New Projector--it's a beauty!

New Projector Purchased

Thanks to the help of SJN member Elizabeth Stoltz, who researched the options and made recommendations to me, SJN has purchased a new projector. We have been relying on the use of the Temple's projector up until now. Our projector should arrive in about a week, and be available for the Passions Workshop (AM) and SJN Mixer-Open House (PM)--both events on 4/29. This purchase was made possible primarily by the donations of our members, unemployed and under-employed workers.

Networking for SJN
This week, I attended two outside net events for SJN, hosted by CDI IT Solutions and LinkedIn Live (at the County Fair). I shared the group's accomplishments--the projector purchase and our work in general. People are amazed at what we do! As they pick up on the pride I take in this organization, they become interested in supporting us.

Oh, if you've never networked with Bill Austin, SJN's Vice President, be sure to make an event he is attending. He is a magnet and so well connected--one of the top people on the LinkedIn network for Phoenix. Bill is outspoken and passionate in promoting SJN and works to help both job seekers and businesses succeed.

Mission being fulfilled
Scottsdale Job Network (SJN) provides job transition training, personal connections, access to resources and moral support for job seekers through a Valley-wide network of passionate volunteers.

Volunteerism
Remember, we operate not only on donations (cash) but also on donated labor. While you have time on your hands, we recommend volunteering -- it helps us and also helps you strengthen connections.

Many thanks to all who make SJN possible and a very valuable resource to the community! Have a good weekend and I'll see you at Temple Chai on Tuesday morning, April 15.
