Re: [Cz-L] on creating a non profit organization

Indeed Sylvia is right: you don't want to go through the expense and
legal mumbo-jumbo with lawyers each time we come together to do some
good works. Let's construct language that allows us the flexibility
to engage in a range of potential activities that we may deem
appropriate. This way, the tools are always ready.

Best,
jerome
