18  We will be insuring the Directors and Officers against any potential lawsuits  A minimum insurance of $500,000 will be what we will be insuring for  In an unlikely event of any patron/member lawsuits or lawsuits emanating from canceled events, we will be able to cover us with this

19  CFAA has the tax exempt status  Anybody providing money to CFAA will be eligible for Charitable donations after deducting the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the goods and services they receive from CFAA  While we would not provide tax advice, we will be providing receipts for every penny that we receive from any member for event tickets, membership dues as well as patron dues

Any member of the board can bring this up with the board  We will make all documents available for public inspection as required by the law  For now we will file 990-N Forms with the IRS for the tax purposes

21  FMV of the tickets (Goods & Services) we have are $13.30 for the TMK concert as the contract I have with the sponsors says that in order for us to have TMK here in Denver we pay them $4000.  Since there are 300 seats, we have 300 * 13.30 = $4000.00. The cost of hall and rest of the things are incidentals covered by underwriting alone.  Anybody contributing to CFAA can deduct ◦ X- ( (FMVz x Y ) * Z) ◦ X = Total donation; FMVz = FMV of the event; Y = Number of Tickets; Z= Number of events  For a $500 Patron with 4 family members attending 2 events in 2011 both at a FMV of $13.30  Deductible: $500 - (($13.30 x 4) * 2) = $395  For somebody who's buying 4 $20 Tickets per event for each of the 2 events in 2011  Deductible: ($20*4*2) - ($13.30*4*2) = $54  CFAA intends to send our patrons the FMV of the ticket prices at the end of the year
