[Sagamore Online] Success! [Was: Proving Tax Exempt Status [Was: Website Billing]]

[Dave Allen Barker Jr]

The Sagamore Hills PTA now receives /free/ online hosting from Dreamhost 
(currently, the sagamorehillspta.org domain name and website)! :)

Details of our tax exempt (non-profit) status 
<http://www.9.0ne.org/w/Sagamore_Hills_PTA_nonprofit> are now available, 
including the elusive determination letter 
<http://www.9.0ne.org/resource/6/66/Georgia_PTA_501%28c%29%283%29_determination_letter.pdf> 
I needed.

What finally made it happen?  Phoning the Georgia PTA office, emailing 
them the details of our situation, checking in by phone two days later, 
then voila, an old Georgia PTA president emailed me the document.
