ReasonableCauseExplanation/ExplanationTxt0Tax filing responsibilities were transferred to the Executive Director, following the resignation of the Controller. The organization took steps to submit the 990-EZ as soon as it received mailed notice of late filing. The Executive Director will seek outside accounting assistance in filing for the upcoming year. Abatement of penalties is requested as the organization has filed on time in past years, and intends to do so in subsequent.
