Thus, if you are looking for places to make tax-deductible donations I suggest you consider the Kansas City Public Library Foundation. If you do make a contribution, consider including a note thanking them for providing a place for us to meet. <br /><a href="http://www.kclibrary.org/ways-to-give" rel="nofollow">http://www.kclibrary.org/ways-to-give</a>Clif Hostetlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09192652526880912362noreply@blogger.com
