7 Activities: Alice B.: See the attached agenda for events. Alice mentioned that she was glad to be back in a warmer climate – she was cold in Denver. As a result of a tornado delay she did not get home until 1:00 AM. Fifteen have signed up for the winery trip.
8 Group Concerns:
a.) Jim referred to an e-mail that Mike had sent to Lew, who had forwarded it for discussion. It regarded a new requirement that non-profit companies must now return IRS forms; they had previously been exempted if income was less than $25,000. Since we must have three years non-compliance before losing non-profit status it was decided to let it go this year, but Walt and Carol will investigate the ramifications of the new law. Jim mentioned that a former club that he was in had been threatened with a 28% withholding.
9 Adjournment: With another sparse attendance, Jim adjourned the meeting @ 9:53 AM.
