SUBJECT | Subject: [hangout] NYLXS: Non-profit Status
|
Just a point and consideration:
NYLXS is a legal non-profit and if folks are considering making donations to useful charities, we would be honored and put to good use any donationations folks can make.
I don't think I need to list all the work NYLXS has made over the last 3 plus years, and even over the last few months. Many members have made sizable personal contributions, and the NYLXS balence sheet is rightfully low :)
We don't sit on money or waste is by hiring staff, but put dollars directly to work in educational programs and community support. Anyone who would like to make an end of year donation, please make a check payable to:
NYLXS Inc
and you can send it to:
NYLXS 1600 East 17th Street Brooklyn, NY 11230
NYLXS has been protective of its independence in activity and action, and as a result, we are the ***ONLY*** local Free Software organization with our own education center, library, independent servers, and the hardest working group of volunteers.
A donation of a $100.00 for folks who can afford it can allow us to continue to float our expenses over the coming year.
Ruben
PS - For those who still owe their membership dues, this would be a good time to settle accounts with Peter Siegel.
