Donation sent. Thanks to ASCA for all they have done. Getting rid of the scary ass hardware out there is reward enough.

a donor must have a bank record or written communication from a charity for any monetary contribution before the donor can claim a charitable contribution on his/her federal income tax return
Greg,
The above was taken from the IRS guidelines for nonprofit reporting.
For all the years I made donations by check I always received a letter from ASCA with your tax id number on it. Over the past 3-4 years I have made the annual donation through paypal and there is never a document from ASCA. The paypal receipt names ASCA but has no information on the non-profit ID. I'm not sure if the IRS considers a paypal receipt a "bank record".
The purpose of the acknowledgment from ASCA is not to get one's ego stroked, but for us at the intersection of compulsively organized and previously-audited by the IRS (venn diagram needed).
Perhaps this can be accomplished by just incorporating the ASCA tax ID into the part that prints from Paypal.
Regards, Phyl

ASCA tax ID# is 68-0419449
I need to figure out why those responses aren't going out, Chris was handling them and I didn't realize responses aren't going out to paypal donations.
We try to get responses out to everyone. Technically speaking, I think the IRS regulations state that donors are required to have a receipt for donations of $250 or more.

Greg,
although the techniques for re-using 3/8" holes are still in their infancy.
I do not see where the problem is in reusing the 3/8" empty hole but achieving its vacancy when there is a 3/8" wedge bolt occupying the hole.
Drill the stainless steel out with a cobalt bit?

I was wondering if I can go out and learn how to replace old bolts with someone? I would love to re-place some of the old bolts in SEKI with own money and on own time. Even though I know how to place bolts, I don't know how to remove old ones properly, re-use holes etc. Is it possible to follow someone at some point when they are replacing?

The Tollhouse Faceoff coming up on October 25, east of Fresno, has donated all proceeds to ASCA the last few years. I think we raised $1,000 for ASCA last year. Come by this year, have some fun and help support ASCA.

The awesome team at Planet Granite climbing gyms will match up to $20,000 in donations to the ASCA from anyone nationwide for October and November! This includes everyone who responded to our earlier donation request, so we are already 1/4 of the way there!
The ASCA is a 501(c)3 organization, so donations are (typically) tax deductible. Please donate now and see your donation matched by Planet Granite!
Planet Granite has gyms in San Francisco, Sunnyvale, Belmont, and opening in a few weeks in Portland, Oregon! This is the 4th year that Planet Granite has helped raise the bulk of ASCA's annual budget. Please support them if you can - see www.planetgranite.com for more.

Vitaly,
the upcoming Pinnacles National Monument(er, uh, Park) rebolting season is just about to get underway. Clint and I will let you know when our next outing is scheduled and you can tag along. Bring a headlamp. Sunset doesn't mean that the work stops.

Bump for the ASCA.
In light of the recent bolt failure, I'm sure Greg has a new laundry list of hardware that desperately needs replacing.
Stay safe people. Pony up, new bolts don't grow on trees (unfortunately).;)
