I'm not sure how immediately desirous I am of passing this on. Rather, I was expressing concern for what happens when I no longer can do the job. It is pretty much the case that whoever is the VA representative holds the corporate address for LLG, and that address has been mine since we started. When I no longer can do the job, corporate mailing address has to go to the new rep, and that will be a nightmare. There are probably dozens of places on line where LLG's address is in Fairfax, and they have to be changed when there is no one here to handle the mail. (Nora of course is still here, and she is healthier than I am, but she is also 3 years older than me, and feels her lack of involvement in the community more severely than I do.) There really isn't a lot of training needed. Monitor the mail addressed to LLG, and decide who needs to act on it. In recent years, I have done the annual corporate filing myself. That merely means getting the snail addresses of all the Board members and putting them onto a form, then paying the $25 fee, all before the deadline, given 2-3 months advance notice by mail. (And it can be done online). Most everything else that isn't junk mail gets relayed to another LLG officer. Inquiries about Lojban can be handled however one desires, presuming that the person contacting by snail mail probably does not have good Internet access. We have to file a sales tax report quarterly, but the Treasurer actually does that. The VA rep gets told if that report isn't filed. Depending on what else is being done with the business address, one might need to get a business license in the county in question. That might involve other stuff that depends on the locality. For example, I filed a business property tax form for several years. In the early years, I erred on the side of caution because I did not want to get myself or the organization in trouble because of "self-dealing" (which the IRS really doesn't like), since I was founder and President and VA rep, and Nora was Secretary/Treasurer, and the LLG's business office was our home. This isn't likely to be a problem for whoever takes over the VA job from me. At any rate, the VA rep is a problem that is lower priority, though it does need to be kept in mind as an eventual necessity. lojbab _______________________________________________ llg-board mailing list llg-board@lojban.org http://mail.lojban.org/mailman/listinfo/llg-board
