Re: [Cz-L] Meeting in Czernowitz

I am no expert in corporations.
  Can somebody , in simple words ,explain the advantages.
   What does " strong word in the future in Czernowitz" mean ?
     On the Museum , would being a corporation give us more leverage than
now ?
       How ?
         Please excuse my ignorance.
