Club Visits and Zone/Region meetings are being arranged.
Give any of the Cabinet members a call or an email to arrange as to when you would like them to attend one of your club meetings or other functions. If you are having a major anniversary celebration we will also work to assist you in obtaining a key note speaker for the event. Most recently I visited with the Decatur Lions. If you see one of them you may want to congratulate them and ask how their new Foundation: Decatur Lions Community Service Foundation which is putting together programs to help with education within the community and also a food pantry to serve those less fortunate. They are just one example of how the power of a small group can gather together to work towards
common goals in achieving greatness.

Maintaining your Club’s Tax Exempt Status:
While we are on the subject of the IRS, did you know that it is predicted that by May 2010 more than 500,000 501cX
clubs/foundations will lose their tax exempt status for failure to file IRS Form 990 (990, 990EZ, or 990N)? Make sure
that your club is not one of those clubs loosing their tax exempt status by filing your tax forms by November 15th, 2009.
The penalty for not filing on time is $20.00 per day even if no tax is owed!!!
