THE CONCEPT:
To encourage discussion and sharing of information about Blytheville, Arkansas and the surrounding area.
HOW IT WORKS:
EVERYONE has basic needs; the food-shelter-health care PRIMARY focus of life. When circumstances get out of control, providers ARE available but it can be a bit complicated to locate them sometimes. It is often a question of "WHO DOES WHAT".For the LINKS & CONTACT INFORMATION section of the forum, there is an INDEX of various TYPES of resources. Not sure exactly where to look? A built-in SEARCH feature at the top right hand corner of the page can locate key words and display possible SOLUTIONS.
NEW ADDITIONS: Things change DAILY. Businesses and agencies open and close. NEW resources can become available but how effective are they if no one knows about them?
Phone books only come out once a year, the only time they are UPDATED. With an online reference, additions and corrections can be made in a matter of MINUTES but SOMEONE has to post them. That is where EVERYONE can help out.
A forum permits anyone with Internet access to CONTRIBUTE to the community by providing up-to-date information. Know of something that would be of use or interest to area residents or visitors? POST IT.
CONNECTING WITH OTHERS:
It is said that nothing happens in a vacuum. There are many clubs and organizations that might have the same interests as you do. COMBINE your efforts with others' to make a BIGGER difference! Additional focused discussion areas can be added as needed.Moved away from the area and lost touch with friends and neighbors? There is also a REUNION section on the forum listing many common background contact options.
New to Blytheville, Mississippi County or the Missouri Bootheel and have questions? Just ask! Many folks are quite willing to share their knowledge and experience with others. The online community forum is available to all at any time. Any information may be copied, printed or otherwise used without restriction. Organizations and individuals it pertains to are particularly invited to assure accuracy and timeliness.
