CA2:   Form 990 Approval (Scott Silvers)

Issue:  Makersmiths 990 Tax Form is due

CA3: Allocate Funds from a Previous Motion from a Different Account (Brad Hess)

Issue:  The Board approved building related expenditures for Purcellville in the 10/23/2024 Meeting of the Board of Directors (Motion NB2), coming from the building capital reserve.  The approved project has not yet taken place and funds have not been withdrawn.  We seek to supersede the motion to instead draw the funds from the operating account and preserve capital for a potential future real estate transaction.

Solution:  Vote on a new motion that would change which account the funds would be drawn from when expended.

Relevance to Tax Exempt Status:  None

Motion:  Move to supersede the previously approved 10/23/2024 NB2 (approved as "Move to approve the spend of $8,820 to come from the Building Reserve and $3,175 from the Equipment Reserve to complete the projects as outlined on the October 2023 slide of the Purcellville Capital Plans presentation" as follows:  "Move to approve the spend of $8,820 to come from the operating account and $3,175 from the Equipment Reserve to complete the projects as outlined on the October 2023 slide of the Purcellville Capital Plans presentation."

NB2: KidWind Usage of Assets (Jennifer Chu)

Issue:  Parents and coaches are already inquiring about next year's KidWind program.  And Diane Painter would like to develop STEM workshops for youth and parents this summer (e.g., basic electronics, TinkerCad, and arduino workshops).  However, it is unclear if the laptops and other grant assets, originally intended for youth STEM initiatives under the grant proposal, will be available for use.

Solution:  Make the grant assets, including the laptops, laptop charging cabinets, FlashForge, and the wind tunnels, available for their original intended purposes for another year, through May 2025.
