We've had VMT discussions to a point in the past, then the plug was
pulled (and I understand why and have no problem with it).

For those who want to pursue the matter and issues with the who and
how of the VMT off list, there are two resources to dig into. The
first is the Guidestar organization (http://www.guidestar.org/), which
posts information about non-profit organizations, including the Form
990 filed with the IRS. Registration is required, but it is free.  The
other site is the State Corporation Commission
(http://www.scc.virginia.gov/). Go to the Office of the Clerk
(http://scc-internet.scc.virginia.gov:8080/corporate/arfilings/corpsearch.asp)
and dig into the "Clerk's Information System" for information about
the VMT (this isn't an easy system to navigate, but the reports are
there).
