[Missouri-l] Dood News!

[Denny Huff]

As most of you know we have been the target of an investigation of the
Missouri Attorney General and had several items we needed to comply with.  I
received a call from our attorney, Debbie Greider yesterday stating that the
Attorney General has closed our file.  He was impressed with our diligence,
speediness in our compliance and all of the steps we have taken to insure
what has happened doesn't happen again.  Also he was pleased with all we
have done to make MCB a viable non-profit organization.  So now so long as
nothing else comes up to cause concern, we are now released from anymore
scrutiny from his office.  This is great news and we can give a big thanks
to our attorney Debbie Greider for all of the hard work she has done.  Also
a big thanks to Bev Armstrong and others that have worked diligently to make
this all possible.  It's a big relief to once again be the organization we
should be in the eyes of the Missouri State Attorney General.

 

I might also add that we have settled with the Henderson Management Company
and will be receiving a settlement of $96,000.00 over the next four years.
We have also been released from the clause of the contract that will now
allow us to start our own thrift store or contract with another management
company.  My thanks to the thrift store committee, Franklin Johnson, Trudy
Steele, Bev Kaskadden and James Hollins for their diligence in seeing this
through.

 

Our next goal is to make the final settlement on the blind pension and that
is looking really good for us also.  Although we have won the settlement
against the state of Missouri, there is a lot of work to be done to
determine how the money is to be divided and Debbie Greider is working very
hard to make sure each person receives what they deserve.

 

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to give me a call.

 

Thanks,Denny Huff
