Need a board for my non-profit

So I guess I need to start banging on doors - I need to have officers for my non-profit! Any takers? What does a board of directors do? Sit around and smoke cigars I think!! Ok dear friends and family - get ready for me to start hitting you up for some participation!! Ha Ha!

The IRS

Well it is time to tango with the IRS!! Working on the tax exempt status form........30 pages of directions!!! I've gone thru it 2 times now and am finally starting to understand it! Yeah for me! Of course there is a fee just to file! I've got a list of questions a mile long. I have to do alot of "projecting" so it may actually help to clarify the organization of my idea. I also have to do some narratives. I also have to complete the Banfield Grant application. I also, I also, I also.........ha ha! It will all be worth it!

PS Yes I have lost track of the days so I actually have a title for this blog!

Day 3

More like a month later! Have been doing a lot of behind the scenes things - getting my official non-profit status, registering with the charities bureau, advertizing and so on! I really need to learn how to spell bureau! My notes contain some very interesting reditions!

Did alot of traveling recently - cant wait to build some fences!! Seeing some situations just drives me crazy! UCK! But I digress.......

While I have some personal funds to put into my new non-profit I really need to consider fund raising. Never have been good at asking people for money! Ever look at the New York Social Diary site? I envision a swanky fund raiser as shown on the site! Maybe Real Housewives of NYC star Jill Zarin would host something for me!!! Ok - back to earth! I am stuck on getting a web site - need to find a cheap one and that aint easy!!

Well I have paper work to do and DWTS comes on soon so I best get going!
