Exactly - thank you.

I'm a member of several groups that give scholarships and in none of the cases do we have special tax status, etc., - it's more of a case of we give a contribution to a student. No formalities, in other words.

That being said... I'm open to other people's opinions about raising money and to what good it may do for others. We're blessed to be in such a position to do this - really!

Depending on the date of the event I'd be happy to organize the raffle for goodies, as I did a couple of years ago.

I sincerely look forward to see all y'all again. What a great group we have here - let's celebrate it!
