Lynda, I really like that one..... I'll have to think on it, but I really think that's great!
Just an update, it just so happens that one of the ladies in our neighborhood association (who I've been helping stuff envelopes and send stuff out for the association) is a lawyer, and she just started her own non-profit organization geared towards providing legal assistance/start up advice to other non-profits. I couldn't have asked for a better coincidence. She is more than willing to help us draft our bylaws and all the other necessary items to get our licenses and then file with the IRS for non-profit status.
She is a mom of twins and just had major foot surgery, so this may take a bit of time to get accomplished, I'm hoping no longer than about a month to get it all done and submitted to the secretary of the state, but she will be doing it for FREE and I'll just have to pay for paper, printing and such at this point (since she just started up her non-profit), but everything else is FREE!!!!!!!!!! I'm so thrilled.
