Just got back from the Eagles, where we'll definitely be hosting our tournaments!
We set dates for the first 3 tournaments!
April 27th
May 18th
And June 8th.
We have the space from 1 to 5. I'll need time to set up projectors and everything, the tournament will take about 3 hours, maybe a little more. So Tophgod and I (and anyone willing to help out!) Will show up at 1pm, and everyone else should get there at 1:30 with $20 in…

I spoke with an accountant today who needs to look over specific IRS rules and laws to determine what paperwork I need to file. She'll call me back next week. It's possible there will be a $600 application fee 🤢
Also, going to the Eagles again today around 5 to talk dates and pricing. We may have a date for our tournament tonight!!!

Finally on my way to check out the Eagles club. Hopefully a manager is around. I might be getting a date for the tournament today!

I spoke with an attorney (who was INCREDIBLY rude) who said that an accountant should be able to help me with everything I need.
I called an accountant (firm? Office?) Place and gave them my name and number.
I don't really expect them to call back with this storm.  So I'll reach out to them again on Friday.
I still need to check out the Eagles and talk with the manager there. They said the day they'd next be free to meet is on Sunday.

So it looks like I need to register with the Attorney General and have a contract with each charity I raise money for?? Looking into legal advice this week I guess.

I bought 2 projectors & screens today, should be here by the end of next week!
Things are moving fast towards our first tournament, hopefully in April!

The VFW looks GREAT!
They weren't able to give me a specific price or date as their community manager is out for a couple weeks, but we could definitely use the space.
Hopefully I'll be able to look at the Eagles this or next week.

Haven't been able to set a time to check out the Eagles yet, but I'll be looking around the VFW later today.
Their message didn't mention how much they'll charge so things are in the air regarding venue still.

Things are moving fast towards our first tournament, but theres still a lot I still need while I work on getting a reliable venue.
Namely:

• 2 Projectors
• 2 Sound Bars
• 2 Projector Screens
• A new PS4 controller (so no complaints!)

If you have any leads on where to get these things (high quality needed) for cheap, I'd love to know. Alternatively, if you have any of these and are willing to donate them please let me know! I'd just need them for tournaments, and would return them right…
