Health Awareness Connection

Akgnowledgements

The Health Awareness Connection has received much help from certain individuals over the years and I, Robert Taylor, the HAC director would like to publicly acknowledge their contributions.

Ms. Josephine Lane, besides being one of our original board members, has been the person who has given me the most encouragement to do the work that is done by the HAC. Her wise, competent, and caring advice and support has allowed me to start and continue our mission to do the STD prevention work that is our mission. When no one else gave me reassurance, she came through and supported my work. She gives the Health Awareness Connection free office space in her building, which allows me to concentrate on our mission instead of trying to find funding to rent a place to do our work. An accomplished actor, writer and theatrical producer, Ms. Lane has helped proof read the STD Guide and grant proposals and has given me numerous suggestions over the years to help the organization.

Mr. Christopher Taylor, my son, is the person behind our website and he is invaluable to the HAC. A sculptor and owner of a small business designing and producing children's jewelry, he has made our website a truly world class one. While I have written the material on the site, he has organized it into the orderly fashion that is easy to navigate. He has helped without any compensation and he has never hesitated to be there for me. I am very proud of him and his achievements.

The other directors on our board, Mr. Sandy Orenstein, Dr. Juan Albino, and Judge Jaime Rios have been a great source of support and advice over the years. They can be counted on to be there with their kind guidance.

Mr. Kenneth Kaplan gave us our first computer an early Mac laptop that is still used. Thanks.

Mr. Steve Essinger has helped with graphics and printing advice.

Ms. Shelly Kisor has supported my travel to Africa and South America to educate others in our mission.

The other individuals, companies and foundations listed on the benefactors page have provided the HAC with equipment and money to help us fulfill our mission. We appreciate their kind generosity to us.
