North Carolina Career Network Magazine is
how-to guide for those who want business success

THE CHRONICLE
Are you fresh out of cojlege and looking for employment?
Maybe you've been laid off or seeking advancement where you cur
rently work? Or are maybe you just want to be your own boss?
If so, there's a new publication aimed at business professionals
that might offer you the networking tools necessary in obtaining
your goal.
North Carolina
Career Network Maga
zine is now available at
Bits & Bytes Coffee
Shop in Winston-Salem.
It is a magazine that
offers ideas, solutions,
and resources to college
graduates who have
found themselves look
ing for employment in
the Triad.
Publisher and
founder Sheila Robin
son, a native of Winston
_Salem, created the maga
zine out of personal
experiences she faced in
today's job market.
Robinson found herself
unemployed after 14
years as a marketing
director for Dupont.
Armed with a four
.1.. ....... ...
Sheila Robinson science from N.C. Cen
tral University and a few
classes in marketing
from UNCG . Robinson tried to find other employment in the Triad
area.
Overqualified/underqualified or relocation were her only
responses. Married and a mother of two, she would not consider
relocating. "I didn't want to move," she responded. "My family
lives in this state."
Thinking back to her days at Dupont, Robinson mused over how
all the magazines were offering advice on how to start your own
business. The problem was nobody was offering you networking
opportunities. "They didn't give you information on how to contact
others in the business. That to me is the most important skill that a
person can have - networking. That's what my magazine offers."
"During my days at Dupont, I traveled nationally and abroad
When I decided to publish this magazine, I used old contacts from
my days of travel. If I had a question, I'd call Japan, Asia, anywhere
I had to in order for my question to be answered." Robinson said.

The Forsyth County

information on the clinic can
be found on the county flu
line at 703-3350 or on the
county's Web site,
www.forsyth.ee.
The county had to charge
a small fee for its previous
shots because the Health
Department had to buy them.
The shots given on Monday
will be free because the state
gave them to the Health
Department with no charge.
According to Dr. Tim
Monroe, county health direc
tor, people got their shots
early this year, and the county
went through its initial vac
cine supply right away. The
county has already given
almost 5,000 flu shots this
fall.
"We're glad to have
more," Monroe said.
He said part of the reason
for increased demand for the
shots is fear of avian flu, or
bird flu. Monroe said it was a

BY SANDRA ISLEY
THE CHRONICLE
Take a step toward a new beginning.
That's what the return of The Winston
Lake Fabulous Step Team is all about.
After being inactive for several
years, 78-year-old Moses "Moe" Lucas
has his team back in step at the Winston
Lake Family YMCA.
At the request of former step mem
ber Jacques Holiday, the newly
renamed team formed to redirect the
troubled paths that young black men
were taking in the community.
"I became so upset at seeing our
young black men doing nothing and
how they were carrying themselves,"
said Holiday. "I approached Lucas with
the idea of starting the step team again.
He told me if I wanted to start it up
again, he'd be with me all the way."
Holiday, The Chronicle Player of
the Year back in 1985 as a lihebacker
for Parljand High School's football
team, credits his later successes with
being a member of the original step
team known as "The Cadets" from
1975-1978.
Lucas formed the original step
team, originally a drill team, back in
1971 after watching a St. Louis team
perform in a parade on television. One
