Bob,
Our neighborhood has had an association for over 20 years. We have 85 houses and collect a voluntary contribution of $10 per home. We have monthly neighborhood covered dishes, annual Christmas party, picnic, get well cards, etc. We also have a 50/50 drawing every so often.
The money goes for buying paper plates, etc and entry decorations, our entry Flag, etc. We have a checking account. We have a President, secretary, treasurer, etc. There is never more than a few hundred dollars in the account. We are not tax exempt, and have never filed anything.
In your opinion, (and I know you are not a tax attorney, etc), Are we not doing something we should be doing? I find it hard to believe the Federal Gov't has nothing better to do then to want to know about a little neighborhood association of old folks.
We are not an HOA or anything....that is different. Any thoughts? With all the clubs, etc we all have around to be involved in, does every tiny club have a concern here? George Orwell was just 31 years too early......
Frank
