The board of directors votes to ratify the contract negotiated with the selected candidate.”

Following audits of our fiscal years ended 4-30-13, and 4-30-14, the irs concluded in a closing letter dated 2-27-15 "we accept the return as filed- and in an addendum to that letter, explained "it is our position that the income received from this activity is not related to your exempt purpose, and is regularly carried on however, the activity does not appear to be profit motivated...if the activity does produce a profit in any year, then that income should be reported as unrelated business income on form 990-t." for the fiscal year ended 4-30-21, due to covid, this program was almost entirely curtailed, and produced a larger than usual loss. A brief summary follows: dining and events program revenues 80,749 dining and events program expenses ( 290,203) loss ( 209,454) accordingly, we have not reported the program activity on form 990-t.”
