Schedule L part IV
Schedule L, Part IV, Business Transactions Involving Interested Persons: (d) Description of Transaction: The Foundation pays Manatos & Manatos, Inc. (M&M) fees for undertaking numerous activities for the Foundation. Such activities can be broken down into the following major projects: 1. Washington Oxi Day Foundation Annual Dinner a. The Oxi Day Award - In an effort to secure an award winner who was both worthy of the award and who would bring to the award maximum visibility among policy-makers and world opinion leaders, M&M utilized its personal relationships with Congressional, White House and private sector leaders who have access to such individuals. This moved dozens of high level American policy-makers and opinion leaders to learn more about the subject of Oxi Day as they nominated individuals who they know and who they believe are worthy of the award. Given their national stature and the hordes of people trying to get to them, their telephone numbers and email addresses are not readily available but were secured by M&M. This resulted in a number of nominations which M&M had to examine and evaluate. After identifying the most desirable individual to approach for involvement in the Oxi Day Foundation celebration -- the internationally renowned singer and human rights activist, Bono -- M&M utilized many expensive chits in an effort to secure his active participation. M&M secured his nomination of the Oxi Day Award winner - John Githongo of Kenya - as well as Bono's agreement to participate as the introducer of Mr Githongo. As a result of these efforts, Bono was deeply involved in the story of Oxi Day. b. The Battle of Crete Award - Like the Oxi Day Award, it was difficult to secure the personal contact information of the dozens of policy-makers and opinion leaders, particularly women, who would be willing to learn about Oxi Day and nominate a female award recipient for the Battle of Crete award. After securing such contact information for each of these American leaders, M&M had to contact them for their nominations and to follow-up those contacts numerous times to focus these leaders on this subject. M&M then selected from among these nominees the most worthy individual who also might bring maximum exposure of the record of the Greek people in WWII. The selection of Berta Soler as the award recipient was made particularly difficult in light of US relations with Cuba. M&M had to call on very high-level individuals who explained to the recipient who M&M is and what the Battle of Crete Award is all about and to encourage her to accept the award. c. Participation of Other Key Policymakers and Opinion Leaders in Dinner Program and Event -Again M&M utilized high-level contacts in the Congress and White House in order to secure the participation of the following individuals. The former Speaker of the House and current Minority Leader of the House, Nancy Pelosi; the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Bob Menendez and the Chairwoman of the Middle East Subcommittee, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. To further the understanding of Oxi Day, M&M utilized its connections with major policy-makers and opinion leaders in order to secure over 100 members of this group to attend the dinner and learn in detail the contribution of the Greek people in WWII. Extensive efforts were made to secure the optimal number and level of invitees. This resulted in the Oxi Day dinner containing 24 foreign government representatives, numerous State Department officials, senior people in the American media, and others. 2. Washington Oxi Day Foundation Annual Presentation of the WWII Greatest Generation Awards M&M worked closely with the Embassy Greece to the US in determining which Greek WWII veteran M&M worked closely with the Embassy Greece to the US in determining which Greek WWII veteran should be recognized with the Greatest Generation Award. After sifting through numerous candidates, M&M had to convince the recipient to fly to America to receive the award. To secure the most deserving Greek-American honoree, M&M conducted a survey within the community. Once it was narrowed down to the deceased father of Dennis Mehiel, extraordinary efforts were undertaken to arrange for the extremely busy Mehiel to schedule his involvement and to participate. It was successful. Extraordinary high-level chits were spent in an effort to secure the participation of an American WWII veteran who could also bring policy-maker and opinion leader focus on Oxi Day. After extensive efforts, M&M was able to secure the participation of the longest serving member of the US House of Representatives, Congressman John Dingell. M&M then undertook extraordinary efforts to secure an audience of over 50 people including representatives of over 20 foreign countries at the WWII Memorial. The inaccessible location and middle of the day timing for this award made such a successful turnout very difficult. 3. Washington Oxi Day Foundation Annual Presentation of the Metropolitan Chrysostomos Award A wide survey was taken to identify people who have shown great courage in the fight against discrimination and anti-Semitism. After securing the nominees and selecting the best match, M&M undertook the effort to get the participation of the world-renowned Executive Director of the American Jewish Committee, David Harris. After securing Harris' participation, M&M secured a room in the US Capitol complex for the presentation of the award. M&M then secured the participation of a former US Ambassador to Greece to make the presentation and for the head of the Hellenic-Israeli Caucus to make remarks about the award and the award winner. M&M then undertook extraordinary efforts to secure the participation of 40 people to be present at the presentation of the award. 4. Activities Throughout the Year a. The Philotimo Video, received over one quarter of a million viewings during the first two weeks after its release in September of 2014. Extensive work on the video was begun during 2013. Detailed research was required to identify new record setting findings regarding Greek conduct during WWII and particularly the Holocaust that would justify various statements made in the video. For example, a lot of research, travel and interviews were required to verify reports that the Greeks at Auschwitz reportedly sang the Greek national anthem as they were being killed and to learn details about the father of Israeli President Shimon Peres who was hidden from the Nazis for two years. A large number of letters, emails and personal meetings around the country were required for M&M to be able to secure, one at a time, the participation of 29 leading Greek-Americans like Bob Costas, Arianna Huffington and George Stephanopoulos. As well, M&M carried out all the legwork for arranging times and locations for each of the 29 Hellenes to be videotaped. Extraordinary high-level, labor-intensive follow-up was required. As well, preparation was made for the creation of a scholarship program for young Greek-Americans writing about philotimo. In addition to the securing of the scholarship funds, that contest had to be carefully created in close coordination with Hellenic and Orthodox organizations across the country. This was all done to make sure that the message of philotimo was well learned. b. Graduation Cards - M&M undertook extensive research to determine which Hellene in the world might be best at composing language and carrying out the art work for the Foundation's Hellenic graduation cards. We then secured the world famous Apple branding genius Peter Economides and the talented artist Aliki Theofilopoulos Grafft who is a story artist and writer at Walt Disney Television Animation. M&M then coordinated the composition of four cards and arranged for their printing and wide distribution across the country. To strengthen the message of the Hellenic graduation cards, M&M created two bookmarks containing the highlights of Hellenic history that would be contained in each card given. M&M's research found ancient Greek developments that are unknown to the vast majority of Hellenes in America. It carefully verified the dozens of such Hellenic developments from Hellenes in ancient, WWII and modern American times. This data was carefully arrayed so that young graduates could at a glance understand the extraordinary contributions of Hellenes.
