RE: Incorporation

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Hi Rick,

Actually the EIN was obtained about 10 years ago by treasurer Linda Morin 
in a totally unrelated process to the incorporation.  She did this because 
the previous treasurer (Warren Holmen) has been using his own Social 
Security Number for GSAS business where required (!). 

Linda may have gotten us re-registered as a non-profit, but I don't think 
she did.  She may have merely gotten some of the paperwork.  This is most 
definitely a landmine we have all been carefully treading around for many 
years and avoiding diging up.
