Well, the Wright County Historical & Genealogical Society is a Friend of the MOGenWeb Project, specifically the Wright County division thereof. So, since it is incorporated non-profit and since the information on the site is FREE access, I fail to see any difference in WCHS soliciting "donations" and "Friends of IAGenWeb" soliciting funds. FOIAGW is going at it the "right way?" If I've read correctly, they are "in the process" of getting their non-profit status established. Shucks! WCH&GS already has been able to accept gifts and give receipts for contributions (thus making them tax deductible) because of its doing things THE RIGHT WAY! Nothing was accepted until ALL the legal work was done. Seems to me that is MORE RIGHT! And, no money has ever been accepted because of the information on the website because of a promise given to Megan Z. who was NC of the Project and SC of MO at the time I was given the site. Now, it appears that there's a new Sheriff in town and the laws seem to have changed. If what Friends of IAGenWeb is doing and is planning on doing is okay bylaws wise......as we have been told......then, what's fair for one is fair for all. So, let the Free For All begin! Phyllis
