Brother Kevin Brabazon donated two brand new Dell computers. The other two computers are used. The one donated by the New Yorker Hotel can be used on a minimal level, with no Internet access. The other Compaq computer is running on a Windows 95 system, which is not working well. Rev. Edner Pierre-Louis has donated $200 cash toward the purchase of a third new computer (preferably a Dell). Rev. Bruce Grodner and I met with the West 120th Street Block Association. They agreed to be a partner with the TA Center, so we have put their name on the brochure. When opened, the Internet Café will be available. Two Second Generation high school students, Kristoff Heller and James Gomis have volunteered to be responsible to manage the Café after-school. We have purchased a Netgear Wire- less Router to connect more than one computer to the Internet. Soon Brother Charles Patterson will come and install a network system that will allow all the computers to view the same programs simultaneously which is excellent for teaching students the same material at the same time. Dear brothers and sisters we are ready to open this TA Center.
