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, |
