Good Evening All,
I had a long conversation with Dan today. Among many other
topics, we discussed the status of the donations that the club
has received for him. The money that we've received through
12/31/2020 has been separated out and accounted for in our
club bank account, and we're transferring money to Dan on a
regular basis, with provision for additional transfers if/when
he has larger bills.
One of the things that we've discussed is whether the FCG
continuing to be a middleman on future donations offers any
benefit. As FCG is not a 501(c)3 organization, there is no tax
benefit to donors. We were glad to step in when the rate of
donations was high so that we could handle acknowledging
donations, depositing checks, etc., but as you can imagine the
pace of continued donations has slowed now.
Accordingly, with Dan's agreement, we've decided as of
January 1, 2021 that further donations to Dan can go directly
to him. Checks made payable to Dan Street can go to his call
book address; he can also receive PayPal donations to
k1to@aol.com.
I'm sure we will continue to receive occasional donations
to Dan in the coming weeks and months, and that's OK. It's my
intention that we forward PayPal donations to him, but rather
than going through the gyrations to deposit a check, then
forward a club check to Dan we'll notify the senders when we
receive a check, then shred the check.
If you and your family are thinking of contributing some
money to Dan to assist in his recovery from his tower
accident, please know that it is most sincerely appreciated,
both by Dan and by his friends in FCG. If you are planning to
contribute or know someone who is planning to contribute who
is not on the FCG reflector, please feel free to forward them
this email so that they're aware.
For the latest update on Dan's condition, I would refer you
to Dan's email of a few days ago.
73/OJ,
Chris W4WF
