        <FormAndLineReferenceDesc>FIN 48 (ASC 740) FOOTNOTE</FormAndLineReferenceDesc>
        <ExplanationTxt>FORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2: FOLLOWING IS THE TEXT FROM FOOTNOTES OF THE ORGANIZATION'S CONSOLIDATED AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: The Association is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) of 1986, as amended, as an organization described in Section 501(c)(6) of the IRC. However, income generated from activities unrelated to the Associations exempt purpose is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. The Association had gross unrelated business income related to paid advertising in their publications of $302,491 for the year ended June 30, 2017. This unrelated business income was offset by eligible expenses greater than income earned resulting in no net unrelated business income for the year ended June 30, 2017. Accordingly no provision for income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The FASB provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the consolidated financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Associations tax return to determine whether the tax positions are more-likely-than-not of being sustained when challenged or when examined by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense and liability in the current year. For the year ended June 30, 2017, management has determined that there are no material uncertain income tax positions. The Association is relying on its tax-exempt status and its adherence to all applicable laws and regulations to preserve that status. However, the conclusions regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes will be subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, ongoing analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. The Association is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2014.</ExplanationTxt>
