An open invitation shall be given to all members of the Corporation's Board of Directors to attend, at their option, the Audit Committee meeting at which the Form 990 is to be reviewed. The Treasurer will compile comments to the draft Form 990 and send them to the Organization's independent accountants for possible revision of the Form 990, to the extent deemed appropriate in their professional judgment. The final Form 990 will be submitted to the Treasurer and Audit Committee for approval before filing. Once the final Form 990 has been approved by the Treasurer and Finance Committee, notice and a copy of the return is sent to each member of the Organization's Board of Directors inviting them to review the final Form 990. This invitation will be sent not less than two weeks prior to the date when the Form 990 will be filed. Any comments to the final Form 990 will be directed to the Treasurer to address with the independent accountants.

The periodic reviews shall be at a minimum on the following subjects: a. Whether compensation arrangements and benefits are reasonable, based on competent salary survey information, and the result of arm's length bargaining. b. Whether partnerships, joint ventures, and arrangements with management organizations conform to the Organization's written policies, are properly recorded, reflect reasonable investment or payments for goods and services, further charitable purposes, and do not result in the inurnment, impermissible private benefit, or in excess benefit transaction. Each member of the Corporation's board of directors and each employee shall annually sign a statement which affirms such person: a. Has received a copy of the conflicts of interest policy, b.

| FORM 990 PART VI SECTION C QUESTION 19 | The Corporation complies with the public inspection requirements of Internal Revenue Code section 6104 by making its Form 1023, Application for Recognition of Exemption Under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Forms 990 for its three most recently completed tax periods (currently not applicable because this is the Corporation's second Form 990) , and Forms 990-T for its three most recently complete tax periods (currently not applicable because this is the Corporation's second tax period and it has not received any unrelated business income). However, as section 6104 does not require organizations described in section 501(c)(3) to disclose its governing documents, conflict of interest policies, or financial statements, the Corporation has decided not to make such information available for public inspection. |
