At our last board meeting, we voted to end this non profit. My dream to grow the company was more difficult than I expected. Like everything else, time was in short supply. Also, the economic times we are in now are not conductive to raising funds. I have other projects to work on and keep me going. I will take the knowledge that I learned in forming and running a non-profit corporation and use it again in another time and maybe another place. Thank you to everyone who have contributed to the Southern Philippine Children’s Shelter.
We are at Borders Books in Dickson City, Pennsylvania today and tonight gift wrapping. Come visit and I’ll gift wrap your books or gifts.
Our new theme has been upgraded to 1.5. I always seem to be upgrading something. Now lets hope everything works ok.
Uodate: the upgrade did not work and I am now back to 1.0. I’ll wait till after the holidays to try the upgrade again.
I’ve taken some time off to clear my brain after a long school year. Today I upgraded this site to WordPress 2.8 using simple scripts. I tried doing it manually but messed it up. I had to revert to a two week old backup. After upgrading to WP 2.7 via Simplescript, I upgraded to WP 2.8 via the automatic upgrade feature.
I’m going to open a Twitter account so I make some contacts in the non profit industry. I hope this will give me some sense of how others are running their non profit. Since we are so small, it is difficult to find the time to make these contacts and follow through on implementing ideas for fund raising. I still have the vision in my mind to build a home and school to help these kids out of poverty and complete their education. I have also completed our 990 form and it has been accepted.
We spent the last of the money on Raymond for some other food items. I’m not sure how long this food will last. I hope we could do more in the future and for next Christmas season. Thank you all for you donations.
