“This is the 1st year that the stickney-foret view lions club is filing form 990-ez, previously we filed the 990-n. The increase in revenue was due to revenue received from a queen of hearts raffle that was started in 2022 and was won in september of 2025. As the jackpot rose so did the purchases. The treasurer thought that form 990-ez had to be filed by december 31st, 2025 and did not realize it was due in november 2025. Additionally, the trasurer did not realize that the form 990-ez had to be electronically filed, not having that capability he needed to find an appropriate source to file the return.”
