1. Request. A banking facility to establish XXXXX, a non-profit welfare agency under Section 501(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code, proposed per the following general terms detailed in ‘Annex A’:
Amount: $200,000 Line of Credit
Life of the Line: two (2) years, extendible by one year increments
Annual interest rate: four and one-half percent (4.5%; Prime PLUS 50 basis points)
Source of Repayment (per ‘Annex B’): available operating cash flows as forecast below
Item 2017 2018 2019
Principal Repayment $35,000 $70,000 $74,750
Interest and Fees $7,852 $5,499 $1,947
Debt Service $42,852 $75,499 $76,697
Available Cash Flow $115,964 $254,553 $306,686
Debt Service Coverage 2.7x 3.4x 4.0x
Overview of XXXXX. XXXXX will provide upper-end transitional housing for four to eight adults suffering
from various behavioral addictions that have emerged as treatable, chronic mental conditions over the last
generation. XXXXX, through its referral network and advisory board, will make state-of-the-discipline
therapies available to residents who have completed in-house rehabilitation programs for one to three months
(30-90 days).
The therapeutic goal for XXXXX is to provide a disciplined and supportive environment so residents can
continue to unlearn destructive behaviors by replacing them with suitable habits to cope with the inevitable
stressors in life, which trigger impulses toward relapse. With a daily regimen of specific therapies as well as
12-step meetings and other developmental activities, as detailed preliminarily in ‘Annex C’, these residents
will repair themselves and their damaged relationships for a seamless reintegration into everyday living.
The entrance criteria for acceptance into XXXXX will include, but not be limited to, the following:
1. released in good standing from a residential rehabilitation center in the last three (3) years;
2. payment of monthly residence fees, now set at $15,000, preferably due on the first of each month;
3. no convictions, unresolved charges or past records of physical abuse of, or assault against, others;
4. signature of a residential contract to abide by facility rules and therapeutic discipline; and,
5. acceptable credit history and identified second payment source.
XXXXX will also host two one (1) week seminars each year for up to ten (10) families for each seminar at
$10,000 per family.
Marketing Summary. Please refer to ‘Annex D’ which documents the general absence of adequate
transitional housing for recovery from recently identified behavioral addictions. Compulsive behaviors have
traditionally been viewed as manifestations of a primary substance abuse. Only in the last generation have
effective therapies emerged; the most prominent of these remains the ‘thirty-task-model’ pioneered by Dr
Patrick Carnes, a discipline at the core of XXXXX’s therapeutic mission.
XXXXX will position itself in the market through a number of initiatives undertaken with top-tier residential
facilities per ‘Annex E’. The depth of XXXXX’s management team will accelerate these initiatives with
residential rehabilitation centers programs that do not specialize in behavioral addictions but recognize their
impacts as concurrent disorders and those very few that do. A secondary source of residents will be qualified
applicants referred individually by certified behavioral addiction therapists.
The initial offering taken by XXXXX to the market will be a ‘minimum viable product’ to be improved through
the feed-back received from the initial residents to improve the center’s efficacy, over time, in the long-term
and sustainable recovery of struggling substance and behavioral addicts. Of course, as the product itself
improves, the price will increase to monetize the value of the services proffered by XXXXX toward the upper-
end segment of this emerging niche in the market of transitional housing.
Management Team. Detailed in ‘Annex F’, the XXXXX management team has a century of cumulative
clinical, start-up and business experience. Operating facilities will remain in compliance with applicable state
laws and best practices of the various industry alliances at all times.

10. FUND-RAISING REMARKS
Thank you, Virginia. As you may know by now, I am Dan Drennen here tonight from
Alabama as the only man in the room without an accent.
Let me open by saying that Miss Virginia Baltzell has been a friend for many years.
Our friendship remains close to my heart because Virginia has always encouraged me
to pursue my dreams.
Her willingness to enable my life’s work amply proves everything one could ever cherish
a friend for being.
So, Virginia, I thank you, deeply.
Your stepping forward makes this beautiful, historic structure available to our work.
Ladies and gentlemen, Virginia Baltzell’s leadership literally means advanced and
cutting-edge care for people who have lost everything that really counts in life.
First of all, just what is Serendipity and whom do serve?
We are a non-profit focused on recovering substance abuse and behavioral addicts –
people similar to us gathered here with that one crippling, insidious difference.
And so, we shall work together with addicts committed to, and investing in, a gentle re-
integration into their families.
Now, let’s be honest, here: we all wince, at least a little bit, when we hear the term
“halfway house”.
A great idea but in somebody else’s neighborhood.
11. And, yes, I share this aversion with you, too.
Nevertheless, not all transitional living arrangements entail spill-over risks.
Our entrance criteria will exclude anyone with a pending allegation or past felony
conviction or another indicator of dangerously anti-social behavior.
Any resident found to have misrepresented his eligibility or who engages in precursors
to such behavior will be summarily dismissed without refund of that month’s residential
fee.
Entrants will have successfully completed intensive in-house residential rehabilitation
treatments so Serendipity can remain a safe-haven of spiritual convalescence.
The treatment itself will be a twenty-four / seven regimen of intensive patient-centered
behavioral modification treatments to anchor a newly learned spiritual discipline.
Limited play-time will enable residents to learn to relax inside their own skin.
This recreation will include short week-end excursions to Fairmont Park – as we all know,
one of Virginia’s brightest babies – so residents can re-learn the everyday pleasures of
everyday life to supplant addictive behaviors.
These groups create the peer-based accountability necessary to curb individual relapse.
As a non-profit organization, however, Serendipity will require the beneficence of people
like y’all to make its start.
Tonight, I ask you to join Virginia and me in starting Serendipity by donating one
thousand dollars over each of the next five years to establish our operations, first here
in Chestnut Hill and then in similar venues around North America.
12. In making your decision, I implore you to think of someone you know and care about
who suffers with behavioral addiction and imposes collateral damage on his loved ones.
A decent man needing your help to renew a life of dignity and loving-kindness.
It is he – in your mind’s eye – for whom you step forward this evening.
Thank you for your time and courtesy.
