Simon: I suggested on this idea a while ago. I'm glad you are seeing the benefits. If you build, they will come.
Advertising opportunities will come after the group has been properly incorporated as a non-profit, and/or charity. I got some heated email a while ago (off list) from people within the TAUG community who disliked the concept of forming an official organization. As mentioned earlier, I would be more interested in offering financial support through my organization if a tax receipt was a possibility. Forming an official organization may also entail some sort of membership fee. There is administrative work involved and some initial expenses involved for proper registration. I sit and assist on the board of a couple of non-profit charities. No question, time and dedication is required, along with initial cost of registration. Most banks offer free or heavily discounted service plans for non-profits and/or charities, such as Scotia Bank. My 2 cents. Best, Reza. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon P.

So I'm just testing the waters ... would anyone be interested in a) advertising in a business newsletter, and b) receiving a business newsletter if TAUG were to produce one? If anyone has other fundraising ideas, please send them :) Cheers, spd --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
