruw up.... I worked for the San Bernardino Public Library before moving to the Bay area in 1987 and look what I accomplished here.

 

This begins to effect my mental state from all of this miss-direction and "forced direction" you all are placing against us.

 

Google this: [ "Forced Direction" Persecution ]

And Again, I ask what is wrong with you people?

 

And I again, find myself amiss to why...

Our amazing community indeed has once again come through.  With Betty Kohlenberg out for the rest of August, the All-Stars of Small Business Development Services have stepped forward as presenters resulting in an outstanding "Considering Self-Employment" program this Thursday afternoon.  We're talking about Gary Marshall from the SBA, Ken Stram from the SF LGBT Community Center, and Jill Winkelstein from the Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center.  Gary has created and maintains an extraordinary and unique bridge between the resources of the US Small Business Administration and the HIV+ community in the Bay area; Ken Stram heads up the ground-breaking economic development programs at the LGBT Community Center, and Jill Winkelstein is an outstanding partner of PRC's serving as a liaison between the agency, PRC clients and the outstanding programs of Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center.  If you're interesting in "Considering Self-Employment" as a possibility for now or perhaps down the road a piece, join us for this blockbuster event!

 

Below you'll also find details for the Job Fair on Tuesday, August 29th for employment opportunities in the Westfield San Francisco Centre with over 30 employers hiring to fill a very wide range of jobs.  We're not a presenter of this event, but share the info for the many who might benefit greatly from participating.
