Hey Everyone!
I need some help. I've been thinking since last year about founding a non-profit, tax-exempt organization for he purpose of spreading the cigar box revolution through demonstrations and exhibitions--especially to children in the form of workshops. Since then, the idea has emerged of, if possible, legitimizing the KC CBG Festival as such an entity.
I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the feasibility of this idea, any experience or any insight or advice for me as to how to proceed. I'm really desperate for some help. I'd like to get this established as soon as possible.
Thanks!

I'm thinking...instead of the Kansas City Cigar Box Guitar Project, why not the Midwest Cigar Box Guitar Project, since our festival brings in people from all over the region? It would also allow officers and members from other cities and states!
OK, so here's an update for those of you following. In my last post about this subject, I mentioned the proposed Midwest Cigar Box Guitar Project, which I still think is a great idea. But I'm a big-idea kind of guy, so I brought the proposal to my partner and wife, Sharon, who is, by the way, who came up with this idea, and she, with her detailed way of thinking really helped whittle my big idea down to a manageable size, as I knew she would. Together we've come up with some feasible steps to get to the big idea.
While we still have to come up for a name for the initial inception, we've decided to begin with cigar box guitar BUILDING WORKSHOPS. Any donations we get from, either outside or during the festival, will first go to funding workshops for kids during the ensuing year. How many will depend on the accumulation of donations received and used to furnish these workshops. Make sense? Having seen the rapt interest youngsters display during my concerts and educational exhibitions, I know many will be interested in acquiring, or more importantly BUILDING, their very own cigar guitar. So if any of you are interested in donating cigar box guitars, cigar box guitar-related items or $$$ to help us with that goal, as some of you have already generously expressed interest in doing, thank you,that opportunity will be open very, very soon.
First, we'll come up with a name for the workshop aspect of the Project. I'm open to suggestions.
