Troop cooks -The weekly shameless plug

Celtic Wolf · May 2010

Did you know that if everyone on this forum right now went to http://www.americanspiritbbq.com , clicked on the donation link and donated 5 or 10 dollars I could feed everyone on every event I have scheduled.

$10.00 = 4 gallons of gas, 2 pack of cigarettes, 2 $5 lottery tickets, 2 subway sandwiches, 2 KFC meals, 3 gallons of milk, or 6 soldiers, marines, sailors, guardsmen, or airmen thanked for their willingness to defend freedom with their lives. You Choose!!!

If you need proof what I do is legit ask the forum members who have been there with me..

Thank you..

Pete,

Do you have the IRS/non-profit stuff straightened out? I'll rally the guys that gave last year, and if you remember, I can get a friends company to match our total donation up to $250 (I think)

Keep it up as long as you can man

It's awesome what you do.

What a great service. Thanks for doing this for those who do so much more. $10 seems like a pittance, but I chipped in just now.

I have two documents that need to be signed and returned to me. Thanks for reminding me I need to send them out..

Once I get them back everything the IRS wants will be in the way to them.. I think I will need a freight truck to deliver all the paperwork they want..

Hopefully in a month or so. Trust me the forum will probably be the second one to know :laugh:

pete, i thought you were fully documented in the state of north carolina??

Celtic Wolf · May 2010

You can donate more :woohoo:

It may seem like a pittance to you, but when you add up all the $10.00 donations I could feed several hundred members of our armed services and their families. I can honestly tell you I have yet to find any of them who were ungrateful.. It is a real moral boast to them.

Thank you for your donation..

I am, fully documented in NC, but to be deductible on your Federal taxes I have to be 501c3 approved.

Once the paperwork reaches the IRS, per their rules, any donations I receive are deductible unless they determine I am not a non-profit. That won't happen, but I am obligated to tell everyone. Small donations (5, 10, 20) won't make much of an impact on your federal taxes, so till I get the determination letter I keep the begging small.

Rascal · May 2010

I had the same impression...

Celtic Wolf · May 2010

North Carolina and the IRS are two different animals. You have to be a state non-profit corporation BEFORE the IRS will talk to you.

American Spirit BBQ is a NC non-profit corporation.

Greeting
I am a 20 year Army vet from Texas. When I was deployed or station some where in the world and someone brought something to me that remind me of home it made the seperation a little more easier. I know you are touching a lot of young men and women and that little BBQ sandwich can mean so much that soldier, marine, or sailor. It can bring back some good thought of home. When soldier have those good thoughts it makes it a lot easier to deal with the hard thing . So keep up the good work. What is your mailing address?

Celtic Wolf · May 2010

It's on American Spirit's web site under contacts..

Village Idiot · May 2010

loco_engr · May 2010

Celtic Wolf · May 2010

Thank you
