Better talk to a good tax attorney before trying this "and then passes the funds to the club" with funds from a (C)(3) to a (C)(7).

The 3 status made our dues deductible (up to the annual limit) which was very helpful when we were low on ...

Time to Buy?

Hi all, any updates on this topic. We're having one of our 2 annual meetings at Soboba Sept 1 and we have this on the agenda. I'm hoping the membership will support moving forward and ideally we'd purchase together to seek maximum discounts. I'll bet the CSS crowd would buy one too.

Cost?

Is there an approximate cost? Would there be a price break if ordering 2 or 3? Other clubs may also want to order.

Why Better Than the Beach

Having just attended the clinic at Wallaby, I can add that the clinic includes the elements of a landing that start several hundred feet in the air.

Soboba

Yes, though it's not as convenient as PG. There is a long road to the top if a group wants to drive. Also they'll have a quad rigged to haul hang-gliders.
