Using the Internet

I appreciate seeing more views of the city and orphanage. I think it would be useful for us to put together an overview of the city and orphanage so that members, contributors, and others might relate more easily to the need and what we're doing to meet it. This could be on-line and/or a scrapbook.
Speaking of on-line resources, I'm able to put together a complete web site with a full-featured bulletin board/forum, private messaging, newsletters, etc. The basic site and forum would take only a week or so to set up. We would first need a domain name and service provider.
Other preliminary work includes setting up a 501c3 and bank account. I think the 501c3 is mostly a paperwork drill but I don't have that experience. Has anyone discussed this?

  1. Hey
    We just finished/received our 501C3 for China Tree Chinese school...it takes some time, but not too bad. This is a very good idea...we can check into getting this started. I think we have to have a website...would you be able to set this up yourself? Dan helped get us set-up for First Fridays and China Tree...not sure who our service provider is...will find out.
