The investors — residents of Belton, Independence, Warrensburg and Lee’s Summit — were defrauded through misleading omissions, untrue statements and promises of large returns into investing in Skytec Security Services LLC and Skytec KC LLC. Madasz, Marg, Myers and their companies operated a Ponzi-like scheme to use new investor funds to pay earlier investors. Most investors received virtually none of their money back.

Mission Possible to Purchase Building North of Hy-Vee
Mission Possible is excited to announce that our board has signed a contract to purchase the building due north of HyVee in Grant City. Closing is expected near the end of March, but it will likely take until the end of the year for volunteers and professionals to do the necessary renovations to make the building perfect for Mission Possible.
The quest for a safe, permanent home began more than seven years ago fueled by the leadership and passion of one of our original and long-time board members, Brenda Miller. Brenda passed away in 2018 but she continues to be our inspiration. We honor her memory and are thankful for so many who helped Mission Possible take form in 2004 and evolve over the years.
Many in the community are aware that our hope was to raise enough money, mostly from outside the area, to construct a new building on the empty lots on the square. For a couple of good reasons, we were not able to raise that kind of money, but through generous local donations and years of being frugal in our operations, we will be able to purchase this building and do the renovations.
Highlights will include more than 70% additional space – for our food pantry, for our retail store, and for the area used by our wonderful volunteers to prepare donations for sale and to store out-of-season items. We will have a safe parking lot for volunteers and customers, no steps or ramps, no gravel or ruts, and handicapped parking at the door. And we hope the location right behind HyVee will make a stop at Mission Possible very convenient.
In announcing this decision, we want to acknowledge our “council of experts” who have patiently fielded dozens of questions, toured, researched, and advised, and generally shared a couple of centuries of knowledge and experience. Many thanks go out to Brian Monticue, Duane Warner, Jud Summers, Dennis Downing and Jack Spainhower. We also want to acknowledge the Masonic Lodge for opening their doors to us back at the beginning and allowing both our thrift store and food pantry to take over the first floor of their building all these years.
Mission Possible has always been fueled by the Worth County community. If you want to be part of the wonderful changes coming up, stay tuned. We still have $10,000 of Missouri 70% tax credits available for businesses and those with Missouri business income, and for those who don’t have business income, we have Missouri 50% tax credits. Don’t need tax credits? No problem. We’ll be happy to just send you our heartfelt thanks instead. And if volunteering is more your thing, there will be those opportunities as well.
