[SJAAboard] Fw: [AANC-Board] California Non-Profit Political Restrictions

[Rich N]

At our last SJAA board meeting an action item was to check with the AANC
about what we could do as a 501-c3 to let the state know about out concerns
over the possible closing of some of the state parks.

Here is a note from Richard Ozer and a link about non-profit political activity.

At the meeting he fleshed out it out a bit more.  I hope his comments will be part
of the AANC minutes.
