On August 12, I received an email announcing a new charitable website. I responded that the Van Wert Area Photography Club had disbanded and disbursed all of its physical and financial assets. I signed it as Rex Dolby, the club\u2019s acting secretary and treasurer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following morning I received an email from\u00a0ChairtableRegistration@<\/a>Ohioattorneygeneral.gov<\/a>. It provided a link to a three-page Final Report and Asset Disposition Form that I needed to fill out and submit before they would close our file.\u00a0Page 1 had three parts, page 2 had two parts, and page 3 had four parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of these nine parts, three required such detailed information that I had to comb through minutes, news releases, old club directories, our checkbook, receipt book, and bank statements to find all the information they wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After several days, I assembled the information and mailed the completed form on September 5. During that time, I was also creating a backup file of all my sources of information and copies of each page of the completed form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The kicker is that I have to keep all this material for three years. At my age, if I croak before then, at least it won\u2019t be my problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On August 12, I received an email announcing a new charitable website.
