Well, I just heard that the body is done and the neck will be done in about two weeks. Then it is off to Pat Wilkins for the finish and then to Nino to be built. I am thinking early to mid October it will be in Mike's hands.

On the MusiciansFund side of things. I am working on the website currently. I have the bank account ready to go. And I will be setting up the new PayPal account soon.

One small bump. We are short funds for filing with both State and Federal for our 510(c)(3) Tax-Emempt Non-Profit Charity status. Our staff attorney could file it as of tomorrow and we'd have it completed in about two weeks but we are short on the filing funds.

So, any chance we can all chip in over the next 5 days and raise some funds to finish paying for the filing fees?

If you can help go to PayPal www.paypal.com (just like before) and use [email protected] as the PayPal Payee email address.

Thanks guys. This is so close to being up and running. :bassist:

P.S. Bassic83 (Eric) donated us a new computer for the charity. Thanks Eric!!!

We still need other things like a mouse/keyboard, printer, fax machine and a flat panel monitor. If anyone has some of this stuff jsut laying around we'd put it to good use!

Well, Debi cleaned the garage yesterday, so I might could find a keyboard and mouse, but I don't have any monitors lying around...I'm a little bit overdrawn at the bank, so dinero from me will be forthcoming. My pleasure on the PC- the hand crank on the side doesn't get in your way too much, does it? Man, I thought I'd never get rid of that old Commodore VIC-20!!! ;) :D I'll look for a printer, but I don't know if I have one of those that isn't being used or broken.

I have plenty of good OEM keyboards and mouses. Let me know if can't find any. I have a 19" CRT but for pickup only. I'm afraid it would get destroyed in shipping.

Actually, I dig the hand crank. But not when I let go and it flies around and hits me in the face. :D
