Scott,?

Thanks for this and the earlier response.

I understand the delicate position that you are in.

With the information furnished, it appears that a claim to an affiliation to a "community organization" can be construed as open to "subjective interpretation," as long as the one-year and street address requirements for the organization are met.

Regards and best wishes in your endeavor!
