SLSA emails sent to CSA members group

[regeneration CSA]

Hi all,

Sarah here. So Kevin and I are still in New Orleans. Online at a coffee shop at the moment.  So the last two SLSA emails were sent to the Regeneration CSA members google group.  Not everyone in the SLSA group is signed onto that google group, and it was created for csa members.  I am assuming it was a mistake, but perhaps a good idea to set up a google group for us SLSA peeps.  It could make emailing simpler. Otherwise I usually hit Reply All to the last email  from the SLSA emails and check to make sure everyone is accounted for in the CC box. (If anyone uses this email to Reply to ALL, PLEASE DELETE <regeneratio...@googlegroups.com> from the CC box)

Much love to you all, so glad to see this ball rollin'!

Below are the last 2 emails:

Subject: {csa-members} lawyer info

Hi all, this is the information I got from a potential lawyer, Katy Dunlap.  I know of her through my work with Mohonk Consultations...she has helped to run the Hudson River Watershed Alliance conferences for the last couple years. 

She has experience with setting up her own 501c3, and is a very organized and likable person.

As you'll see, it sounds like she would like to help with filling out the paperwork...don't know how far Jason and Ron have gotten on that so far.

 

Let me know if I should pursue this, I haven't checked out other possibilities.   Maybe you'd prefer someone with specific CLT experience?

 

Louisa

Louisa,

Thanks for the info. Pluses for Katy are:  she has experience setting up a 501(c)3, she is likeable and organized. Possible minuses: she charges an hourly fee, rather than a flat fee; she wants SLSA to file the papers; if there is need for followup, it would be additional monies; sounds like she doesn't have experience with a CLT.  With her proposal, it looks like it would initially cost $1300 to $2200. Could be more.

I think it would be helpful to seek out others who might help and see what they propose and then compare offers.
