IRS990ScheduleN/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1Part II, 2c - Purchaser/Transferee - Purchased by sole proprietor who is also Board Chair. Purchased used, at full retail cost new. Because of the political climate regarding the food program, and the difficulty in securing a new authorizer, the Board determined to reduce expenses and operations to minimum levels, while beginning the restructuring process of finding a new Executive Director and building the network and foundation to establish the public communications platform which has been the foundational goal and purpose since inception. Selling the furniture and equipment, and recouping certain related expenses will allow the organization to satisfy all outstanding liabilities, maintain a minimum cash balance, and sponsor the few events consistent with the Board's directives.
