GENERAL FOOTNOTE:

“This is the first year that the organization hired a cpa firm to conduct an independant audit. During the audit some of the beginning balances needed to be adjusted. Because of this you'll notice the following: a) page 1, net assets or fund balances beginning of current year doesn't agree to the ending net assets or fund balances on the prior years form 990-ez. B) page 11, balance sheet, column a. Beginning of year doesn't agree to the end of year balance sheet on the prior years form 990-ez.”
