Health Help and Neighborcare are now facing the largest crisis in our histories - one that threatens to sharply reduce access to medical care for Portland's low-income residents. Neighborhood Heatlh Clinics has recently experienced a 31% ($bb,//Ji ’ shortfall in our expected income. As a result, we will be forced to limit our medical services in December and January to one night per week at ea clinic. We are hopeful that such a severe cut in services will only be tem porary. However, unless we can quickly raise substantial funds to cover our expenses, continued operation of the clinics is impossible. How could this happen? This funding crisis is the consequencei of several unforeseen and simultaneous events. First, the merger 0 e help and Neighborcare into Neighborhood Health Clinics, ,ncJ ^ s ® ay the receipt of a major grant that had previously bean appro^ f° r y borcare. A redertermination of need is now pending. Second, United Way was able to fund Neighborcare's operations at only 25% of the.level reque sted due to other demands on their resources. Finally, St. Andrew Parish, the founder and long time supporter of Health Help, with additional f.narv cial needs of its' own, can only help in a very limited way this year. This is primarily because of the $8500 - in addition to the planned $6000 they contributed to last years operation. uu m ..« t The result of these events is that Neighborhood Health Clinics must come to you - our friends and supporters - with this urgent appeal for " " ^ D u e to our critical situation, United Way has granted Neighborhood Health Clinics an exemption to their fundraising polices by allowing a one time-only direct mail appeal during the United Way's own campa.gm Neighborhood Health Clinics is a United Way service, remains supportive of the United Way campaign, and appreciates United Way s generosity granting this one-time exemption. ¿„„onri Thousands of medically needy people in the Portlandarea <*epe upon Neighborhood Health Clinics fo, their health “ US^ continue this critical resource with a contrrbution of S600.

New Service for Black Radio Stations — NBN II NBN Broadcasting, Inc., the parent company of National Black Net work, announces the inauguration of a new radio division, which will be known as NBN II. NBN II is designed as an unwired and syndicated program ming network. To-date, more than 150 Black/Urban formatted radio sta tions have agreed to accept unwired network schedules placed by NBN II. Additionally, NBN II has signed an agreement with Syndicate It Productions, Inc located in Los Angeles, California, to serve as its sales representative. Syndicate It Productions, headed by Robert Dockery, has been a major sup plier of syndicated programming to Black and Urban formatted radio stations since 1979. . . . Sydney Small, Chairman of NBN Broadcasting, said. We believe in the future of Black radio and its economic potential for advertisers. Black radio remains the most effective medium for advertisers to target their message to Black consumers. NBN II will enhance the advertisers' ability to target these consumers more easily and more efficiently." NBN Il's operations will be headed by George Edwards, President; Jack Bryant Vice President/General Manager; and Mel Williams, Vice President Sales Manager. Bernard Howard, former Chairman of Hillier, Newmark, Wechsler and Howard and Bernard Howard 7 Company, is a consultant to the new subsidiary. Mr. Howard brings his many years of expertise in the area of sales representation of Black/Urban radio stations. George Edwards stated, " It is time for the facts about the economic potential of Black radio, on a national basis, be told and retold to major advertisers and their agencies. There is no question that Black and Urban radio stations receive far less than 10% of the dollars currently being spent in our medium. Therefore, NBN II will work at raising the awareness of the advertising community to the viability of the Black consumer, and the effi ciency of Black and Urban Contemporary radio to reach those co‘\ sum®rs. The National Black Network began operations in July of 1973. Today the network has grown to some 125 affiliated stations with the potential of reaching approximately 80% of all BlaqkAmericans each broadcast day.
