Pardon for replying to an old thread. I thought we might have missed this, because I couldn't initially find Nashville 2600's record in the state database. Then I found our exemption letter in the files. It turns out that somebody mistyped it into the database, and we're categorized as "Nashville 2006 Organization". Gotta love state workers. -Tilghman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
