: I received the following message from themuseum
: treasurer.
: BT
: "Bob, It's all set up and ready to go.
: Been doing it for several years. Anyone who
: sends money for a specific cause needs to
: identify that cause when the funds are sent.
: We can accept donations online through the
: gift shop, by mail, or even in person. We
: are a 501(c)(3) so of course it is all tax
: deductible.
: There are two problems to be resolved by the
: unit: 1) How long will the donations be
: coming in...there has to be a cutoff point
: (we recommend one year as the maximum)
: 2) What should be done if the goal is not met.
: Once the museum accepts the donation it is
: diificult and expensive to return it. If hte
: goal is $1500 and we get $2000, we keep the
: extra. But if only $1000 is sent, then who
: does what to whom.
: Thanks for all your support out there. You know
: the 119th is also raising funds for the
: Pleiku wall to be built at the museum
: site?"
: jim"
: Wonder who it is? I will contribute to both.
: BT
That's terrific Bob. It's okay with me if they keep anything extra, the whole idea is to raise funds for the museum. I hope they get a lot extra.
I wonder if the other guys are the VHPA group? Chuck Oualline, Bob Heisterman? I don't know who else it might be... possibly "Heli-Vets" guys?
Good stuff.
