Marty,

My wife and I are still planning to be in AC on Thursday. Should we bring things with us for the relief effort or is money the best way to go? Will the Lions Club in SP be taking donations? Thanks for all that you do Marty, you are a kind and generous person.

I'm sure that the Lions Club in San Pedro will take donations. i don't know what to tell you to bring, anything but $$ is so hard to transport.

we tried after keith to get goods down, but what a struggle compared to $$....

enjoy your time in san pedro, i'm sure you will!

For those of you who may have reservations about Marty's private donation server... just take a look at the posts - this guy hasn't slept in 48 hours+... he gets things done!!!

sat 5am to be exact.

:>

I'm IN...let's GO people...
give a little

Let's all give in any way we can.
To the top we go

Marty: I passed on the link to your server to several ex-Peace Corps, and friends and family. Someone asked me about tax deductible status... I really hadn't thought about it. Did that come up with Keith?

In any case, the generosity of many is evident here and I anxiously await positive reports from the SPR crew heading down South tomorrow.

Thanks Marty for keeping the wire live for the past four days... Pepper

we could send receipts if that would help with tax deductibility. i do not know the laws in that regard. maybe someone out there knows what it takes....

Wow ! how many hours sleep did you get ???...

Marty,
Because you are not an established fundraiser, you will need to write a letter explaining what the money is specifically going to be used for, not just a blanket "hurricane relief" statement. You will need to list 3 references on the letter, such as town boards, hospitals, schools, etc.
We have just finished doing this for another project and that is what we have been told by the IRS.
Good job!!!!
