ELECTIONS

COUNCIL ELECTIONS were held on Monday, 

Treasurer's Trove:

The end of the fiscal year is June 30^th.   As your last duty before you retire and turn the books over to the new treasurer or even if you are returning as Treasurer, per Maryland PTA bylaws and your insurance policy, there must be an audit (or really a financial review) of this year’s books.  This audit report must be presented to your membership at your first general membership meeting in the fall.  For more on Preparation for the Annual Review, go to our website at: http://www.ptachc.org/Cresources/treasurerguidelines/annualreview.htm. If you have any questions, please email the Council office at ptachc@gmail.com  

Secondly, did you file your PTAs Personal Property Return last April 15^th?  This is required of every PTA even though the PTA does not own property. The PTA is incorporated and must maintain good standing with the MD Dept. of Taxation and Assessments. To check on the status of your PTA, go to: http://sdatcert3.resiusa.org/UCC-Charter/CharterSearch_f.aspx. Type in the legal name of your PTA
