Hi, all.
Many clubs are facing an IRS "time bomb" that goes off May
15 if they have not met the filing requirements that became mandatory three
years ago. I have drafted the attached announcement, which has been sent
out in a special edition of our Southwestern Division e-mail
newsletter. You might want to consider a similar announcement to your
respective divisions, and perhaps Norm Fusaro, to whom I'm sending this
separately, can include it in an Affiliated Club Newsletter and/or on
the ARRL Web site. If it saves clubs from losing their tax-exempt
status, it will be well worth the effort, and ARRL will get the credit for
having helped them avert an unfortunate situation.
Also attached is a New York Times article on the same
subject.
Contact me if you have any questions.
73,
