J Page A2 Winston-Salem Chi o ?# Minority Eco By MARDELL GRIFFIN Chronide Staff Wntef East Winston civic leaders are . forming an organization, the Minority Economic Development Corp., designed to aid in strengthening the economic base of their community. Corporation planners envision drawing support from a "cross section" of people and businesses in the T\vin Citv area who are interested in helping develop East Winston. James Grace, president of the Minority Business League and one of seven members of the steering committee that is shaping the corporation's charter, said the corporation's planning committee is meeting Oct. 6. And one of the items on the agenda is setting a date fq^a public meeting concerning the development corpora.. lioa v "Then we are going to invite the community -- people who are interested in this project -- to get involved," he said. The committee intends to submit the organization's articles of incorporation by the end of October. They are applying for non-profit status.

Projects for the group should be decided by the corporation's board, he said. "The people on the committee aren't necessarily ^ may tackle.

The Minority Economic Development CorjL's concept is a spin-off from similar type organizations that were^ popular in the 1960s, Grace, said.

These prices include all course material. Thomas J. Blair, executive vice president of the Retail Merchants Association, says, "Proper attention to customer service is critical to the success of any business. "If a particular product is available at approximately the same price from a number of suppliers, the decision about where to buy will be based largely on the consumer's perception of how they will be treated. A customer who is taken for eranted will not ho n mctnmpr for long." Neal Bcdinger of Davis Department Stores agrees and goes on to add that "these out-of-house customer service training programs offer a golden opportunity for our employees to interact With employees from other area businesses. They exchange thoughts and experiences and bring back fresh new ideas to cnhance the good service we strive to give our customers." 4 4 rprise jment Corp. i< He used Durham's Hayti Corp as an example of an organization sim ilar to the local group he is helping u plan.
