At our meeting on February 28th, 2026, our treasurer announced that the IRS has approved our 501(c)(3) application! This means we can get a proper Non-Profit Business Account at a great local credit union... begin fundraising... take donations... and start signing contracts, like the all-too-important contract with the venue hotel!
This was a major milestone in developing the organization, and with this step finished, we can begin moving ahead with the rest of the work!
