4. Unfinished Business:
a. Tax-exempt Status: The President
reported that the IRS had made two comments in a letter concerning
the association's tax-exempt application. One was for the need of a

as a Veteran's Organization. He noted that this information would be
furnished to the IRS.

b. Reunion Planning: The Vice
President questioned what planning needed to be done for the 48th
Reunion. Individual board members recalled what areas of
responsibility USAMU and MMA had assumed or shared in the past
reunions. The Secretary noted that he had posted a date countdown and
some preliminary information on the MA web site. He said that he
would furnish at the next meeting the previous information packet
sent to each MMA member for the 46th reunion. It was also noted the
USAMU had a Hall of Fame/Reunion After Action Report. Mr. Berry
remarked that reunion information and a schedule of events were
published in the MMA Times. The President suggested that reunion
planning be placed on the April meeting agenda and each successive
monthly meeting.
c. Member Donation Inquiry: The
Secretary stated that an e-mail message was forwarded to him from a
member wishing to donate a rifle to the association. He added that
the association does not have a policy for accepting such items. The
President recommended that the Secretary respond stating that any
donation would be the property of the association and would be used
or disposed of as the association sees fit.
