A non-profit organization (abbreviated as NPO, also known as a not-for-profit organization) is an organization that does not distribute its surplus funds to owners or shareholders, but instead uses them to help pursue its goals. Examples of NPOs include charities (i.e. charitable organizations), trade unions, and public arts organizations. Attorneys who work with non-profit organizations help in establishing and operating a non-profit within the requirements of the law, deal with issues of taxation, corporate governance, telephone solicitation and charitable fraud.
Bethel is a village in Clermont County, Ohio, United States. The population was 2,637 at the 2000 census. Bethel was founded in 1798 by Obed Denham, in what was then the Northwest Territory. The village has been dry since the repeal of Prohibition. But recently through use of the single precinct vote system, precincts A and C can now sell (but not serve) alcohol. Business must first be put onto the ballot and voted into permitation. Bethel is the home of the first movie theater in Ohio which was founded by Aaron Little in 1908. It is home to the StarLite Drive-In, one of the few remaining drive-in theatres in the United States.
