Solicitation form, TN Charitable Organizations, helping UMD intern set up two community meetings, and helped UMD intern make music contacts

Today I did further research about the solicitation form that UMD would need to apply for in order to become part of Community Shares. I learned that in order to fill out a solicitation form UMD would need to be registered as a charitable organization with the Tennessee Secretary of State Office of Charitable Organizations. I have begun to fill out the required forms and hope to send them in soon. I also helped a UMD intern, Sam Chillaron, set up two community meetings/ workshops in Eagan, TN at the Clearfork Community Institute and in the Davis Creek Community at the Parent Resource Center in White Oak, TN, two coal impacted communities that UMD has been working with for a few years now. These two community meetings will be trainings in the citizen's rights that are granted under the Surface Control and Reclamation Act of 1977. I also provided a more complete list of musicical contacts for UMD intern, Sara Henry, who is working on the creation of a new Mountain Justice songbook.
