hi cat (and apo-printshop and apo-president)
i realized going home saturday night, that there was a second reason
why i did not wish to be involved with anne's wedding invitations
it was one of the press shop items i had hoped to talked with you
about after the chapter meeting, but you wanted to help with book ex
setup, and said you preferred e-mail
the first, which i have talked a little about via email, is that
wedding invitations are not good jobs for training or qualifying runs
the second is that AX shouldn't serve for-profit businesses or private
individuals (even members of the mit community)
i won't do either using AX facilities
i wish my service to benefit non-profits and the work they do
doing jobs for private individuals and for-profit businesses also
violates the 501(c)3 tax-exempt status AX has both from MIT and
National (it's more complicated than that, but it isn't worth the
paperwork, even if MIT was willing to let us submit information for
their 990A filing, and i expect it wouldn't pass the IRS regs in most
cases)
other press ops may feel differently about that, but i won't do
anything further for anne's job, or jobs like it
we have enough jobs about that can be used for training and
qualifying. in fact, matt just gave me another that is perfect for a
training run
i'm sure that anne is a fine person, but that isn't what's important
here
there is more i will email about all the above in some days or next
week, as well as the other half dozen or so open topics, but other
parts of my life need attention
i was ill the first week of iap, and quite ill the third week, and
just did many days of service for ax this, the fourth week of iap:
helped with the APOffice reorg, helped decker with her training run,
did the typesetting for the reg day card over several days, helped
kristen run the job over almost 10 hours on saturday, etc.
thanx
