WHAT DO YOU SEE?

Five years ago Mike Cooper looked
at 17,000 square feet of empty
warehouse space! 
That is not what he really saw!

There was something more! 
That empty space could offer a positive
choice for the youth in 
Fairmont, West Virginia.

A dream was in his heart, a kind
church backed him, great community
leaders were thrilled at the possibility,
and with a work force of many youth
the empty space began to change!

The result five years later is staggering!
That space is now called "The Factory"
a drug-free, alcohol-free, and violence-
free environment for youth!  
In that building now:

*2 large Video screens;
*9 TV's with video games;
*Forbes Field Batting Cage;
*Basketball/Volleyball Court;
*Pool table hall;
*Snack Shop;
*Break Area that seats 88;
*Climbing Wall;
*and DJ Sound Booth.

Still to come in the days ahead:
*9,000 more square feet to develop
*2 more batting cages
*9 hole putt-putt course
*indoor driving range

Last year over 17,000 youth
attended "The Factory." Would
you like a place like this to
hang out in your town?

Some people would see empty
space; Mike Cooper saw 
"The Factory."

What do you see?

Look for what can be done!

Former United States Attorney
General Robert F. Kennedy
often said, "Some men see
things as they are and say
'why'.  I see things as they
can be and say 'why not'!

When you go through Fairmont,
West Virginia, stop by 70 Maranatha
Drive. You'll find one of  the best
youth centers in the world.  There
is a 'Factory' waiting for you!

There is a DREAM waiting to fill
empty places in you and around you!

DREAM ON!
