The emptying of the items out of the semitrailer and into the building addition was a success. We will be contacting the owner to have the semitrailer removed.
Aaron received a letter from the IRS about filing our annual return. He talked to our attorney Mark Otto and now will be filing our tax form under 990-N. This should eliminate our cost.
