The Board of
Trustees has authorized development of a number of volunteer
positions (see the "Who We Are" page in menu at left). If you live locally enough, and have an
interest in serving, or in
exploring what any of these participation possibilities might
entail, please contact the T&SC, or any board member.
The board has
also authorized a 7% paid commission (independent contractor status)
income option for
any member willing to seek out grants for our operations and
programs, or who runs an Independent Fundraising Project on behalf of
the T&SC. If you are interested in these
opportunities, please contact us.
On January 1,
2005 the Teaching & Sharing Center became a Michigan non-profit
corporation. At the board meeting of May 7, 2005 christian life programs and the poet's
circle officially were accepted as DBAs (assumed name - doing
business as) of the T&SC. Also, a touch of
william and Cherokee Bill's Trade Center entered into contracts with
the T&SC as Independent Affiliated Ministries (IAMs). On
July 14, 2007 the corporate name was changed to Teaching & Sharing
Centers, recognizing projects such as the Michigan Living History
Encampment as
separate T&SC endeavors from the original Center. The wsharing website
was also officially designated as an IAM. The T&SC is approved by the
IRS as a 501c3 public charity. It is legally incorporated on a
membership basis. If you would like to
become involved, or simply show your
support, by becoming a member, just click on the Membership Form link
(at left under Corporation Pages). After completing, print and mail the
form with the
annual or lifetime fee to the T&SC. All annual memberships officially renew on July 4th each
year. They first renew in the calendar year following the
original year of
enrollment. Therefore, an initial membership can last as long as
18 months or as short as 6 months, depending on when the application
is submitted.
Important Note: In trying to
keep our expenses minimal, we do not maintain long distance telephone
service at the T&SC and are only able to return local or toll-free
calls from there.
