• I sent off the Oregon DOJ charitable organizations registration. They also wanted copies of the signed bylaws and articles of incorporation.
• I’ve started work on IRS Form 1023, so we can be recognized as a 501(c)(3). The fee is $850. I’ve emailed the group asking if they can help out with the cost.
• The IRS has a new interactive form for filling out Form 1023. It’s located at www.stayexempt.irs.gov/. I’ve completed the steps on this site and downloaded the interactive form.

I received an email from Walt Hanline the superintendent at Lowell this morning. It contained the following information:

• He has asked an attorney (Andrea Hungerford) to review the proposal.
• Walt and Andrea don’t believe that the charter proposal is complete.
• Walt has asked Andrea to take the lead in negotiating/assisting me in completing the details that they will need to approve the charter.
• He asked me to get in touch with Andrea.
• Andrea has the authority to agree to the aspects of the proposal as Walt’s representative.
• The goal is to update the proposal, so that it is complete and Walt can tell the board that he and Andrea recommend approval.

I emailed Walt letting him know that I would get in touch with Andrea.

Andrea and I have agreed to meet on Friday 11/5.
