IRS 990-N FILING

To all Grandes and Locales, we have spoken with our auditors and they have advised us to let everyone know that the IRS is having all non profit organizations fill out a 990-N.  It is a simple process.  Just go to the website (per your letter from the IRS) and fill out the form by the due date.  The fiscal year for all Locales and Grandes ends June 30.  If you have any further questions please contact us. 

 

 

 

 

Resolution from the meeting in Indianapolis, IN

November 3, 2007

The following Resolution has come from the meeting in Indianapolis, IN November 3, 2007. The Voyageur Militaire who were in attendance would like you to take this Resolution to your Voiture Locale talk about it and vote on it. If it passes then you should send it to your Grande so they can talk about it at their Promenade, and if it passes there, it should be sent on to Voiture Nationale, so it can come to the floor at Promenade Nationale for a vote.

Thank you,

David R. Rabius

Resolution

To change Membership Criteria

WHEREAS, The membership of La Societe des Quarante Hommes et Huit Chevaux has continued to decline over the past several years and

WHEREAS, The reduction in membership is hindering our ability to maintain our programs as well as our ability to support the American Legion and

WHEREAS, La Societe became a fully independent veterans group in 1959, and

WHEREAS, Broadening La Societe’s membership criteria harms no group or person, and

WHEREAS, This measure does not diminish the ritual, charity, selectivity, or honor at the heart of La Societe, now therefore be it

RESOLVED, That Article IV Section 1 WHO MAY BECOME MEMBERS be changed to:

Membership is open to all American Legion Members and all Honorably Discharged Veterans and all Military Personnel currently serving our country, and be it further 

RESOLVED, that the Avocat National make all changes necessary to bring the balance of the constitution in agreement with the changes made to Article IV, Section 1.
