Almost ready

The paperwork is nearly ready to be filed and we are in the process of setting up a bank account, a post office box, and getting a phone number.

Thank you to those that have already sent in donations. We are currently trying to raise about $1000.00 for start up costs, $750.00 of which goes to the IRS for our tax exempt status. We are not able to open our bank account or PO Box until we have our tax id number. If you or someone you know is comfortable donating without us having our tax exempt status yet, we would love to start accepting more donations. We have software set up to generate receipts and will send those out for your tax deduction purposes as soon as we get registered. If you would like to give, please E-mail me and I will give you donation instructions. Once we get our PO Box, I will post it on the site.

We also had a brainstorming session recently to gather ideas for fund raising, and discuss logistics of getting started. If you have any ideas for fundraising or other suggestions, we would love to hear them. Simply post a comment to this post or email us by clicking here.

Thanks again for all your support.
