Date: November 14, 1990 To: Lori Dixon - Director of Historic Preservation Commission From: Kevin Gorham - Near Northwest Neighborhood Inc. Subject: Proposal for Apple II E Computer It has come to the attention of the Near Northwest Neighborhood Inc. than the Historic Preservation Commission will donate their used Apple II E computer, monitor, and printer to a not for profit corporation. The Near Northwest Neighborhood Inc. hereby submits a proposal of acquisition for the above equipment. The Near Northwest Neighborhood Inc. (NNN) is a leading neighbor- hood organization serving approximately 2000 households in South Bend. Acquiring a computer system will greatly assist the NNN in serving the people within its boundaries. The NNN plans the following uses for the computer: 1. Membership Records The computer will allow the membership records to be stored on a spreadsheet. With a spreadsheet organization scheme, membership can be recorded alphabetically, by one of the 15 districts, date of membership, etc. Print outs of members by district can be given to the District Representatives, membership renewal can be completed on a timely basis, and information about the members is easily accessible. 2. Matching Grant Funds For the past 2 years the NNN has was been awarded $1500.00 grant from Neighborhood Reinvestment. The first year the a survey was conducted within our boundaries. A membership drive and the continuation of the survey is planned for this year. The computer can be used for matching grant funding to support future activities such as these. Also, it can be use to graphically illustrate the results of the survey. 3. Treasurer Records A spread sheet program or financial program will be used to help the NNN to categorically track income and expenditures thereby establishing a working budget. 4. Recording of Minutes A word processor will be used to accurately and consistently record the minutes of each meeting.
