Norm Elrod runs the blog, Jobless and Less, a blog for the employmentally challenged, where he writes about his current experiences with unemployment. He is also helping out with this Saturday's Recession Survival Fair in Bed-Stuy, which is being organized by Brooklyn for Barack in association with the Stuyvesant Heights Parents Association.
Recession Survival Fair will be a non-partisan community service event
to assist Brooklyn and New York City residents in tackling the
challenges springing from the economic recession.
Attendees will have
free access to important information and professional help on a range
of relevant topics, including healthcare, food and nutrition, job
search, debt and personal finance, and tenants’ rights and foreclosure.
DKMS, the world's largest bone marrow donor center, will also be
conducting a drive for potential donor matches. All help will be
provided free of charge, although participants will also be invited to
offer their own expertise to the community in exchange. Here are the
