Minutes – Cheryl moved,
Mandy seconded that we approve as presented, motion carried.
Linda
thanked everyone who helped with cleaning and putting back up artwork on the
walls in the studio, it looks really nice. Cheryl said Will appreciated the
card, but hasn’t put his bill together yet.
Treasurer’s Report – Cheryl presented a financial summary. Cheryl is in the process of renewing our
501c3 – we didn’t know about a filing requirement that had passed. There are
lots of forms required for renewing it, there will not be an interruption in
our status, just have to get the forms in and wait for approval. This is why
we’re no longer a part of Give to Lincoln Day. They are who noticed we needed
to renew our status with the IRS .
Linda will send a note to the Lincoln Foundation thanking them for notifying us
of this need. Cheryl did send in the registration for the St. Mark’s Craft Fair
November 9. LSW craft fair info isn’t known yet.
