Mission: Turn Special Heroes into Super Heroes!
“Good Cheer” creates “Good Deeds” and this starts all the Atlanta Volunteers activities. Here is one of our fun loving contests called “The Knotty Nauti Photo Contest.” After you register you “check in” as a scurvy dog. Train your scurvy dog to enter contests or become a “carnival barker” and create fun for other scurvy dogs. Treasure hunts, Pirate School, Boat Parades and a TV series called “Special Heroes” are some of the things you can train your scurvy dog for.
At the height of the COVID pandemic Georgia lost a very high number of Peace Officers, 54. This included two K-9’s. Georgia also lost too many first responders and emergency personnel to count. The Special Scouts of Pack 114 led the way to create this giant floating flag that flips over to honor all first responders. Honor guard, an amazing national anthem, med flight helicopter flyover, invocation then 54 random people attending an event at Mary Alice Park on Lake Lanier were given a piece of paper to come forward and read in front of everybody. On each piece of paper were the biographic, family and end of watch details for each officer. Over 100 beach balls were also passed out. Each of those 54 people came forward to remember that officer. After reading the last name three cheers were given and the beach balls were thrown skyward. The flag was flipped from the USA side to the Police Officers flag. Then everyone celebrated the freedom that was earned with the ultimate sacrifice. A hot dog contest, an apple pie contest and a very funny version of baseball/dodgeball with the 100 beach balls started our celebration of freedom. “Good Cheer” honors everyone who does “Good Deeds.”
The Atlanta Volunteers clubhouse is where ability teams will achieve CNA training and state certification. An ability team is two people that share a single certification. The certification has two names on it and both people must train, test and work together for the certification to be valid. This pdf is a book called “The Ability Revolution” explains what is possible on this land that has special zoning for living and working at the same location.
Inspired by the Tun Tavern, this is the location of the “Pirate Dive Bar.”
“Achieve a high quality of life for people born as special heroes with special abilities.”
A person with a physical ability works with a person who has intellectual ability to create an Ability Team. By combining the strengths of their diverse abilities an ability team can sometimes equal or surpass the function of a person with no disabilities.
Our mission is to guide an Ability Team to become state certified and gainfully employed to provide CNA care to other special heroes.
We have changed the zoning on residential land to allow a business and a group home to occupy the same space. We will develop education and vocational training that achieves our mission. Our focus is learning the 24 daily living skills taught in CNA courses. The zoning has been accomplished and the footer has been poured for a 12,600 sq/ft multi use vocational group home. A secondary vocation would be the media industry to tell our story and to reduce our marketing costs. A TV series called “Special Heroes” would be broadcast from our server. Streaming a TV series is better than paying commercial rates for advertising time.
“Special Heroes” is a crowd sourced, community owned TV series. Each episode features a different special hero being turned into a Super Hero. Interactive marketing enables sponsors to get real time results from their campaigns as viewers use their cell phones to react instantly to contests and advertising campaigns. The Pirate Dive Bar software produces TV episodes that do more than generate donations, they document the quality of lives that were changed.
By utilizing our own medical director we can economically provide therapists and other professionals at the vocational group home to oversee the therapy, education and vocation of adults with disabilities. Two business models are used. One for a nonprofit and the other for profit so that taxable and non-taxable income is separated. Special Heroes should be employed at a tax paying business and not through a nonprofit.

Our showcase volunteer event was “Thanks First Responders” on May 15, 2022 at Mary Alice Park. Unfortunately, after the event a boat ran over our flag. We are hoping to replace it and continue this ceremony to honor our first responders with this giant flag, boat parade and a joyous celebration of freedom.
Reinstatement (I was late for filing. That is resolved.)
