There are some days when I have obligations that keep me from painting. And sometimes those obligations take a little longer than I originally anticipated. Yesterday was one of those days. I am wrapping up the IRS filing for 501(c)3 non-profit status for the Strasburg Dog Owners Group (SDOG). This is the group in Strasburg who asked me to speak to their organizational meeting a few months ago about what we did here to form the Warren County Dog Park Association and answer questions about raising money to build a park.
The group is very enthusiastic and are getting a great deal of support in their community so I expect they will be able to get their park up and running by next year. My contribution to them, with my consultant hat on instead of my artist beret, is to prepare and file their non-profit status paperwork. And as with any IRS forms, they are no fun to prepare. But they are done so hopefully they’ll be off in the mail by the end of the week and Strasburg DOG will be a non-profit that can accept donations to build their park. Good luck guys!!!
