In case anyone was wondering why the Proof of Giving page hasn't been updated yet (something should be new on it at least once a month), the Search Kindly check book is in Chicago. And I am in central Illinois. I'll be returning to Chicago in a couple weeks, so I'll be sure to send out at least one check when I get back.
Tangent: The IRS is currently processing 501(c)3-applications that were submitted in October. I'm hoping that we will be up to bat next month. Once we are under review, there are three things that can happen. I shall quote from the IRS.gov:
"The Process: Upon receipt, exemption applications accompanied by the required user fee
are initially separated into three groups: (1) those that can be
processed immediately based on information submitted, (2) those that
need minor additional information to be resolved, and (3) those that
require additional development.
If your application falls in the first or second group, you will
receive either your determination letter or a request for additional
information, via phone, fax, or letter, within approximately 60 days of
the date the application was submitted. If your application falls
within the third group, you will be contacted once your application has
been assigned to an EO specialist.

Current Status of Applications Requiring Additional Development:
Cases received as of October 2007* are currently being assigned. Some
types of applications must be assigned to specialized agents due to the
issues involved, however, and may take longer. These applications are
also assigned in order from the date they are received."
That is all.
