At the Sept. 10, 2009 meeting,the BCGSL awarded Jim Aberwald a Certificate of Apprecieation and a Lifetime Membership for his years of dedication to our group.
Teresa D. Rogers was awarded a Special Certificate of Appreciation by the BCGSL for her expertise, many donated hours and monetary doations to guide us and process all the non-profit paperwork. Her efforts were coordinated with Janie Cain. Teresa reported that our group had passed its Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation. She processed this paperwork, and on July 15, 2009 we officially became a "corporation." She reported that the final 1023 package required by the IRS to obtain non-profit designation would be mailed soon. As a final celeberation toward our non-profit goal, Gary Tober, BCGSL President, presented Teresa and Janie with a cake. The membership truly enjoyed the cake.
