TEAA Gains Tax Exempt Status
Henry Hamburger |
|
We have done it: TEAA is a 501c3 tax exempt org! And by the way,
that's with effect from March 2003, in case anyone wants to re-file
last year's taxes.
Thanks first to Joe Malloy for guidance and yeoperson efforts on the original documents. Thanks to all of you who contributed advice and, in several cases, detailed commentary on the fearsome 18 Questions. And thanks to Arlone and Kate for providing motivation by already getting contributions for worthy causes. Contributions to TEAA will go to supporting the two secondary schools that we have selected, one in Uganda and one in Kenya, and a school in Tanzania which is expected to be identified by the Dar-05 group next summer. Checks should be made out to TEAA and sent to: Henry Hamburger 6400 Wynkoop Blvd Bethesda, MD, 20817-5934 henryjh@verizon.net |
| Betty Castor Wins Senate Primary in Florida |
|
Betty Castor (Elizabeth Bowe, 3C) has won the Democratic primary in
Florida's U.S. Senate race. MoveOn.org reports, "Any Senate race
in Florida would be important, but Castor is a particularly appealing
candidate. She's a former state Education Commissioner and university
president who led reforms of Florida's poorest schools and expanded
health insurance coverage to thousands more Florida kids. Betty Castor
is a true progressive with real momentum on her side, and she needs
our help now in her campaign against a well-funded Republican
opponent." Betty attended the DC01 reunion.
It would, I suppose, not be proper to endorse a candidate, especially given our new tax status. There is, however, an appeal to having one of our own in the U.S. Senate. You can figure out what you need/want to do! |

Pack Your Bags for Dar-05
Brooks Goddard |
|
Following a lovely conversation with Mr. Joseph Sokoine of the
Tanzanian Embassy in DC who supplied me with the critical information
that TZ sec schools will not be open in June and will reopen on July 11
and following a conversation with a member of my kitchen cabinet, I have
revised the Dar 05 itinerary.
[webmaster's note: To see the current draft itinerary, click "Dar-05" in the upper left and then "Itinerary" in the lower left.] Mr. Sokoine will initiate communication with TZ Ministry of Ed and with UDSM. He struck me as very interested in our plans and very willing to help. Y'ALL COME, brx [Editor's note:] If you are not on Brooks's list of those interested in this trip and you would like to be included in future updates, you should contact him: Brooks (and Jeanie) Goddard 59 Otis St Needham, MA 02492, 781-444-5988 fax:781-559-8285 goddard@rcn.com |
