Friends of Queen Anne's Revenge non-profit calls it quits on Blackbeard fundraising

BEAUFORT — Lawsuits alleging copyright infringement have led to the dissolution of Friends of the Queen Anne’s Revenge, the nonprofit fundraising group for the QAR shipwreck project, but the state says work will continue. Wendi Oliver, former president of the Board of Directors for Friends of the QAR, said Wednesday in a press release, “Unfortunately, the state is involved with two lawsuits in which our organization was also named. This precludes us from raising any more funds for the QARproject.” http://www.carolinacoastonline.com/n...41cf75a7b.html
