LegalEagle50 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I hope you'll forgive me if I don't hold my breath over legally binding documentation over a drum corps website. any sale of an entity of any type needs to have paperwork that is legally binding documentation. just an FYI. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 yep, and in that documentation, you can lay out the terms of the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiamiSun76 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 what if we gave there too? or Friends of DCI? or sponsoring members of corps?dont paint all with that brush, you're going outside the established lines I thank MikeD for helping clarify the statement. "Saving the Troopers" leapt from my keyboard in an attempt to dramatize the difference between donating to a non-profit and subsidizing a private entity. If people gave money to George/Mike New AND made a donation to a non-profit, good for them. Personally, I'd rather donate directly to a corps, or sponsor a deserving member, but I can see how some may find helping pay the freight here or in helping DCI or DCA at the institutional level as other ways of promoting the activity. That said, if the cash flow is as advertised on e-bay, there doesn't seem to be a need for cash infusions here (but I assume that hasn't always been the case). A word to our prospective new owner: not everyone who makes contributions to non-profits is motivated by the IRS. I've lived through two beloved corps folding due to lack of money and if I and other modest contributors can assure that no other corps meets the same fate, I'll do it.
