IRS 501(3)(c) Tax-Exempt Status is Approved!
News from Director Sally Ware- “We have just received our tax-exempt approval from the IRS for the Dixon. One more step is accomplished! I appreciate the help and thoughtful comments from each of you as we started this process, and I especially thank Aubrey for his help in commandeering the financial aspects necessary to make it happen. Aubrey will maintain the original letter of approval for the corporate file, and I will also be mailing a copy of the letter to Will. Thanks to all as we continue to move forward.”
Thank YOU, Sally for your skill and diligence in successfully filing for this official designation for the Dixon. Another great DHCA milestone has been achieved.
