Mission: Turn Special Heroes into Super Heroes!

“Good Cheer” creates “Good Deeds” and this starts all “Volunteer Missions” such as the “George Washington Christmas Game“. Here is another one of our many fun loving volunteer missions  called “The Knotty Nauti Photo Contest.” Some volunteer missions like “The Karaoke Challenge Game” might combine socialization and speech therapy together. 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 volunteer missions you can train your scurvy dog for. Having great fun as a volunteer might get you thinking about volunteering to help Special Heroes.
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. This was a very special volunteer mission for the Special Scouts of Pack 114. They 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.” (Nov. 10, 1775, with George Washington present, the marines raised their flag for the first time at a notorious pirate dive bar in Philadelphia Pennsylvania.  Then they all drank beer together, played the drums and fife and sang “Yankee Doodle Dandy!  The British called our lovable marines “Scurvy dog pirates.”  Dec. 25, 1776 George would take 2,400 scurvy dog pirates across the Delaware River to meet the British and give birth to this great nation.) The “Pirate Dive Bar” is where we will give birth to a new way to provide the pursuit of happiness to Special Heroes!

Mission, Vision, Method

“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.
The letter of determination for FAST is here. (https://piratedivebar.com/letter) The book “The Ability Revolution” contains the business plan to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. You can download this book for free or buy it on Amazon. We are 100% volunteer and 100% transparent. We do not have any salaried employees!

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.

