Chris --
I agree with you that there ought to be some sort of "official" endorsement of using the Colorado Timetable Pay-pal account to contribute (or simply send a check to the Friends). The main thing is to make sure the donation is to the Friends if one want to take a charitable deduction, the Friends being a 501(c3) from which one ought to get a subsequent letter confirming such a donation.
But, when you go on to question JeanL for posting that a contribution to the Friends is a good idea, but then in another post criticizing the operator, she is actually being consistent in her world view, much as I might disagree with her latter opinion. She understands that the Friends and the CTSMC are entirely different organizations, a point I went to some effort to make in a recent thread that was removed from this site. A thread that I recall you started and kept fueling.
