The quorom was asked if everybody is willing enough to become a member of the organization and there was an overwhelming anwer "YES".
Willy also considered the application of the organization as a non-profit organization to the state of California for IRS tax puposes and the legality of the organization.
Advantages of the organization.
If organized, our children will know where their parents come from.
We must involve ourselves for the success of the organization.
