OK, [Redacted] and I talked, and [Redacted] is clear on everything for Friday. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
A quick synopsis of what will happen: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Meeting convenes promptly at 10:30am EDT. Please be on time since we |
| 42 |
have about 1.5 hours of material to cover. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
The two main topics to be covered are the Copyright Form and the |
| 45 |
Trademark form. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Time permitting, we will cover the 501(c)(6) status. If we run out of |
| 48 |
time, we will of course schedule another meeting. [Redacted] and I were |
| 49 |
planning on doing so anyway. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Thanks all for your patience and support! See you Friday morning. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Cheers, |
| 54 |
