Old Business

​

1. State Tax Filing Status: The President had visited with Mike Kazmierski to discuss the Club's Tax Filing Status. The Federal Filing is up-to-date but will require reneal on June 1, 2021. However, a decision was made not to file with the State as the filing cost and annual renewal fee was too high to be of any financial benefit that may have accrued.
