Dear GBNC Members,
We are in the process of making GBNC a tax exempt organization. IRS record shows that GBNC became a tax-exempt organization in 1998; however, no tax filings were done by GBNC with the IRS since 1998, hence, we can not apply for tax-exemption under our current name. We at the GBNC council are considering changing GBNC name. I urge all of you to suggest GBNC council a new name for GBNC. I need you opinion in this regard.
Please post your comment here or call me at 617-548-2219 or e-mail me at suryathapa@hotmail.com, president@gbnc.org

Regards,
Surya Thapa
President, Greater Boston Nepalese Community (GBNC)

Romanticized (who conceptulized BONE)

Not a bad idea. And I would like to classify that hard calcified tissue. (i have gained my notoroity by classifying people: men and women and in the process of classifying guests)

1. Supporting Bone: helps once a while other wise passive with the activities. Orgs need these.

2. Main bone: that takes the whole load of the organization: from the planning phase of the activities to the execution. Oh spines of a organization.

3. Knucle bone: Not only criticizes the activities of the organization but also become physical once a while. This kind can become very useful if handled properly.

4. Jaw bone: One who talks only and delivers minimum. Worst kind.



I did a quick search at the mass.gov (non profit and corporation) with the greater boston nepalese community and nothing came up. However there was a company called GBNC which was dissolved in 1983. I don't think it will be at all a problem to re-register with the same name/ acronym GBNC.

I forgot to add

BONE HEADs in an organization.

"Did Mr. President get approval for changing name from the board of directors and, most importantly, from GBNC community members?"
I don't think the Board of directors have a say in this at all. Cause they have not done crap. As far as the people of GBNC is concerned ..They will be glad that they finally have a legitimate organization. I really think there is something fishy going on in here. We still do not know who registered the organization as non-profit ? Why didn't the board of directors enforce the Presidents to file the taxes ? I think we should hold all the people involved accountable.. ie Board of directors, past presidents, the executive members.....etc etc

WE WANT SOME ANSWERS.

Once again I thank the current president for at least taking the initiative...Unlike those board of sitting ducks.

Yo Damodar aka Dada_giri kya change bhako?

Pahile ta bada halla garthoyou..aba ta Surya Thapa ko yaar bhayo!

Oops,

Katai GBNC ka current president le chalakhi gareka ta hoinana...
As it happens in England's Mirror tabloid. With big bold chars
"Past Presidents exposed..."......
Well, mathematically,

England = New England - New

So, whether GBNC is following same old English trick of exposing
past presidents when you can not do anything NEW.... i.e. new
way of exposing past president's weaknesses.... Otherwise,
before exposing the weakness of past presidents "Not filing
TAX stuffs: I guess is a serious weakness..." ....

In last election of US Presidency, we did not see who will do best
for country, but we saw a debate on who can be a less bad president.


I think the thread is misleading because current President did not
drill all possibilities before exposing past president's weaknesses.

A well wisher of GBNC.

GBNC rocks,

I think GBNC shouldn't change its name.
That will be a stab in the back to honest members/volunteers like me who had been very proud to be a part of such a popular community. It's one of the oldest Nepalese Community in the states and it's glorius days can be hardly forgotten. As the problem stems to resolving the IRS tax exemption issues, I believe MR. President (Surya dai) or anyone from the Board should make an appeal to the IRS directly. As someone earlier posted, those issues for non-profit organizations are easier to resolve, I bet it's worth a try. But again, if there are penalties (like monetayr fines), and those penalties are not that HUGe, maybe we can find volunteers to DOnate to keep the GBNC name alive. I surely will donate.

For now let's not talk about Changing the Name. Let's look for the alternatives.

GO BOSton,

a loyal GBNC member/volunteer

शिरिष जी,
तपाईँ गलत हुनुहुन्छ।
त्यस्तो गहिरो गजल लेख्नेले यस्तो भ्रम बोक्दा मलाई चित्त दुख्यो क्या।
हिजो पनि देख्या थेँ नबोली बसेँ।
पछि कुरा गरम्ला। म, म हो दामोदर जी दामोदर जी हो।
