[FRIAM] City University of Santa Fe

[Nick Thompson]

No.  Tom, I barely file my income taxes.  I have never balanced a checkbook.  You don’t want to know me.  

 

Do you remember who the4th person was?  I think you were there. We were standing on the St Johns Entry road just where it crosses over the arroyo.   Was it possibly George Duncan??  Doesn’t seem like the kind of thing he would go for, but I remember being surprised (and pleased) at the time.

I assume you have been filing the required annual report?  That can be handled online now.

Hello, all, 

 

YEARS ago, when the College of Santa Fe was failing, I started a nonprofit called the City University of Santa Fe which was designed to pull all the educational resources of Santa Fe into one semi-formal organization, which, at the very minimum, would keep everybody informed about what everybody else was doing and maximally, might have provided temporary, volunteer,  faculty to the College of Santa Fe during its time of stress.   It turns out that you can set up a New Mexico non-profit for 25 dollars and ten bucks a year thereafter.  Frank, and tom, and Mike Agar signed on as board members, I set up a website, and then, essentially, nothing happened.   SFAUD took over from CofSF and other organizations I contacted about the possible communication function dismissed the idea out of hand.  AND I lost my website and url, 

 

AT some point, Mike Agar asked to be let go.  As Tom, Frank, and I were leaving a FRIAM meeting one day, I told them that we needed a replacement.  We puzzled on that problem for about ten steps before somebody who was walking with us volunteered.  The problem is that I don’t remember who that person was!  

 

The reason this might become relevant again is, of course, that now the SF University of Art and Design seems to be going down.  In any case I  can’t even shut the organization down unless I get the paper work in order and for that I need another board member.  Was it you?
