NON-PROFIT STATUS I want to thank (and list as a supporter) Boyd Barton. A former CPA, Boyd has been a good friend for many years, and when he was asked to help with the application process, he gave his time. How good was his help? Well, our application was accepted without need of further explanations or reviews or probations. Outside of the prayers, Boyd Barton was the big contributor to that happening. Thank you, Boyd. And thanks to all the ACME families and supporters that have prayed and believed in the organization. The music will sound even sweeter!
