Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Pt VI, Line 19

“AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST”

Pt VI, Line 2

“Chris & heidi smith are husband and wife”

Pt VI, Line 11B

“The executive director reviews form 990 and discusses with the tax preparer. The executive director reviews the organizations financial status as part of the executive directors report at every quarterly meeting with the board. He provides a year-to-date profit and loss statement and balance sheet at the meetings. He highlights and explains the reasons for anything large or unusual. The board is satisfied with that level of detail and frequency.”

Pt VI, Line 12C

“We review the conflict of interest policy every year at one of our board meetings. We ask for any disclosures and record them in the minutes.”
