Hi, Charlie and Greg:  Sounds good.  Make a business plan that shows how 
you'll make a LOT of money, and all the profits can go back into making 
your nonprofit project expand and grow successfully.

Send me the name you've chosen to start with, such as the Dallas 
Community Recording Studio, or whatever.  Also send a postal address 
where I can send an agreement for you to look at.  All our services are 
free, so don't worry about spending any money for equipment or stuff, 
until we get your first CD done, then you can decide how to spend your 
money to expand from there.
Happy Holidays,
Tom Poe
