SignWriting List January 18, 2002 Dear SignWriting List Members! I am looking forward to answering your messages. Every message is like a special treasure - such great news from the Arabic Nations, from Nicaragua, Germany, Albuquerque, Iowa, Washington, Spain, Japan and Switzerland.... This Sunday, January 20, is our annual SignWriting Membership Meeting. It is a Board Meeting that we hold every January or February. We are a nonprofit organization. That means that under the US law, our organization is established to "do good for society"....Our purpose is to give to "education". In return, the US government does not tax us on income from donations. So that means we exist by writing grants to Foundations, asking for financial help for our projects. I explain this, because I know that different countries have different laws. I remember, when I lived in Denmark, that there was no such thing as a "nonprofit" organization in Danish law...It was hard to explain it to them... So every year we hold our Membership meeting... We hope to have around 20 people on Sunday... In the past few days I have been preparing the paper work for that meeting. I completed the bookkeeping, and accounting and the Treasurer's Report, and today I completed the Year-End Report for 2001, which I will post on the web next week. All of you accomplished so much in the year 2001, it is quite amazing and I feel grateful for all your hard work in 27 countries. Yes....in 2001, SignWriting was used in 27 countries....I am totally amazed! So I am taking the weekend to focus on the Meeting. I will be back online on Monday morning. I will answer every message next week. And meanwhile, we all will be thinking of you on Sunday, and wish you could be with us! Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! -- Val ;-) Valerie Sutton SignWritingSite: https://www.SignWriting.org SignWriting List Archives: https://groups.yahoo.com/group/sw-l/ To post a message to the SW List: | ||||||||
