AT ITS INCEPTION THE PROGRAM PROVIDED TUTORING, HOMEWORK HELP, AND SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE DURING AFTER SCHOOL TIMES (3PM - 6:30PM) ON NORMAL SCHOOL DAYS. IN 2014 THE PROGRAM EXTENDED ITS SERVICES TO INCLUDE EARLY DISMISSAL DAYS, SCHOOL HOLIDAYS AND A SPRING BREAK CAMP. THE HOUSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY, THE HOUSTON FOOD BANK AND THE GIRL SCOUT PARTNERED WITH THE FORGE TO USE THIS EXTENDED TIME TO PROVIDE ACTIVITIES THAT ADDRESS THE EDUCATIONAL, PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL NEEDS OF THE STUDENTS. TO ENCOURAGE PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT, PARENTS WERE REQUIRED TO VOLUNTEER AT LEAST 20 HOURS DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR AND ATTEND A PARENT ENRICHMENT PROGRAM WHICH IS A PART OF ADULT DISCIPLESHIP. 245128 1908 THE FORGE BASKETBALL LEAGUE CONTINUES TO SERVE YOUTH AGES 5 - 14. THE OVERALL BASKETBALL PROGRAM INCLUDES "HIS HOOPS" LEAGUE WHICH IS A LEAGUE OF OTHER FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS WITH TEAMS AGES 12 - 14. THE FORGE DEVELOPMENTAL TEAM PLAYED IN AREA TOURNAMENTS IN PREPARATION TO BECOME AN OFFICIAL AAU TEAM IN THE FUTURE. 215214 11134 THE FORGE SUMMER CLUB SERVED OVER 90 STUDENTS FOR SIX WEEKS DURING THE SUMMER. THE GOAL WAS TO SHOW STUDENTS A FUN TIME IN A SAFE CHRIST-CENTERED ENVIRONMENT, WHILE MEETING THE PRACTICAL CHILD CARE NEEDS FOR PARENTS. DAILY ACTIVITIES CONSISTED OF BASKETBALL, FLAG FOOTBALL, AND DODGE BALL. SEVERAL OF THE TEEN GIRLS WERE A PART OF A DISCIPLE GROUP THAT WORKED TOGETHER ON PROJECTS AND WENT ON FIELD TRIPS. BY FAR THE STORY FAVORITE WAS "YOU ARE SPECIAL" BY MAX LUCADO. KIDTROPOLIS, AN EXHIBIT WHERE CHILDREN PICKED A JOB AND WORKED IN A CHILD-SIZE CITY, WAS A HUGE SUCCESS; PACKED WITH FUN AND PRACTICAL LEARNING EXPERIENCES. 84175 84175 829273 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 20 0 1 9 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 X X TOMMIE FLORENCE DIRECTOR OF OPERAT 7136601864 3435 DIXIE DRIVE HOUSTON TX 77021 CEDRIC BURGHER CHAIRMAN 2.00 X X 0 0 0 GRIFF ALDRICH VICE CHAIRMAN 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID WYNNE SECRETARY 2.00 X X 0 0 0 DAVID CARROLL BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 ALEXANDER CHAE BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 JIM ALLRED BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN SULLIVAN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARK CASTIGLIONE BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 TOM BYARGEON BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 CRAIG WHITLOCK BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 BB EDWARDS BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DANA THOMAS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 125000 0 34084 TOMMIE FLORENCE DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS 40.00 X 73491 0 0 198491 0 34084 1 0 0 0 0 444750 680849 17250 1125599 AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM 624410 28239 28239 SUMMER PROGRAM 624410 11134 11134 VAN PROGRAM 624410 7500 7500 OTHER PROGRAMS 624410 5431 5431 BASKETBALL PROGRAM 624410 1908 1908 54212 42 42 81005 0 81005 81005 71244 9761 61899 444750 81766 -19867 -19867 1240991 125456 9761 -19825 28000 28000 239687 51668 188019 251365 174944 76421 51130 22038 29092 38951 16155 22796 38986 38986 3290 3290 12339 12339 33045 25976 7069 6167 5550 617 241851 239161 2690 42852 40757 2095 5052 1010 4042 126229 119918 6311 4952 4704 248 CONTRACT LABOR 50487 50487 ACTIVITIES 37000 37000 FOOD AND BEVERAGES 7549 7549 UNIFORMS EXPENSE 4356 4356 1223288 829273 381676 12339 208554 361456 32455 26260 5996944 913680 5205551 5083264 5446560 5470980 3259 14452 97182 94926 100441 109378 X 5346119 5361602 5346119 5361602 5446560 5470980 X 17703 -2220 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1673624 974986 808195 1038923 1125599 5621327 1673624 974986 808195 1038923 1125599 5621327 5621327 9159 353 25 62651 81047 153235 5774562 106317 0.97350 0.98330 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 209211 209211 5507143 660422 4846721 279347 252015 27332 1243 1243 0 5083264 X 1267496 26505 26505 1240991 0 1240991 1252013 28725 28725 1223288 0 1223288 PART X, LINE 2: UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS ARE RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ONLY IF THE POSITION IS MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT OF BEING SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION.
