The end of August is nearing. This is a punch-up of things that need to be done for the end of the month.

1. Federal 990 forms are due by September 15, 2010. If you are going to have trouble meeting the deadline, it is very important that an extension be filed before September 15, 2010.
2. Payments to MI for your August Consolidated Statement must be remitted by the August 25, 2010 for posting in August. (check made payable to Moose International)

4. All bills and receipts must be entered into Quick Books for the month and transmitted before September 15, 2010.
5. Youth Awareness Congress in the Association. Does your lodge have 2 students to sponsor?
6. Fellowship Committees need to organize. Fellowship recommendation forms will be coming. Start to identify a qualified Moose Legionnaire in your lodge.

8. Membership Retention Committee (Brother Governor, this is your responsibility) should contact all expired and dropped members in the lodge.
9. Does your lodge have plans to observe 9-11 and public awareness of our efforts to raise donations for The Flight 93 Memorial?
