PART IX LINE 24E MEMERSHIP INTAKE $13022
“Membership Intake: $13,022 In both 2023 and 2024 The Kalamazoo (MI) Chapter of the Links held new membership intake programs. These intake programs were necessitated almost exclusively due to existing member relocations. The new member process extends over 2-3 months and concludes with an induction ceremony. These costs cover the required materials, meeting room rentals, meals, and initiation gifts for both intake classes.”
PART IX LINE 24E Fundraiser Event: $117,152
“A fundraising event was scheduled for Friday, October 27, 2023, featuring the Grammy-nominated R&B recording artist KEM. Advance ticket sales in the amount of $23,598 was collected using Ludus online ticket service. Also, actual expenses through October 2023 were $76,507; inclusive of one-half of the performers contractual fee ($73.750). Due to slow ticket sales the October event was cancelled and rescheduled to Saturday, April 13, 2024. The advance ticket sales were returned to each patron ($25,146). Unfortunately, we were unable to issue the credits via the original payment method on Ludus; so individual chapter checks were issued to each patron. All refunds were made by October 27, 2023. The Chapter absorbed the Ludus processing fees of $1,548. As of this reporting year, there are no additional tickets sales and total expenses are $117,152 (including the returned ticket sales)”

| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 7 | Membership Intake: $13,022 In both 2023 and 2024 The Kalamazoo (MI) Chapter of the Links held new membership intake programs. These intake programs were necessitated almost exclusively due to existing member relocations. The new member process extends over 2-3 months and concludes with an induction ceremony. These costs cover the required materials, meeting room rentals, meals, and initiation gifts for both intake classes. |
| IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 8 | A fundraising event was scheduled for Friday, October 27, 2023, featuring the Grammy-nominated R&B recording artist KEM. Advance ticket sales in the amount of $23,598 was collected using Ludus online ticket service. Also, actual expenses through October 2023 were $76,507; inclusive of one-half of the performers contractual fee ($73.750). Due to slow ticket sales the October event was cancelled and rescheduled to Saturday, April 13, 2024. The advance ticket sales were returned to each patron ($25,146). Unfortunately, we were unable to issue the credits via the original payment method on Ludus; so individual chapter checks were issued to each patron. All refunds were made by October 27, 2023. The Chapter absorbed the Ludus processing fees of $1,548. As of this reporting year, there are no additional tickets sales and total expenses are $117,152 (including the returned ticket sales) |
