The IRS has notified MICE of its intention to _deny_ our Application for
Recognition of Exemption. Recall that we filed under Section 501(c)(6),
the classification which includes "business leagues, chambers of
commerce, etc.".
The IRS has suggested an alternative classification of 501(c)(12), which
we understand is very likely to be approved. This is the classification
which includes "mutual or cooperative telephone companies, or like
organizations".
The board encourages all interested members to attend the UG 24 meeting,
July 12, 3:00 pm, at SDN Communications in Sioux Falls, SD.
