The Cupertino '64 Foundation - $3000 Challenge!
A lot of folks seem to like the website and want to keep it
going. There has also been a lot of interest in staying
in touch with classmates on an ongoing basis. Two classmates
have put up a $3000 challenge to the class to defray costs
for the website and the next reunion.
This just in from Jim Rodriguez:
Great News!!!
I just received written confirmation from the IRS that they have
accepted
our application for 501(c)(3) tax exempt status. The effective date of
the exemption is from October 21, 2004.
CHALLENGE GRANT! We have formed a
non-profit corporation for the class (Cupertino '64 Foundation),
and two of our classmates have issued a $3000 challenge to raise
money to support the website and facilitate future reunions. Their
gifts depend on the rest of the class donating a matching amount.
We have lots of ideas for improving and expanding the site and
our classmate connections, including a chat/guestbook
area, a photo-index so you can look up pictures of your
friends, a quarterly newsletter and much
more. And of course we'll keep updating the contact information
so you can contact your friends.
Jim has opened a Foundation Account with Bank of the West in Cupertino.
Checks should be sent to his office made payable to the Cupertino
64 Foundation
