Erika= Your comments about non profit status were interesting - the part about not be able to actively involve oneself in political area - but isn't PETA non profit and don't they do that all the time? Our club has been talking about obtaining non profit status - we did speak with a lawyer and he didn't mention this part - one thing he did say was that you have to have 3 years worth of receipts, and officers need to change every 2 years - could this political activity be at a state level and vary from state to state? Anybody out there who is non profit care to comment? Debbie Riccio WNYFLFA Rochester, NY [Posted in FML issue 1581]
