Not long ago the newspapers had stories about the large number of high school graduates that can’t read and the fact that 30% of today’s children are born out of wedlock. These and other issues are the kinds of things Mr. Influence and Warren began to dream about. Then they rolled up their sleeves and began to put an organizational structure and a strategic plan together. They developed a team of volunteers and resource developers, as well as, strong financial and advisory boards. They created Client Assistance, Education & Employment, Business Incubation and Nonprofit Development distribution committees. Resource Developers had the opportunity to become managers, coordinators and planners. Warren & Mr Influence initiated an active Master Mind group.

       Some of the team located property (large apartment complexes, warehouse and office space, shopping centers) in rundown areas of major population centers. The team found skilled contractors and service providers willing to help teach teenagers, welfare recipients, homeless people, parolees and unemployed individuals fundamental building skills and pride in their accomplishments. The team sought to instill a sense of ownership by offering people the opportunity to buy a house or condo unit. The team attempted to create a desire to take care of their property with tough standards, frequent follow up and encouragement. The team stressed the need for honesty, integrity and the requirement to remain crime free.

       Others on the team approached colleges, training centers and business incubation programs. Through these contacts the team enhanced opportunities for remedial education, GED, vocational and business training programs. The team worked with welfare departments and unemployment bureaus to develop programs to motivate, educate and employ the people welfare recipients and those seeking jobs. The team worked with personnel departments at large firms, the owners of small firms and budding entrepreneurs to provide training, benefits and employment for Chimorel clients.

        Other team members began a two stream fund raising campaign. On the investment side, we developed the structure to re-establish Amerivestor Associates Inc as a broker-dealer firm. The first two projects were Chimorel One LLC and Ohio Resource Recycling Inc. On the nonprofit side, we established a series of nonprofit fund raising activities.
