The CV Fund now has a computer!

Thanks to an anonymous gift, the CV Fund has been able to order the computer we needed so desperately, and we now have it in hand. The computer is an Acer "Travel Mate" 5530 laptop, wireless or it can be used with wire, and particularly suited for business computing. Ed Black and Dave Israel are now working on installing the software we will need for our operations. Very soon now, with the purchase of a printer, we will have an efficient means to write letters to local businesses and corporations, asking for contributions and applying for grants. We will also be better able to keep track of donations and donors, and print out labels and receipts.

Thank you to our anonymous donor, and thank you all for your interest.

While waiting for the computer, we haven’t been idle. We have been sending letters to local businesses the old-fashioned way. These are businesses that have a stake in our well-being, because many Villagers are their customers. We have been contacting plumbers and electricians, our maintenance companies, banks and insurance companies, doctors and rehab facilities, service stations, restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacies, beauty salons, real estate agencies, and others. Already some money has begun to come in from these merchants. We are making it clear to them that we are not singling them out for a handout. We have told them we have been asking our own residents to contribute, as well as clubs and associations in the Village, and that we are gearing up to request funds and grants from foundations and large corporations—in short, that this is a multi-pronged effort.

Every little bit helps, whether you earmark a gift for an item such as a printer or postage or stationery, or you make a general donation to the Fund for the relief of our residents in need. Donations should be sent to: The CV Fund, Inc., 207 Salisbury I, West Palm Beach, FL 33417; telephone 640-7606.

Thanks!

Laptop Computer Needed

The CV Fund is badly in need of a computer on which to store our records and produce the correspondence required to obtain grants and funds from charitable organizations and individuals. Can anyone help? We are looking for a laptop with Windows XP. A laptop is needed, because the computer will need to be operated at different locations.

A used machine would be fine so long as it is a laptop with Windows XP.

Two hundred dollars ($200) has already been donated toward the cost. If you would like to make a monetary contribution toward the computer, please make your check out to "CV Fund" and sent it to CV Fund, 207 Salisbury I, West Palm Beach, FL 33417. Please note "for computer" on your check.

If a machine is donated, so it turns out that we do not need the monetary contributions received, these will be put in the general fund used for relief of those in need, UNLESS you you request we do otherwise.

Thanks to any of you out there who can help us with this. If you have any questions, please call the CV Fund at (561) 640-7606 and ask for Jean Dowling.

WHO IS FRIEDA

WHO IS FRIEDA????

-----
Freida, dear friends, is a representation of all of those in CV who are in financial need. These people passed the financial test to move here but through many different circumstances have lost part of their income.

-

In these economic times, it could be any of us. If we can pay our bills at the end of the month and feed ourselves, we should feel lucky. ......Yes, we will make certain that each applicant needs the help we will provide and we will not hand out money but will pay either WPRF or Maintenance for them....depending on need, maybe both.

-

We are also investigating the vehicle to reclaim monies advanced if the person leaves the Village and sells their property. One of the attorneys helping us is working on the best way to achieve this.

We hope to also help by directing the recipients to other services to help. If there is another need and there is a service in place already, we certainly will help them to receive that service.

-

My heart warms by the people who have given their time or money and hurt by some who are hard hearted and criticize our efforts. One even wrote that she hopes that Freida dies.

-

By-the-way, Freida does not exist, she is a face from an internet service. We would not embarrass anyone in the Village by publishing their story or face. Freida represents all of those real faces.

-

We are an incorporated non-profit organization in the State of Florida. As for taxes, even though we are a non-profit, we had to pay internal revenue $300. We do have a Federal ID number so if you need it for deductions, please call and I will give it to you.

-

If you have any other questions, please call and I will answer them.The last thing that I want you to know is that this help for individuals, will also help associations because if we help someone to pay their condo fees, then the condo does not have to go to lien or foreclosure.

-

My phone number is 640-7606. Remember when we have enough money, we can start helping those who are in need so give what you can.

-

Thank you.

CV FUND - PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE

Hi All,

It has not gone unobserved in these troubled economic times that there are those among us; your neighbors and mine who, for any number of reasons beyond their control, are in financial trouble.

One of our caring neighbors, Jean Dowling, who was involved in a previous effort to help CV Unit Owners in need, has galvanized a new effort to create a Self-Sustaining organization to resurect this People-Helping-People effort.

This entity is called simply; CV Fund.

Your BLOGMEISTER is honored to be asked to assist in this effort which is just getting up and running. In the furtherance of this enterprise, we have created a BLOG Site dedicated to CV Fund Operations.

Please See: http://cenvill-help.blogspot.com/

For more information, and If you feel you can help please call Jean Dowling at the number listed in the new CV Fund BLOG. Please advise me here if you have any problems accessing the BLOG.
