X-Message-Number: 7243 Date: 01 Dec 96 04:37:06 EST From: Paul Wakfer <> Subject: Re: Prometheus -- Don't forget ACS! Sorry Edgar, I have not forgotten your personal pledge, which, yes, I understand is to be as a donation through ACS (the only donation pledge so far). Your lump sum $8,000 donation pledge is listed on the Prometheus web site pledgers page as a $1,000 per year pledge. However, I had never received what I understood to be a clear "yes" from ACS that you were ready to accept donation pledges. I now see that I must have misinterpreted what was actually said. Your statement that: ... ACS agrees to accept Prometheus-directed pledges and (eventually) donations subject to a legal opinion (not yet obtained) that this practice is legal and does not jeopardize our tax-exempt status. One possible workaround if there is a problem would be for the donor to purchase Prometheus shares directly, then donate them to ACS. is clearly stronger than what I had understood. I will, from now on, list ACS as being willing to accept pledge donations. I am also glad to see that you make reference to the Prometheus Project at your site. I hope that the other 501(c)3 cryonics organizations will follow ACS's lead as stated here. Thanks for your support in the present and in the past. -- Paul -- Phone: 416-968-6291 Pager: 800-805-2870 HELP TO ACHIEVE - PERFECTED SUSPENDED ANIMATION WITHIN 20 YEARS!
