Multnomah County RSVP Seeks Volunteers endure.” Fitzhugh served as Vice President, Special Markets, Pepsi-Cola Company from 1965 until his retirement in 1974. Since then, he has continued to work with Pepsi in the capacity of Project Consultant, administering several of the programs he helped to create. Prior to joining Pepsi, Dr. Fil/.liugh was a professor at Howard University from 1934-1965. While at Howard, he developed the University’s first Mar­ keting Program, organized the Howard University Small Business Center, and was advisor to the student marketing association for more than thirty years. Fitzhugh, a native of Washington, D.C.,earned his B.S. degree at Harvard University in 1930, and in 1933, was awarded the M.B.A. from the Harvard School of Business. In later years, Dr. Fitzhugh often recalled that, even with his educational credentials, in 1933 he could not get a sales clerk’s job in Washington, D.C. because he was black. During the 1930s, Dr. Fitzhugh was active in the New Negro Alliance, a Washington-based advocacy group. He also helped found the National As­ so ciation o f M arket D evelopers (NAMD), an organization that contin­ ues to focus on the Black consumer market, and served as its first executive director. Dr. Fitzhugh is survived by his wife of 54 years, the former Thelma Evelyn Hare; two sons, Dr. H. Naylor Jr. of Dan vilie, California, and Richard H. of Shanghai, West V irginia; a daugh­ ter, Dr. J.

Davis states that she and many others dropped their membership in POVA and joined Or­ egon Business Network only because they were never receiving any eco­ nomic benefit from POVA for their annual membership dues. Davis went on to say that she has received more leads, referrals and opportunities in one year from Roy Jay’s operation than she has ever received in her 10 years with POVA. “Nobody can say that Roy hasn’t been a team player, friendly or working for theoverall benefit of the businesses. He’s a nice guy and it’s obvious that Ahlers and his gtmg are picking on him because he’s doing the right thing” said one local business owner. POVA records show that Jay has the best attendance and participation at organization events and functions than any of the other board members. Jay who operates and is involved with nu­ merous ventures and activities is con­ sidered one of the busiest entrepreneurs in the stale. “We have sent out millions of dol­ lars worth of potential convention, visi­ tor and tourism leads by our Telefax system. We have never received a call from one hotel or anyone else asking us to stop sending them business opportu­ nities in this industry” said Jay. He went on to say that he is anticipating substan­ tial visitor, convention anil tourism project in the near future, which would give the area even a better advantage over other cities and states. “What they (POVA) arc trying to do is discredit and disrupt one of my businesses and I intend to hold each and every one accountable for every dime we lose or any other damages that we suffer, said Jay. That is the purpose of the court system”. What POVA has to understand is that “you can’t use yesterday’s rules in today’s game”...everyone should be in­ cluded at all times and at all levels, some current and former POVA mem­ bers compare the current situation to being on the benchataBlazergame...it’s fine for you to warm the bench, but the head coach will never allow you in the game. Black Economic Empowerment Goes High Tech New York-based American Minor­ ity Media, Inc. has unveiled a product that promises to revolutionize African American business development. The product, called the “ 1-DISK” is a mailing database with the names, addresses and phone numbers of over 2700 African American organizations, including newspapers, radio stations, colleges, churches, associations, and other non-profit organizations. Any­ one with an IBM-compatible computer and Word-Perfect software can use it to make personalized and customized mailings. According to AMM President Phillip Jones, “The principle is simple. If you're trying to market to Black- America, and you have a limited mail­ ing budget, would you rather sell to individuals or groups?” Although the database holds the names and phone numbers for all of the African American colleges, newspa­ pers, and radio stations in the United States, Jonespoints with particularpride to his section on churches. “Everytime we talk about getting mobilized for anything, the first thing that comes to mind is the Black church. Trouble is, no one knows exactly where they are. That's why the 1-DISK is so important. We have every region of the country represented in the church file. In time, we hope to have most of America's Black churches listed.” Jones cites the importance of the church file as the primary reason why he is not marketing this disk to white businesses. “This is a product for Black businesses,” he says. “White businesses have been using these mar­ keting methods for years on the Black com m unity-m ining our markets and carting away the gold. With this tool, we can reach our own consumers and build our businesses. Black America has the buying power of Canada, but that power means nothing if it goes into everyone clsc’s pockets. Just imag­ ine, if we could steer that money back into our community. I warn you, if we don't use our spending power to our advantage, there arc plenty of others who will.” The 1-DISK retails for $124.95 For more information, call 1(800)477- 2159. Teleconference on New Immunization Requirements for Preschool and Home Day-Care Operators A television training program on new immunization requirements for preschools and home day-care provid­ ers will be telecast by satellite on Au­ gust 26, 1992 from 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. to 29 locations statewide. The teleconference will focus on new rules for people operating pre- schools or caring for children in their homes. The new rules require al 1 preschools and home day-cares to maintain up-to- date immunization records on each child in their care. Persons operating pre­ schools or caring for seven (7) or more children must report the immunization status of each attendee to their local health department. The teleconference is sponsored by the Oregon Health Division via Ed-Net, the educational television system used by schools, hospitals and higher educa­ tion in Oregon. It is part of ongoing steps being taken by the Oregon Health Division to develop innovative, cost- cffectivc ways to meet health education and training needs within our state. The teleconference will be an inter­ active broadcast from Oregon Health Sciences University and will last three hours. Participants may ask the presen­ tation team questions via telephone hook­ ups. “Anyone operating a preschool or day-care in their home should consider attending,” says Dr. David Fleming, state epidemiologist. “In Oregon, as in most of the U.S., only about 50% of children are up-to-date on their immunizations at age two years. These children are at highest risk for complications from vac­ cine-preventable diseases.” Persons interested in additional in­ formation or wishing to attend should call their local health department immu­ nization coordinator.

Inquisitive, impulsive and fast, they may dart out between parked cars, from be­ hind shrubbery or other obstructions. “Children have a relatively short attention span especially in the early grades,” said Thompson. “Even if they know all the safety rules, they arc likely to forget them when pursuing a wind- tossed school paper or favorite toy.” First time students are particularly vulnerable since they lack experience in traffic and have not yet fully developed the ability to judge vehicle stopping distances accurately. Collisions are the leading cause of death for youngsters 15 and younger, claiming nearly 44,000 lives in the last decade.; Approximately 70 percent of these traffic incidents occur on the way to school and in the afternoon between 3-6 P.M. Nearly half the deaths and injuries of pedestrians between the ages 5-14 occurred between intersections in 1990 (the latest year for which statistics are available), noted Thompson. Incidents like these occur, in part, because stu­ dents get careless or act impulsively. Thompson offers these additional tips to remind motorists to drive cau­ tiously when school is open: • Watch for school zones that limit driving speed and turns during specific hours. • Pay attention to adult school cross­ ing guards and AAA School Safety Patrol members stationed at key inter­ sections. Patrol members can be iden­ tified by their bright orange belts. • Be alert for young bicyclists who may appear suddenly from your blind spot. • Obey local traffic laws concern­ ing school buses.
