Rooms and registrations are going quickly. Spaces are filling up. Sign up as soon as possible for “Rotarians Sharing Rotary”, our 2008 District Conference. We hope to keep you entertained with music, quizzes and raffles as well as meaningful presentations by Rotary partners worldwide.

New IRS Reporting Requirements for ALL Clubs!!!!!

As you may or may not be aware, at the end of the 2007-2008 Rotary fiscal year, the IRS will be requiring all Rotary clubs and districts in the United States to submit either a IRS form 990 (for those clubs and districts with gross receipts of over $25,000) or an electronic version, referred to as an e-Postcard report (for those clubs and districts with gross receipts under $25,000). For reporting purposes, the deadline to submit the required information for the 2007-2008 fiscal year will be 15 November 2008. Please note that per the IRS, failure to meet the annual filing requirement for three consecutive years will result in revocation of the tax-exempt status of the club or district in question.

The IRS has requested that Rotary International remind clubs of this new filing procedure. This is critical information for ALL ROTARY CLUBS. The paper can be found on the RI website: http://www.rotary.org/RIdocuments/en_pdf/info_paper_clubs_irs.pdf.
