Ozark Rail and Bus Transit Society, Inc

I have sad news. Our group was scammed out of a lot of money (for us), about $1,735.00. This caused an overdraft and fees and now we suddenly owe even more.

I have decided to dissolve the nonprofit Ozark Rail and Bus Transit and let it rest. We will start fresh perhaps next year? With a variation on NWA GO.

I'm a part time unpaid volunteer, and dealing with likely international criminals and exorbitant bank fees, and police reports while I have work a full time job is more than I signed on for.

I hope you all understand. If you want to contribute to pay off the bank, we won't recover any of the money the thieves stole, let me know. Any amount helps. I will tell you how to get the money to me. The faster the bank is paid off, the faster we can reform a new nonprofit and get on with it.

Some of you are coming to this page because I invited you to join our group, Ozark Rail and Bus Transit. I started this page so we could raise funds on Facebook/Meta. But because I am all thumbs when it comes to tech, I can't get us registered.

And the coming year, 2023, will bring some changes as our group grows and expands.

So this is official notice that I will shut this page down in the next couple of weeks. Never fear we will have a better page to replace this one. In the meantime join us on our group or keep up at our website.
