I really think it is time for our group to form some kind of professional association. That way our get togethers like the SynthJam we had last May and future ones like January and April could be sponsored by our association and become tax deductable. Also to guarantee that our beloved forum continues, tax deductable contributions could be funneled through the association to Nigel.

I realize that not everyone plays professionally and the forum is international in nature but the US/IRS is even getting us part timers. Practically everything we do on this forum and at the jams can legally be related to our business as musicians.

I don't want to spoil our family/forum with any changes. What I'm saying could be an adjunct to the forum.

Any ideas out there?
