A Story to Stretch Your Imagination

“Warren, I want to thank you for the opportunity to be of service, but now I want to get more involved. What else can I do?”

“I’m glad you asked. Tell me about some of your concerns ... . So what you’re telling me is that you would like to develop a comprehensive program to ‘eliminate welfare as we know it’, help the homeless, educate our kids, reduce crime, maximize our nation’s resources and relieve your tax burden.”

“Yes! I want to dream with you!”

          As Mr. Influence and Warren talk, Warren tells Mr Influence about some Chimorel projects he has worked on. About fifteen years ago, Warren developed plans for a limited partnership called Inner Columbus I to acquire and renovate inner city properties. Several years ago Warren worked with members of his church on a program called Productive Prisoners to develop private prisons and jails. Not long ago Warren reflected on a concept which might be described as institutions for dependent people. Recently he has initiated a number of programs: Cooperative Effort, I Got a Job, Property Renovation, and Create a Career. Currently he is implementing an ESL and Job skills program for refugees and immigrants.
