We finally did it! Ferret Friends is now a 501c3 organization. We had the help of the Foundation Group in Tennessee which was recommended on this list. The final approval came quite quickly after the application was submitted. My thanks to Dian Curran, our treasurer who really took care of all the paperwork in the face of lack of any records from the previous treasurer and pushed to get this done. The fed's fee went up significantly because we couldn't get a report in on time because of the lack of old records but it will be worth it. I would encourage any other shelters to persue this if you haven't done so already. Happily, Carol Owens, President Ferret Friends, Inc. Tucson AZ [Posted in FML issue 5362]
