[General] Makers Local 256 is now a 501c3 Charity

[Sara Neale]

Since most people don't have a "tax person," here's a brochure from the IRS
website that states that while an organization's application for 501c3
status is pending, it may operate as a tax exempt organization. And if the
application is approved, any donations made during that time are tax
deductible.

ML256 was incorporated (i.e. organized) on April 29, 2008:
