If the IRS has such an issue with how this was done so be it, they should be concentrating on someone like Al Sharpton who owes the IRS over 3 million yet we don't want do that because were too scared. I've been involved in youth sports as a Coach for the past 8 years and it costs money, especially football to outfit the kids in the necessary equipment. I say kudos to Mayor McCall for standing up for doing the right thing, the rest of you pencil pushers just shut and for once just say 'thank you' to the kind donation.

Thanks to the donor for caring and sharing. Thanks to Mayor McCall for trying to do something that will benefit the children.

Why does the CRA avoid being a registered not-for-profit entity? Too much paperwork? sounds like money laundering to me.

Too much paperwork?

I believe the Century Recreation Organization would probably date back to the late 1950's or early 1960's. Maybe loosely operated but did have a tax number in the 1970's when I had kids involved (playing Football and Cheering the team). Why they have lost their tax exempt status the Mayor could investigate. This Organization was big in Century and probably was the leader in getting surrounding towns to form like Organizations. Little League baseball and football was the incubator to many would could have and did make the big Leagues of today. Century should be the proudest of this of all things that it stands for. You may not can tell it but I am a Century Blackcats Fan even today. Go! Mayor McCall and "Goooo Blackcats". Keeping everything Open and Aboveboard I think Mayor McCall is trying to do.

The town should d0 what it can to support the youth. A lot of others towns do it. And you wonder why Century gets passed over, they are stuck in the past. It is for the kids.
