Gary,
Why would a membership fee ever bee associated with a donation.
What
do you use the membership money for anyways? Does Apple require it?
Our group doesn't charge
a fee and it seems kinda silly to charge people a few to join the group
and then ask others for donations. Just my opinion as a someone new to
the scene.

Hi we are reorganizing our PBMUG with new leadership and the subject of "donations and contributions" arose at one of our Board meetings.
Our incoming President wanted to send out a media blitz announcing that "We're not dead," and wanted to let people know the PBMUG is open to receive whatever they will give us.
I thought I'd pass on a word of caution. For those of you that have not jumped through the hoops to obtain your Internal Revenue Service nonprofit charitable status in writing, please be aware that contributions or donations to your group are not deductible for Federal (or State) income tax purposes as charitable contributions.
Unless you state this clearly, the IRS will assume you meant to imply you are a charitable entity. So if you are going to solicit funds or products (S.W.A.G. too) remember to add this to your communication. A stitch in time, don't you know?
Sorry, internationals, but I don't know the law in your country.

VP/Ambassador
