Jerry -
I know the question has come up about going Non-Profit status to be
able to have bank accounts, sell things to raise money, etc. The
issue is the paperwork and cost of registering that. At a town
function the other day, someone mentioned to me that the town had a
lot of organizations (such as youth soccer) registered with the state
as "volunteer associations." They are similar to non-profits, but
only require paperwork once every 4 years, cost of $25 then. Legally
have bank accounts, sell items, etc. I forgot to ask for more info,
but I will try to get more.
