Non profit organizing

Fellow Flatheaders,
I spent another in depth phone conversation with Brad Robinson of the Mt non-profit group this morning. We are lacking charitable contribution goals and alliances. I was recommended to get in touch with Sec of State and inquire about un-incorporated cooperative or association. This may provided some tax benefits. Mr. Robinson believes we will fall under the scutiny of the Dept. of Rev. and more likely be declared a 501(c)6 organization--without the tax bennies. I will be contacting the Sec of state and I will be in touch. I have a feeling that as we approach our 2008 busy season this may take some time. But little by little we'll crack away at it.

I was also doing some poking around in the "State of Montana" looking for opportunities to market and get some exposure. I found that only Bitterroot and Lang Creek were registered as made in Montana Products. I think this is worth while opportunity to align ourselves with Montana as a whole and obtain some good exposure and belong to another well respected organization. Each Brewery as an individual should consider becoming a "made in montana" product. Check it out at www.madeinmontanausa.com

I am loving the Art work Dave! The new logo looks like a great Pocket logo for the front of a shirt and the big logo on the back. Just a thought. Thanks again and lets keep talking.
