THE AVERAGE NUMBER OF TRIPS PER PARTICIPANT WAS 298. THIS PROGRAM UTILIZES ONE FULL-TIME DRIVER AND FOUR PART-TIME DRIVERS USING FIVE MINI-VANS OWNED BY THE MISSION PROJECT. 1390 1732 THE ACTING PROGRAM UTILIZES A PROFESSIONAL ACTOR TO COORDINATE THE TWO, ONE-HOUR CLASSES PER MONTH. ON AVERAGE 10 PARTICIPANTS ARE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THESE CLASSES. VARIOUS DRAMATIC TECHNIQUES WERE THE FOCUS OF THE 2015 PROGRAM. 442 HELPLINE: DURING 2015 THE EFFICIENCY OF THIS PROGRAM WAS IMPROVED BY DESIGNATING ONE OF THE MISSION PROJECT PARTICIPANTS TO CALL THE ASSIGNED HELPLINE MONITOR IN THE EVENING TO REMIND THEM THAT THEY WERE SCHEDULED TO BE ON THE HELPLINE FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS AND TO LOGIN INTO THE HELPLINE SYSTEM. THIS HAS DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED THIS PROGRAM. 592 OUR MOST CRITICAL PROGRAM IN 2015 WAS OUR PROBLEM SOLVERS PROGRAM. PROBLEM SOLVERS IS A WEEKLY SESSION FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS THAT PROVIDES LEARNING AND SOCIAL OPPORTUNITIES IN A SMALL-GROUP/STATION FORMAT TO MEET THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS. IT IS ALSO WHAT WE CALL THE "HOMEBASE" OF ALL PROGRAMS, AS ALL PARTICIPANTS RECEIVE ANNOUNCEMENTS AT THIS TIME, AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SIGN UP FOR ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS. THE CORE INSTRUCTION OF PROBLEM SOLVERS IS SOCIAL SKILLS IN NATURE, BUT THIS SOCIAL SKILLS INSTRUCTION IS PROVIDED RELEVANT AND SPECIFIC TO ALL AREAS OF THEIR LIFE. 8893 THE RECREATION PROGRAM PROVIDED COMMUNITY CENTER MEMBERSHIPS TO PARTICIPANTS. 1627 OUR IPAD PROGRAM CONTINUED IN 2015 WITH PARTICIPANTS GATHERING TOGETHER IN SMALL GROUPS FOR FURTHER LEARNING, BUT ALSO CONTINUING TO INTEGRATE THEIR TECHNOLOGY INTO THEIR DAILY LIVES IN THEIR HOMES. WITHIN THE IPAD PROGRAM, VOLUNTEERS HELPED PROVIDE INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTION TO THE PARTICIPANTS ENABLING THEM TO MASTER NEW IPAD APPLICATIONS FOR IMPROVING TIME MANAGEMENT, SOCIAL CONNECTION AND DAILY LIFE INDEPENDENCE. 4830 OTHER SPECIFIC PROGRAMS WE OFFER THAT HAVE CONTINUED TO ENRICH OUR PARTICIPANTS' LIVES INCLUDE: MP EXPLORERS (WALKING CLUB), ACTING CLASS, FITNESS WITH LEE, KARATE, SPECIAL OLYMPICS BOWLING, CLEAR EDUCATION CLASSES AT JOHNSON COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE, NEWSLETTER/WRITING CLASS, MOVIE CLUB, CRAFT CLUB, AND COMPASS POINTS (TRAVEL CLUB). 15942 156056 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 13 0 1 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 19 19 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 X JOHN PITTMAN 9134249707 7317 HALSEY ST SHAWNEE KS 66216 ALVAN BERRY BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 BILL PORTER BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 CARODY WISE FORMER BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 CATHERINE VESCE BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLES LAMONT BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 DAVE JANUS BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 ED STOLZ BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 FRED ZANG BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 GEORGE DIRNBERGER BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 GORDON KEMPF BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 RANDA NIEDERHAUSER SECRETARY 8.00 X X 0 0 0 JOHN PITTMAN BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 KAY WEBB BOARD MEMBER 8.00 X 0 0 0 LARRY ROUSE BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 LINDA ROSER BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 AVNER STERN PRESIDENT 15.00 X X 0 0 0 SCOTT CONNOR BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 BOB RANDALL TREASURER 15.00 X X 0 0 0 BARB DAVIS BOARD MEMBER 5.00 X 0 0 0 SARAH MAI EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 61609 0 5144 61609 0 5144 0 0 0 0 0 54360 51218 105578 TRANSPORTATION FEES 900099 21497 21497 ACTING/OTHER PROGRAM F 900099 1732 1732 23229 622 622 61244 54360 22917 38327 38327 167756 23229 0 38949 61637 26196 35441 55515 55515 5144 2186 2958 8735 4296 4439 6248 1495 4753 3596 3596 6000 6000 2245 655 1590 20322 20322 13226 8462 4764 TRANSPORTATION FEES 22809 22809 0 0 OUTSIDE CONTRACT SERVIC 20855 550 2125 18180 DUES AND MEETINGS 14303 7130 7173 0 OTHER EXPENSES 13053 3408 5546 4099 17989 4527 1808 11654 271677 156056 76935 38686 108865 44105 230960 199918 0 2075 144679 93889 26898 50790 366723 296888 0 34120 0 34120 X 0 0 0 0 366723 262768 366723 262768 366723 296888 -103921 -34 0 X 0 0 0 X 140343 266220 205374 270031 105578 987546 140343 266220 205374 270031 105578 987546 50708 936838 548 609 587 711 622 3077 308 30 5 343 990966 112032 0.94540 0.97510 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 144679 93889 50790 50790 X X X X X 0 DERBY GALA 50340 21000 29340 1540 GOLF 37477 21240 16237 15154 6223 2 27787 12120 15667 115604 54360 61244 15154 7763 22917 38327 SCHEDULE G, PART II, COLUMN A IN 2015, THE DERBY GALA WAS HELD IN CONJUNCTION WITH FIRST DOWNS FOR DOWN SYNDROME (A 501(C)(3)).
