Re: [Cz-L] Info. Non Profit Organization

Hello Alison,

Thanks for the information this is very helpful.
I do not know which members of the list live in NY, but if you Alison
and any others members of the list, can participate in this workshop
and then transmit the information to us, it would be most useful.

So far we do not have a committee and I hope that everyone interested
in restoring and maintaining the Chernivtsi Jewish cemetery will make
an effort to gather pertinent information and transmit it to the rest of us.
We need information in order to decide whether to set up an organization
or a corporation, where it should be set up in order to serve our purpose
best, considering that we are scattered all over the world and how to go
about the whole process.
