Two major housekeeping announcements:
I. WEDNESDAY FESTIVAL: This dandy feature is the closest we now have to what we used to call a "round-up."
Some things are the same: Nominations of others' writing and your own are most welcome. Also, entries of any age (era) are welcome. This is a great place to share some of your more venerable work! Be sure that entries for the week are summarized and sent with the appropriate URL to WednesdayFestival@gmail.net no later than midnight on Monday. (Hey-that's today!)
There is one major change: We are doing away with the weekly categories, and you may nominate any topic for any week, as long as it's on your blog or another RGBP ring member's. Think about it this way: Potluck Every Week!
One last thing: We are looking for another Festivaller to help with editing and compiling of entries. This fun task would come around once every two months; it takes approximately 1/2 hour to an hour each time. Please respond to RevGalBlogPals@gmail.com if you are interested.
II. REVGALBLOGPAL INC., MEMBERSHIP: Please go to this post to review the info on becoming a member of the corporation, and remember that no member of the webring is required to join the corp. However, filing for incorporation, filing for non-profit status, opening a bank account and getting the required minimum number of checks and getting our own domain cost money, and the folks who have fronted those funds need to be reimbursed.

I just wanted to add to Mary Beth's post the information that we are waiting on getting enough paid memberships to be able to submit our application for 501-c-3 status with the IRS. The paperword is ready to go--but we need the check. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteForgot to say that the fee is $300.
