Page A10 Wnsfen-SaJem Oiwnide Thursday, September 1,1988 Minority, smaii businesses not active .to minorities. We have something to offer them. There are a lot of black . businesses that are small, and small 'businessmen, black or white, shouldn’t be treated differently because of it. Cash flow, financing, stable markets, they have the same problems R.J. Reynolds has. People are tired of being pinpointed as different. My needs are the same as the service sta tion down the street, it's no different in East Winston (businesses) than else where. I sense we'll get a lot more black businesses." Chamber Executive Director Fred • ‘Nordenholtz said the chamber encour ages all small businesses to join. "We ■•estimate there's probably 5,000 to 6,000 businesses in the area and now ■:2,100 belong," Nordenholtz said. "The ' small businesses are the target and a ^ lot of them operate within narrow mar gins." James R. Grace Jr., president of the Minority Business League, said that group is planning to work closely with the chamber to encourage eco nomic development in East Winston, "The chamber is willing to work with East Winston, we've just got to ask for something.” Rick Froneberger, advertising rep resentative for the Winston-Salem Chronicle, is a member of the chamber President's Club, a group designed to recruit new members, and is the only Afro-American member. He said he was asked to join the group in an effort to attract more Afro-American busi ness owners to the chamber. In speaking with local minority business owners, however, Froneberg er said most do not want to join the chamber because of the cost. An annual S250 fee is charged to belong to the chamber. Attorney R. Lewis Ray, like many other minority businessmen, said chamber membership is too expensive. "I just can't justify the expenditure," he said. "When you start setting priori ties, that's something I can do with out.” Ray said he was once a chamber member but did not renew his mem bership for budgetary reasons. Chamber to help The city Board of Aldermen will vote on which consultant to hire at its Sept. 9 meeting, keeping plans on schedule. The firms to be interviewed do not include a local minority-owned firm, Perry C. Craven & Associates, Inc., which submitted an application. Task Force member Evelyn Terry, however, said she was happy the firm "threw its hat in the ring." ; Task force members said at a meeting Thursday that they would prefer to hire a consultant who under stands the people living in East Win ston. "It's important they have some sensitivity, because they'll have to sell it to the community," Task Force Chairman Ernest H. Pitt said. Pitt was especially impressed by Hammer, Siler, George and Associ ates, a firm with an Afro-American principal, he said.

"Their whole objec tive is locating business on the white side of town," Froneberger said. "The white community doesn't feel comfort able coming to East Winston, and the black community has to go to the other side of town to shop." But Nordenholtz said the chamber is no longer involved in recruiting businesses to locate in the area. The chamber now leaves that function to a relatively new group called Winston- From Page A1 Salem Business Inc., a nonprofit orga nization owned by supporters who invest more than SlO.OfX) a year in the organization. Begun in September 1987, the goal of the organization is to convince large businesses to locate in Winston- Salem, Rick Weddle, director of Win ston-Salem Business, Inc., said. They currently have no Afro-American shareholders. But the group got started to improve the city as a whole, "because economic welfare is basic to civic wel fare," Dr. Thomas Hearns, president of Winston-Salem Business Inc. and Wake Forest University, said. From Page A1 impressed with him." Alderman Virginia K. Newell emphasized the importance of hiring a firm familiar with the needs of the Afro-American community. "To talk about economic development for blacks, you must know blacks," Newell said. "Not everybody black has had the the black experience. If they haven't, they must know it from A to Z." One of the four firms to be inter viewed, Urban Farmers, proposed to use Isler and Associates to conduct the study, a firm which often works with Turner Development Services.
