| + | ====== Annual Report to State of Missouri ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Last annual report (5 June 2007) is now on file | ||
| + | * It showed old registered agent and address. | ||

| + | * Changing a registered agent requires the enclosure of a written consent. | ||
| + | * We needed to correct Craig's name and address. | ||
| + | * Last year (July 2007) we had considered just making a "registered agent change", but it would cost money. | ||
| + | * Last year (July 2007) we said that we would make changes next year. | ||
| + | * It is now "next" year. | ||
| + | * Carl filed annual report for 2008 during the meeting. | ||
| + | * Cost was $10.00, paid on Carl's credit card. | ||
| + | * Craig's name and address were corrected. | ||
| + | * Corporation Info | ||
| + | * Official name: ST. LOUIS UNIX USERS GROUP, INC. | ||
| + | * Charter number: N00046271 | ||
| + | * Still need to change registered agent. | ||

| + | * Cost is $10.00. | ||
| + | * Craig can be used as a registered agent. | ||
