Web Site Update

Slowly it happens.
We are moving further towards having our own web site.
As mentioned previously we have 3 sponsors already and a fourth looks very promising.

To account for sponsor funds, membership fees and any other cash inputs as well as manage outgoing funds we intend register ourselves as a non profit organisation, e.g.’ “Bushtracker Owners Group Inc.”
Steps have already been taken to commence registration procedures.

Surplus funds are to be directed to charity, in our case the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

I have approached an accounting firm in Sydney and asked them to quote to administer the registration procedures, to open a BOG bank account and give us a central mailing point to receive funds.
“Motley” Peter is doing the same in Victoria and then we will work with the firm best suited to us.
This will ensure total transparency with regard to the handling of funds.

With sponsors coming along the membership fees will reduce considerably from our first assessments. At this stage I am thinking of a joining fee of around $25.00 per van and an annual fee of around $10.00
To keep around this fee level we need 100 members plus. I anticipate reaching that level of membership as we already have 100 van owners on our data base.

I have a prepared form letter that may be sent to any company that you think may be interested in sponsoring us. If you require a copy send me an e-mail.

This paragraph is an extract from the letter.
“......We intend to offer sponsors a page of their own on our site where information supplied by you may be used as a form of advertising. A direct link to your own web site would be incorporated.
Advertorial comment would be most welcome, as would be any ongoing input such as new product releases and service bulletins......”

Any questions?
