It’s time…
For too long we’ve dealt with the issues of violence, crime, under-achievement, and low expectations. For too long our community and organizations have been plagued by divisions and mistrust. For too long we’ve waited for solutions to come from the outside, when we have to power to change our reality right now if we would only come together…

It’s time…
On June 26th, at 12:00 noon, the NAACP and the Ministerial League along with other community minded organizations, concerned citizens, families, and youth, will STAND TOGETHER. We will March through our neighborhood, walking past the sites where our young men and women have lost their lives to senseless violence. We are going to March, and sing, and Pray, and recall that spirit of the Community we Used to be… We are going to March together, arm-in-arm, and work together to bring about the Rebirth of our Community Spirit. We are going to March together, and teach our Young People about the beautiful People and Community that God intended us to be.

It’s time…
We are going to stand together and say Goodbye to the Ego’s, Goodbye to the Silo’s, and Goodbye to the divisions that have kept us apart. We are going to stand together and say Goodbye to the violence, Goodbye to the crime, and Goodbye to the low expectations that have afflicted our community.

It’s time…
We’re going to Reclaim our community by reclaiming our Youth. We are not going to cast these young men aside — We are going to reclaim them. These are our children – We are going to let them know that we love them, and we are going to bring them back into the fold. We’re not going to lecture them about the way it was ‘back in the day‘… We going to talk to them about the way its ‘going to be Tomorrow‘, and we’re going to fight to bring our prodigal sons back home. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

It’s time everybody… So get out your old walking shoes. And JOIN US on June 26th… More details will follow shortly through the blog, email, radio, newspaper, text, twitter, facebook, and flyers…

Be ready everybody – Start talking it up – Start praying and Stretching – because on June 26th, we’re going to stand together and rebuild our community…

A change in law put in place through a 2006 federal pension bill requires all non-profits, even small ones, to file IRS form 990s or a simplified version of the form. Nonprofits with less than $25,000 in annual revenue formerly didn’t have to file with the feds like larger organizations. But that changed with the passage of the 2006 law. Small volunteer type organizations had three years to comply, but many remain unaware of the impending deadline. The grace period ends on Monday.

The deadline applies to groups that report $25,000 or less in income but excludes churches. Organizations that lose their tax exempt status may not find out until Jan. 1, 2011, when they’re notified they have to pay taxes on donations they thought were exempt. And it could be months before their nonprofit status is restored.

Please forward this post to any community groups or small volunteer organizations that currently have 501c3 Tax exempt status…

Organizations can still E-File their 990s form and beat the deadline. CLICK HERE for the E-Filing form.
