I sincerely thought that this filing was due on November 15, but now realize that it was apparently due on October 15. This is my first year in the position of Treasurer for the Weaver's Guild of Rochester, INC and was given little information from the person previously in the position. Filing this form has been a learning experience and I simply made a mistake. I miscalulated the timing from the end of the fiscal year.I have worked diligently to complete the form and do it correctly, and I deeply regret the error.
