* Discuss viability of beginning process for 501 status (Elder)
[align=justify]Discussed various 501(c) non-profit exemptions. Consensus that the Emerald Hills does not fit under 501(c)(3). The Emerald Hills may fit under 501(c)(7) but would not get the benefits of 501(c)(3). Application process is costly and risky because we may apply for (c)(3) but the government could decide that we were (c)(7) and make us (c)(7). No further action taken.[/align]
