.jpg) DG Erna Morain and her husband Steve have nearly completed their visits to the Districts 65 clubs and they report a great deal of enthusiasm, activity, membership growth and increased foundation giving. They are also pleased with the emphasis of the clubs on Food Insecurity, this year’s theme. Only 3 clubs remain for the first week in November. DG Morain has been excited to see the number of younger member involvement in many of the clubs, both as new members and taking over leadership positions. She said it is especially pleasing to see that the older and long time members are the most excited to see the involvement of a new generation. For an update on all the exciting activities in your District 6000 and our 65 clubs, be sure to check out this month's RD 6000 NEWS at this link: ROTARY CONNECTS THE WORLD!

Back in the early 1930s, with nationalism and ideologies that violated human dignity on the rise, The Rotary Club of Keokuk, extended their collective hands to their Rotarian friends around the world in a series of 496 “Peace Pipe Letters.” Eighty-eight years later, RC Keokuk members are repeating this long forgotten and beautiful gesture with a current crop of peace pipe letters epitomizing international friendship and understanding. Learn how you, too, can be part of this worldwide Rotarian Peace Pipe Letter Initiative.

Whether your club is a subordinate under Rotary International’s 501(c)(4) group exemption or is independently tax-exempt, the IRS requires that all Rotary clubs in the U.S. file an annual information return. For those clubs whose tax year follows the Rotary year, the deadline to file is 15 November. The form a club must file is dependent upon its gross receipts for the year. For more information, please see Frequently asked questions about annual reporting requirements for exempt organizations at www.irs.gov. It is important that your club comply with IRS requirements. Please note that Section 6033(j) of the Internal Revenue Code automatically revokes the exemption of any organization that fails to satisfy its filing requirement for three consecutive years. Frequently Asked Questions will answer many of the general questions you may have about Rotary clubs and the IRS. Please direct specific questions regarding your club’s tax-exempt status or reporting requirements to local counsel, your tax adviser, or the IRS at 877-829-5500. |
