Well everyone, HL has taken a long time to get back to a "flow" from the summer madness, but I think things are getting back to how they should be. We had several new recruits in today from our recent visit to the schools Thurgood Marshall and Urban Academy of Media. That school in particular should be promissing in that they are one the Gates (as in Bill Gates) funded schools. Since their focus is media, perhaps we can work out some kind of funding oportunities through participation with them. When Justin and I went there Monday, we also met a couple teachers that might come through and work with us as well.

Everyone should be checking the calendar that Mera set up. It's at www.my.calendars.com/harlemlive. Everyone should know the user name and password. Please check it daily, even multiple times each day as we're costantly updating it with stories, meetings, visitors etc.

Additionally, there should be a story sheet for each and every story, be it poem, article, man on the street, video, whatever so anyone at anytime can see what we're currently working on or know what's ready to be posted.

We're very behind in putting up much content, including the Health page, the Clickable Map, the slideshows, we need to get our groove back!!!

To that end, we have some promising developments including working with the columbia journalism school students, we got some money to hire a grantwriter, and we are on our way to establishing more relationships with different schools.

Well this isn't such a great post but it's a start. Iyana and Keisean still have yet to put theirs up
