Thank you Bill and the efforts of Cunning Stunt Computers. I dropped
off an old 386 mother board and received a warm as well as a
briefing by your partner whose name I can't remember. I am not yet
familiar with your other two business entities, but I am impressed
by an organization that puts its money where its mouth is (old
saying from South Chicago).
Like it or not, the Alaska Linux Users Group, dba AKLUG, is
operational as a not-for-profit. I recommend a list be set up to
handle the organizational traffic to keep the noise off this list. I
am willing to help, but I am not interested is wasting my time. I
have plenty of other volunteer opportunities.
A point here for Greg: AKLUG does not have to have a letter from the
IRS certifying 501(c)(3) status to receive donations. Business
entities just expense the donation as advertising as Bill states,
"will have to [have] a sponsored by section listing our companies".
It is past time to get a business licence and a business checking
account. The first thing to get is the Federal Taxpayers
Identification number. I will be glad to do this, but I don't have
time to waste going off on my own.
