Private Company Research

Hi,

To find financial information while researching private firms you can search

Your local library

Access, www.hoovers.com or www.investing.businessweek.com

If you try to find the infirmation on the Business Week website and cannot access the information, it will be because the company was not featured in any business week issue and therefore will not be featured on the website.

Good Luck!

URGENT NEED FOR HOUSING

Hi Everyone:
I was called this week by a new Grace attendee who is in Cleveland from Tennessee to receive treatment at the Cleveland Clinic. His name is David Stewart and he would like to relocate to Cleveland and find work. He will be coming to our Job Seekers NetWORK meeting this Monday. David has spoken with pastors Harper and Guenther, and Jaime Norton about his difficult situation.

David is 52 and has been staying at the Extended Stay America in Middleburg Hts. with this companion/support dog. David drives, but must leave the hotel tomorrow. He is looking for short-term housing to get him through this week while he completes his Clinic treatment. David does not have the funds to continue staying in a hotel and Grace Church has run out of options for him. He is willing to help an elderly person with shopping or driving, or work for his room and board.

If anyone know of a resource for short-term housing for David, please email or call me immediately! He is a Believer that needs help, and he is looking to his brothers and sisters in Christ to reach out to him. I will pass on to him any help that we can offer.

Part-time Work for Retired Feds

Rick Pratt from Grace Church sent this message to Pastor Jonathan. Please contact Rick directly if you are interested in this work. -Jim

On an unrelated matter, do you know of anyone who is a retired Federal Civil Service person in the Cleveland area looking to work part time? Looks like it pays well--involves sales and customer outreach, basically drumming up business for Graduate School USDA in the local area. Requires BS/BA and extensive contacts in the Cleveland area among the various Fed and/or State and/or Local Governments with emphasis on Federal agencies.

If you have anyone in mind, holler and I’ll point them to the firm.

Good day,
Rick
