We are well underway with our new Board members, working toward another great season in 2012.
The Club is looking for a person with experience in accounting to help us in filing our IRS 990 form for tax exemption under our 501c3 status.
If you can help us in finding someone that would be willing to contribute their time to the organization and volunteer to do this for us, please let me know.
Thank you,
Roger Howe, president
