> Preserve your Tax Exempt Status

> filing requirement. It's short, easy and electronic – it's the new F 
> orm 990-N, an e-Postcard. If you are a tax-exempt organization that  
> normally has annual gross receipts of $25,000 or less and does not h 
> ave to file Form 990 or 990-EZ, you must file the e-Postcard. The e- 
> Postcard is due by the 15th day of the fifth month after the close o 
> f your tax year. So if your organization operates on a calendar year 
> , the e-Postcard is due by May 15 of the following year. What happen 
> s if you don't file? You risk losing your tax-exempt status! If you  
> think this new filing requirement may apply to your organization, go 
>  to www.irs.gov/eo for complete details and while you're there sign  
> up for Exempt Organization's free email newsletter, EO Update, to re 
> ceive up-to-date information posted on the charity pages of irs.gov.

> APNBA's New Office
> The APNBA has leased an office in the Olympic Mills Commerce Center,

> the National Historic Register and is being renovated to Green  
> standards.  When finished, it will have restaurants on the first  
> floor, a conference room, a roof top garden, and a five-story tower.
