To all PBS Members: Thanks to the support of all of our valuable members, PBS has grown more quickly than most of us expected. We are therefore in the process of becoming legally an unincorporated association and applying for state and federal tax exemption. As we have already begun this process, we cannot now deposit checks. We are aware that several of you have sent checks, and may be curious to see that they have not yet been deposited. Rest assured that we are in the final stages of the application process, and as soon as we compile our complete financial information, the applications will be submitted. In the meantime, we are in the process of providing Bank of America the documentation necessary to open and operate a business account while tax-exempt status is pending. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Jennifer at jennifer.hildebrand@att.net. We are dedicated to keeping all organizational and financial information regarding PBS open and available to all members. Thank you all for your support of PBS! Sincerely, Cathy Craig, President Marguerite English, Vice President & Editor Mary Sue Ittner, List Administrator Vicki Sironen, Membership Chair Dell Sherk, SX/BX Chair Lee Poulsen, Secretary Jennifer Hildebrand, Treasurer
