Group News
 August 2009 - I've been remiss in updating this page since taking over my duties as President of the group back in January. I think I have it mostly figured out, and this, I hope, is the final piece of information I was missing out on. I'm not sure what Hank, the previous President, put up here each month as I don't have an archive, and was unaware of this page until recently. I guess I'll find something to put up here, and show it off to the world.
One of my more lofty goals as President is to get official non-profit status established for the CSFWG. I'm putting out a call for a volunteer (or two) to assist me in this manner. I a good sense of business, but little experience with non-profits. I have a great book given to me by Hank Snider that I'm just now getting into, but I need more guidance in the practical side of things. I need to know which forms to fill out, which agencies to contact and what details I need to establish before filing for non-profit. Help, please?
