Guest guest Posted August 26, 2001 Report Share Posted August 26, 2001 Just wanted to let all the newbies know a little about the Rp Foundation... We just got our tax exempt status from the IRS, so everything is starting to roll. We have been working hard on the Foundation for over a year.... and it is finally a dream come true... Our main goal it to make the public and medical professions aware of RP.... we will be having brochures made, fund raisers, and hopefully helping with research.... This is a wonderful cause... as you all know we need all the research and awareness OUT THERE!!!! Dr. Jane Buckner has agreed to work with us.... She is the dr. in Seattle who is doing research on RP.... There are alot of costs, postage.... printing... phone calls,.. etc... We have a newsletter too that Elaine does a wonderful job on... Very informative... No one gets paid for anything that is done.. It is all volunteer.. Barbara A. is in charge of the volunteers... If you would like to help with the foundation in any way, please post and let her know... tell her what your interests are and your many talents.... We have a site for Foundation members too. Right now we are taking nominations and voting on board member. Please get involved in this wonderful Foundation... It will be your foundation... We ask that you donate $15 a year.. of cours more is always accepted. LOL We are working for ALL of us..... (and you get a tax write off besides) LOL What better charity to give to than your own... We also take contributions from anyone who wishes to..... They don't have to be a memeber... If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them.... Thanks to all who have contributed and those of you who have renewed your membership for this year... Any Contributions may be made out to RP Foundation and mailed to: RP Foundation c/o Colloran 775 Bounty Place Manteca, CA 95337 Thank you all for your support in this wonderful cause..
