SRA-Puget Sound Mebership meeting
on the 16th of August, we will be meeting at Poodle Dog (1522 54th Ave E) in Fife, WA at 10am. We will discuss the By-Laws, The SRA-PS Welcome Packet, perhaps collect dues for the first year, and after all is said and done. go on a brisk 1.5 hour ride to a lunch destination in Morton, WA, you can get lunch, or even a small desert, at a little known place I know.

Dues
I was at the original meeting a couple of weeks ago. As I previously stated at that time, I would highly suggest you check with the IRS to verify if a tax return is due once you collect this dues. If one is due I suggest you review the filing requirements and if your treasurer is prepared to complete it.

Well fiddle sticks! Double-booked again
At least I made the first one! Michele & I are in full support of the new SRA-PS. Keep us posted. Thanx!

Why are dues needed ?
What will dues be used for ?
Why not have a 50/50 drawing at every mtg. 50% to winner and 50% to the chapter pot.
KIS
Just my 3 cents

2nd post for organizational reasons: So...
Q1: Why dues?
What does a club such as this need funds for? How does funds usage then get authorized?
What are the different SUCCESSFUL methods by which other clubs have raised funds when needed?
What are the 'unintended consequences' of requiring dues? (both positive and negative)
Q2: Just how difficult is the Treasurer's job of keeping the IRS happy being a 501C club?
Is it worth the hassle?
Can a club raise funds without the IRS officiality? (see Why Dues?)
add to this your own Qs and responses

The SpoKan-AM Chapter formed just a year ago. You might want to contact them as we went had many of the questions you now have. We have a Facebook page and I can give you Directors, with his permission, if you msg me here. Believe it or not there are expense involved with forming a club. We set our dues minimally,only $20 for members and $10 for aux. members.

These questions and concerned are both being worked on and discussed by the Board. and we will pass on and talk about the status of everything at the meeting.
but to answer one right now....Dues and fund acquired through fund raisers by a non-profit are not taxable in the state of WA.
and the way the San Diego Chapter does dues. it is primarily to pay for administrative charges, I.e.-non-profit application, banners, possibly website, etc. and if there is enough of a surplus, they pay for an annual picnic/bbq.

I am not referring to state income taxes when I posed the question. I know Washington has no taxes. I was referring to Federal requirements. There is a form 990-N which needs to be filed annual beginning 5 months after you receive your non profit status and needs to be filed annually. Failure to file will revoke the nonprofit status and may make the funds taxable. I strongly you suggest you look into this before making any further comments regarding taxes.
