Community Connectors Notebook
Invitation
Hi All.
I am looking for people who would like to join me in studying the role that an Information Advocate might play in neighborhoods, community centers and churches. This role might include ordinary neighborhood news, but also personal, one-on-one "real needs" counseling and match making to help people find the social supports and material connections needed to make their everyday living work more smoothly.
Please write back if you'd like to learn more...

The Notebook
This page and the associated links and materials are available as a method for collecting resources that Information Advocates might use in the course of their work.
Background
The blog post about the Temple U meeting last Spring.
I met Jack Scully in 1970. I ran the Everything for Everybody shop on South Street in Philly from June of 1970 to June of 1971. The following year, we called ourselves, the Information Store Collective. Alec's experience as revealed in the essay below, happened between three and six years later.
