Coley Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I really don't think it matteres wether you select a name or a mission statement first. I do think those 2 need to be done first though. Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaPala Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I agree both can be done togather. I was thinking if we already have a mission statement then a name that closely match that can be coined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted August 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Your right guys..We are trying too kill 3 birds with one stone here...We need a name,so we can possibly use it in the web. addi. and form a mission statement so we know what direction we are heading..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cullin8s Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 I dont have any specific name suggestions only thoughts about what i think it should convey based on some of the suggestions above. It doesn't need to suggest generic or mass produced tackle. The word Custom, Handmade, Independent or something along those lines needs to be in there to give the right impression. More later...

cullin8s Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Ok after going to Thesaurus.com lol i have a name suggestion to add to the list. Alliance of Independent Tackle Craftsmen The website could be Independent Tackle .org or something easier to remember of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Posted August 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 OK, As for the Mission statement..KCDANO has voluntered too head that commity.LAPALA,CRANKER,VOLP1 & MILLSRYNO you've shown interst in this area.Please contact KCdano via PM too work on this.It would be nice to have one hammered out by Friday. As for the name..I'm keeping a list,and tomorrow afternoon all put them up,we will have until Wed. too vote..We will take the top 3,and have a run off on Thursday...by friday we will have a name too!! On the name,If we can keep the word "crafter" or "Craftsmen" in it...I think it lets people know they are dealing with individuals,instead of some huge company..It is just a THOUGHT..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlybass Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 In reply to the request for tax-exempt info.501© of tax codes apply to non-profits.501©(6) applies to Business Leagues.Trade Associations are considered Business Leagues.If this "tackle association" is to also be a "buyer's group" as some have discussed it will not receive tax exempt status.This would be considered a "cooperative" under IRS rules.

Nathan Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Onlybass is researching "for profit" and "not for profit" filing statis for us..Also I've received some PM's regarding a tierd system for the Association,I think it is a very good Idea.(The following two "Classifications terms" are only used too show the difference in the tiers) "Professional" those who have a valid tax ID# and sell their lures "Hobbyist" Those who essentially do this for their own use Those who are in "Professional " class would get greater discounts because of the Tax#'s. From some of the info. Onlybass has turned up,it seems those "Hobbyist" who sell a few baits on the side would greatly benefit come tax time if they filed for their tax ID #'s and filed necessary IRS forms for tackle making..They would also have added benefits from the Association..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaddoxBay Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I like the idea of using Professional and Hobbyist based on the Tax#. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
