GEARS gets Tax Exempt approval as a 501 (c) (3) Corporation

Woo Hoo.

I submitted our Tax Exempt application on July 2nd, and I was astounded to receive an approval back on August 24th. I'm hoping that the quick turn-around was due to the completness and accuracy of the application.

I have form-a-fobia, which means that I break out in a rash whenever I need to start filling in forms, and tax Form 1023 was no exception.

Anyway, I can now start considering various ways to raise funds for more robotic activities.

In particular I want to start a Subsea Technologies Lab, where I can get area kids and adults interested in underwater robots.
