All costs, including air fare, lodging and meals are paid by FMF. To date, FMF has served over 700 warriors.Upon leaving the military, many warriors, especially those suffering physical wounds or the emotional wounds of PTS/TBI, experience depression and a lack of direction which can lead to confusion, despair and, tragically, suicide. These symptoms can persist over years if not properly addressed. During the week at FOCUS, participants are given the tools to build rewarding and meaningful lives. The program starts with an intense, introspective, 3-day workshop to recognize and purge negative tendencies and to embrace and overcome the difficulties of civilian life. Superb motivational speakers inspire participants to rise above their challenges, reject victimization, adopt positive habits, and recognize their inherent potential. Participants are coached in practical life skills such as networking, resume writing, mock interviews and other important talents. During the week, participants experience renewed hope and direction, develop positive characteristics, experience enhanced self-worth, and are re-committed to themselves and their families and friends. 49399 MENTORING - During each FOCUS program, select participants from previous courses are brought on site to mentor and encourage current participants. At the conclusion of the FOCUS course, participants are paired with a mentor(s) who provides continuing, individualized support. FOCUS also reaches out to past participants in times of need to assist them in their journey from the battlefield to civilian life. The mentoring process is dynamic, intimate and an important element of the organization. 495679 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 19 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 17 17 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X Rick Meyer 6365291375 360 Carr manor court BALLWIN MO 63021 JOHN BRAUER Director at LARGE 10.00 X 0 0 0 MERLIN CLAYTON DIRECTOR AT LARGE 25.00 X 0 0 0 MICKEY DRAKE DIRECTOR AT LARGE 7.00 X 0 0 0 TOM FISCHER DIRECTOR AT LARGE 5.00 X 0 0 0 NATE HALL SECRETARY 4.50 X X 0 0 0 HARRY HEGGER VICE CHAIRMAN 10.00 X X 0 0 0 RON HOLTMAN DIRECtor at LARGE 1.00 X 0 0 0 TOM ILGES DIREctor at LARGE 7.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD MEYER CFO 10.00 X X 0 0 0 GREG OMER DIRECTOR AT LARGE 3.00 X 0 0 0 KEN STREETT DIRECTor at LARGE 2.00 X 0 0 0 WALT SUHRE CHAIRMAN 5.00 X X 0 0 0 MIKE WALTON DIRECTOR at LARGE 3.00 X 0 0 0 TED KRETSCHMAR VP OF DEVELOPMENT 40.00 X X 44000 0 0 SHERI OBERHELMAN DIRECtor at LARGE 40.00 X 46500 0 0 Dennis Simpson President 8.00 X 0 0 0 Jack Quinn Director at LARGE 3.00 X 0 0 0 John Meyer Director at LARGE 1.00 X 0 0 0 Charlie Scott Director at LARGE 6.00 X 0 0 0 Norm Harriman Director at LARGE 4.00 X 0 0 0 90500 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 20213 841652 78621 861865 410 410 5333 4600 733 733 733 35988 20213 29516 6472 6472 869480 0 0 7615 X 83967 45910 440 37617 31841 8825 12706 10310 10202 4238 1005 4959 1460 1460 20800 20800 106573 105296 -76 1353 3980 3980 59200 48517 340 10343 17338 14807 692 1839 6184 6184 82801 82417 384 3050 3050 12140 11394 746 PARTICIPANT PROVISIONS 96032 96032 MEALS 44374 42995 1379 HOUSEKEEPING 18872 18872 CLOTHING 5199 5199 2048 483 1565 606061 495679 36653 73729 527193 483448 101056 401103 1821 16166 17000 5050 11600 11950 641670 912667 4860 1213 3800 400 8660 1613 X 630510 911054 2500 0 633010 911054 641670 912667 263419 14625 0 X 0 0 0 X 308454 670655 682639 944964 861865 3468577 308454 670655 682639 944964 861865 3468577 963762 2504815 19 31 79 127 410 666 229 6472 6701 3475944 0.72060 0.67510 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 17000 5050 11950 11950 Golf Tournament 39993 17113 22880 1000 2540 9090 5340 52 7674 Mess Night 13318 3100 10218 3820 1 2890 2890 56201 20213 35988 1000 2540 9090 9160 52 7674 29516 6472 X 50765 FAIR MARKET VALUE X 4 27856 FAIR MARKET VALUE 0 1 0 Part I, Column (b): NON-CASH CONTRIBUTIONS ARE RECORDED BY THE NUMBER OF CONTRIBUTIONS RECEIVED.
