[Cz-L] Cemetery clean-up project.

  Dear Czernowitzers,

I have received advice from some of our members in regard to setting up an
organization to handle the cleanup and maintenance of the cemetery and have
come to the conclusion that it is not necessary or feasible to establish an
international tax exempt organization.

  I particularly appreciate the advice I received from one of our members,
  The following is an excerpt from what he wrote me:

> I would simply suggest
> that a special account is opened in a bank, in the
> name of a member of the group who would be appointed
> Treasurer for one year by a simple vote of all
> members. Should he not be re-elected next year, then
> another account is opened, monies of the old account
> transferred to the new one, and the old one is closed.
> The Treasurer, plus at least one or two other members
> (also elected) with full power of attorney, should be
> able to sign alone on this account. The Treasurer will
> not decide on his own what and when to pay to whom:
> this should be the task of a special elected
> committee. From time to time (every six months?) the
> Treasurer and the Committee will send to all members a
> full report. Etc.
> Now, the idea of a small pilot project is a good one.
> So, whatever is decided, it should be done section per
> section, any advance payment should be limited to a
> maximum of 10 % of agreed cost and the balance of 90 %
> only paid after inspection by one or another member
> confirming (with pictures) that everything is done to
> our full satisfaction.

Please, all who respond to this letter, write to the whole list.
Since this concerns all of us, I think it is best that all discussions
be kept open and the information available to all.
