I can NOW announce that we have indeed received our Letter of Determination! (Woo hoo! :)

In other words, this letter officially recognizes that the HCA is currently, and has been since its inception (when the Articles of Association were signed), a tax exempt organization.

What does this mean for the HCA? Basically, it means that:

- any donations made to the group (including ones previously made) are *officially* tax deductible, and

- it gives us added credibility in pursuing joint ventures / event planning with other organizations.

And you can bet we're definitely interested in planning some of our own events. (We've already got a couple of fun events in the works for later this year).

Yay!!!!!

You can see why I’m SO excited.
