<DIV><FONT size=4>Subject: [Vision2020] Making the Financial Best of the New
Year</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><BR></FONT></DIV><FONT size=4>> Dear Friends of Vision
2020,<BR>> <BR>> January can be a financially sober month, can't it?
The thrill of the holidays evaporates, leaving a sheaf of bills behind.<BR>>
<BR>> In the interests of spreading financial solvency across Moscow, I'd
like to invite everyone to take advantage of a scheme that I recently discovered
at work right here in our fair city, and which appears to be entirely without
negative consequences. If this doesn't perk up your wallet, I don't know
what will!<BR>> <BR>> 1. Start a boarding house. Don't bother
with a conditional use permit. Just get two or three renters into your
house--or more if your place'll hold 'em and you don't mind acing the neighbors
out of all available parking.<BR>> <BR>> 2. Create a non-profit
ministry in your home. Give it a classy name, and register it with the
Secretary of State. Don't worry about actually filling out all that
annoying paperwork and expense to become a 501(c)3; just assure the State of
Idaho that you really are a non-profit. They'll take your word for
it. And remember, only *you* define ministry. Eating, talking, and
reading can be acts of worship. Heck, get your boarders to do yardwork or
wash the dishes--I have it on the highest authority that "laborare orare
est."<BR>> <BR>> 3. Wave that magic "non-profit" wand over the rent
payments and watch them turn into "donations." Those people you used to call
boarders? Now they're "guests" who make tax-deductible donations to your
ministry. That way they get to claim their rent as a charitable deduction,
and you get to take their rent as a donation to your ministry, not as
income. Everybody wins!<BR>> <BR>> 4. Convert every possible
expense related to your home into costs for running your "ministry."
Hardwood floors need refinishing? Glory to You-Know-Who! New chairs
for the Board Room? You betcha!<BR>> <BR>> 5. If I were you,
I'd go for the brass ring. See if you can't convince the commissioners to
give you a property tax exemption. After all, a non-profit ministry is a
non-profit ministry. If the Ursuline nuns aren't paying, why shoudl
you? It's worth a try. And if enough people do it, even Rose Huskey
and Saundra Lund won't be able to keep up with the appeals. You'll be home
free.<BR>> <BR>> Of course, at our house we've got a leg up on the whole
process--Joan's already been ordained. But the Universal Life Church
stands ready to offer any of you all the same legally-binding ordination at the
click of a mouse. <BR>> <BR>> Why delay? Start this simple
process today, and reap the cash-flow benefits your neighbor may already be
enjoying.<BR>> <BR>> Melynda Huskey<BR>> <BR>>