Volunteer Missions

In 1776 “Booty” was a very patriotic and respected word that meant the munitions, supplies and ships surrendered by the British. The 13 colonies used surrendered booty to win their freedom and their country.
There are two links, one is “Create” and the other is “Share Good Cheer.” When you press “Create” you create the volunteering and the sharing of good cheer that defines American spirit. When you press “Share Good Cheer,” you surrender the booty. Your volunteer mission is to create the American Spirit to get other people to “Surrender The Booty!”
The Marines have a bulldog mascot named Chesty. Since only scurvy dogs are allowed in the “Tun Tavern” (pirate dive bar) adopt and train a “scurvy dog” then send them in. You may see other dogs such as carnival barkers trying to grab your booty or working dogs keeping you safe. You could see Mermaids at the Petting Zoo serving food and drink. Sharks can be found all around. During the “President For A Day” contest, if a bribed judge finds you innocent of sharing good cheer, you walk the plank or go down the escalator if you are guilty of sharing good cheer. There are lots of ways to create good cheer that inspire good deeds inside the Pirate Dive Bar and all of it is with real people and not on your phone.
A “Knotty Nauti Photo Contest” will test your freedom of speech and good cheer while teaching you basic sailing knots. Tell everyone you post knotty nauti pictures, “would they like to see them?” The Karaoke Challenge Game will challenge you to be a rock star of sea shanties, patriotic songs and dancing pirate jigs. Treasure maps are as small as QR codes. Pirate trivia will test your sea skills. Pirate School will teach you how to become part of military styled precision boat parades. You will know your start time, safety procedures, position in a squad, squad in a group and group in a parade. Each boat becomes an interactive live streamed carnival booth while in the parade. During the TV broadcast of the boat parade, just like a float in a Christmas parade, each boat competes “live” to broadcast 10 seconds of 250th birthday fun. The winners will be featured as comedy bumpers, during the main broadcast of the TV series called “Special Heroes.” Without Pirate School you don’t have a boat parade, you have an unorganized tidal wave of boats.
Special Heroes are patriotic pirates born with the special powers of Down syndrome, autism, spina bifida or who have other special powers. Our patriotic mission is to turn Special Heroes into Super Heroes!
Over a dozen volunteer missions train anyone to be cast and crew and create B roll for the comedy bumpers of this TV series. Instead of a house, car or food being fixed up, in each episode a gang of scurvy dog pirates turns a Special Hero into a Super Hero by solving quality of life issues for employment, education, housing and the most important thing, the pursuit of happiness.
The George Washington Christmas Game
You will be practicing and developing  250th birthday celebrations for July 4, 2026.  You can score with a pen and paper or automatically online.  There are 3 specialty games and four games measured in minutes. 1, 25, 250 or any number over 250.  1 minute points are called “loonies,” (Short for a pirate coin called a “Dubloon”).
For this example we will be playing the 25 loony game.  If you are using a pen and paper to score, everyone starts at minus 25 loonies.  If you are playing online you pay 25 loonies to start. If you don’t recover what you paid to start you “walk the plank.”
If you are playing with pen and paper you have three trades.  If you are playing online you can trade as much as you want.
If you are playing with pen and paper everyone can agree on an ending time.  If you are playing online, a scorecard, your booty size and 5 leaderboards are kept for you.  The leaderboards are Country, State, City, Venue & Mama.  You also get points for the “President For A Day” contest. Your start and stop times are automatic depending on the game you choose.
An example of a Pirate Booty Prize is “Hot Chicken Wings.”  An example of a British Booby prize is “Left over chicken wings, but some still have some meat on the bones.”  The person who “Hosts” a George Washington Christmas Game is called the “Bootymaster.”  They are a banker that can’t count and a judge that takes bribes.  They also don’t know the difference between a booty and booby prize or if you are innocent of sharing good cheer.  One person is just as innocent as another so anyone who is innocent of sharing good cheer can get the booby, or maybe the booty prize.  If you are guilty of sharing good cheer you will “Get Loony.” If you are playing a 25 loony minute George Washington Christmas Game, you donate 25 minutes of loony volunteering, then try and earn bigger booty or booby in 25 minutes.
“Share Good Cheer,” to “Get Loony.”  Biggest Booty wins!
Pen and Paper – 25 loony game
Write down a volunteer mission on a piece of paper and fold it twice. Sticky notes work great! Write the number of minutes (loonies) on the outside.  Do this until you have more than 25 minutes when you add all your missions together. Typically the volunteer missions are 1 to 10 minutes long but you can use 25.  Examples of volunteer missions are singing Yankee Doodle Dandy, making hot chocolate, teaching a sailing lesson, cleaning a windshield, going fishing, baking cookies, washing the car or cleaning up after the dog in the back yard. They can be anything!
In a circle, starting with the person who has a birthday closest to Dec. 25 without going over, you take turns drawing one mission at a time until you have at least 25 minutes.  You can go over on your last draw.  This continues in a circle until everyone has at least 25 minutes.  Then going around in a circle everyone reads the volunteer missions they chose.  Starting with the first person to draw they make any trade.  The person they traded with goes next.  Once you have traded 3 times you drop out.  This continues until everyone has had three trades.  The agreed upon time now starts.  Complete as many volunteer missions as you can in the time given and score the loonies for that mission. The biggest booty wins!  You can score per game or keep a running score.  You can assign prizes for reaching scores such as 50, 100 or 250 or anything you want.  A great way to get chores done around the house, clubhouse or break room. “Booty prizes” are missions you want, “Booby prizes” are missions you don’t want. You only complete the ” missions you want to do in the time given. There are variations for the boat parade, The Karaoke Challenge Game, Pirate School, Meet New Dogs, Bootymaster comedy lab, and other types of volunteer missions.
The online version is explained with the instructional video found on the link at the top of this page. You can create prizes and volunteer missions days, weeks or months before your 250th birthday celebration or immediately on the spot.
IRS Reporting – Anyone may register a donor or employee and get paid 10%!
You have a small possibility of being paid as an agent, fund raiser or winning a prize. There is no cost to do this. You get your own QR code when you register. If somebody scans your QR code and registers, you are listed as their “Mama” and they are listed as your citizen. Showing your QR code so they can register is all you do to get 10%. If sometime months or years in the future your citizen becomes an employee of a business to support Special Heroes or the TV series Special Heroes you are paid 10% of their wages for being an agent. You are paid on the day they are paid. If your citizen donates at anytime in the future, you get a 10% fund raising commission. You could win a door prize or other types of prizes. For these reasons you may have to fill out IRS forms to be paid if you go over the $2,000 threshold when you win prizes or get paid commision.
The reporting threshold for 1099 IRS forms used to be $600.  In 2026 that has been raised to $2,000.  
When you “Recycle your loony booty for cash” (you exchange minutes of volunteering to “share good cheer” for cash tips) those are tips and are not subject to taxes.
See your dashboard for a list of all your citizens, the volunteers you recruit and complete information.
We playfully call our automated accounting for your 10% commission, “Your Mama’s Booty Tax!”
This is how we keep all our fund raising expenses below 10%! 
Reinstatement (I was late for filing. That is resolved.)
