Hi Paul/Lolit and Emy/Don,
I received an email last night from our contact in Antipolo that they started excavation for the footings for our project. The family temporarily moved to another location. The father is fully involved in this construction. I asked our contact to email me some pictures as they proceed with this project.
Also, the local Welfare Department already sent the check worth 35,000 pesos to the Bishop of the Ward. Jean wired the rest of the budget (45,000 pesos) for a total budget of 80,000 pesos to buy the materials. Our contact said that it may take 2-3 months to complete this project.
Jean and I decided to go ahead with the 501c3 application. I found an entity in California (Patel&Alumit Tax Exemption Law) who will do all the state and Federal Filing for our Foundation for a cost of about $600 plus the filing fee of $800. This company will create the articles of incorporation and the bylaws and file it in the State of Utah and complete and file the 501c3 application for the IRS. The approval can take from 3 to 6 months according to this company. I did Google a review for this company and I did not read any negative comment about them.
I would like to officially ask all of you to be part of this Foundation. If you are willing, I need to add your complete names and addresses to the application. If you prefer not to be included in the application, that will be fine also. We can always add names in the future.
Please let me know your decision by tomorrow, Wednesday, October 10th. If you agree, please include your addresses and telephone numbers.
Your friend.
Rene

Donor List (Companies):
Adobe Systems Incorporated is a multinational computer software company. The company is headquartered in San Jose, California, United States. Adobe has historically focused upon the creation of multimedia and creativity software products, with a more-recent foray towards rich Internet application software development. It is best known for the Portable Document Format (PDF) and Adobe Creative Suite, later Adobe Creative Cloud.
Adobe was founded in February 1982[4] by John Warnock and Charles Geschke, who established the company after leaving Xerox PARC in order to develop and sell the PostScript page description language. In 1985, Apple Computer licensed PostScript for use in its LaserWriter printers, which helped spark the desktop publishing revolution.
As of 2009, Adobe Systems has about 9,117 employees,[4] about 40% of whom work in San Jose. Adobe also has major development operations in Waltham, Massachusetts; New York City, New York; Orlando, Florida; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Lehi, Utah; Seattle, Washington; San Francisco and San Luis Obispo, California in the United States.
Redmond Inc.
Redmond, Inc. is best known for brands like Real Salt, Trophy Rock, and Best Vinyl Fence & Deck. We’re proud of each of our brands and the products they help create, but Redmond isn’t a salt company or a vinyl company, or even a holding company. Ultimately, Redmond is a people company.
Redmond’s story begins in 1958, when a prolonged drought forced two brothers to abandon their farm in central Utah. Aware that Native Americans had once harvested salt rock from their farmland, Milo and Lamar Bosshardt borrowed a little money and went into the salt business with little more than sledgehammers, picks, and a determination to provide for their families. Their salt deposit, the result of prehistoric volcanic activity that encased an ancient seabed, provided a naturally-balanced mineral salt that local ranchers credited for healthier herds. As the salt’s reputation grew, the Bosshardt brothers purchased land from their neighbors, giving them access to the entire deposit, estimated to extend several thousand feet below the surface of the earth.
It wasn’t only ranchers placing a premium on Redmond’s salt products. In the 1960’s, local governments realized that Redmond salt melted road ice more efficiently than traditional white salt, and Redmond began marketing crushed salt as a premium highway deicing salt. The product would later be known as Ice Slicer, and its often-imitated reddish color is still visible on clear winter roads throughout the western United States.
Eventually Redmond’s customers began asking for salt they could use in the kitchen, so in 1984 Redmond introduced Real Salt brand sea salt. Real Salt’s all-natural blend of minerals and salty-sweet flavor has made it one of Redmond’s most recognizable brands worldwide, and the best-selling salt in America’s health food stores.
In the early nineties, the Bosshardt family considered a new direction for the company’s future. Convinced that their products had unrealized potential, Redmond hired Rhett Roberts as a consultant to evaluate Redmond’s products and strategies. Roberts presented several ideas that would help Redmond become more than a traditional family-owned business, and the Bosshardts eventually asked him to join the company to implement the changes.
Change came frequently under Roberts’ leadership. Products were rebranded and repositioned in the marketplace, manufacturing processes were updated, and a new corporate philosophy began to form. Roberts had big ideas, and the Bosshardt family came to trust in his vision and integrity. Eventually the family decided the values and legacy of their company would continue with Roberts, and he purchased Redmond in 1999.
Redmond has grown steadily since then, extending well beyond the original focus of agricultural salt. Our brands include products for animals, businesses, homes, and our bodies, with each division focusing its growth on enriching the lives of our customers. Developing these brands helps Redmond remain true to its founders’ vision that “this company exists to bless the lives of others.”
