Summer Camps at Geneva Center
www.genevacenter.org

It's time for kids of all ages to start thinking about summer camp --  the Geneva Center offers many kinds of camps for many kinds of interests. Adults can join their kids or grandkids (or favorite kids) for You and Me Camp and Grand Camp. Children in elementary school can choose from a short Firstimers camp to a week-long Discovery Camp (with the traditional swimming, crafts, canoeing and outdoor activities) or a camp devoted to music, art and drama. Junior high and high school kids can get even more adventurous with Riverwalker, Wilderness and Pathfinder camps. The schedule below gives the dates for summer camps at Geneva Center. You can also go online or ask at the church office for a brochure, where you can read in more detail about the fun that awaits. Don't forget that children of church members may qualify for scholarships to help with funds to attend these camps. So, get out your calendars and remember those fun summer days at camp, meeting new people, getting closer to God, and coming home renewed and excited about life.

Calling all Moms & Tots!!

We are starting a new class for moms and tots! Are you a mom with an infant or toddler who would like to spend a little time connecting with other moms? A new class has been created to give moms an opportunity to talk about ideas, discuss issues, share a devotional, and simply enjoy each other’s company. The children will also have the chance to play and interact with each other!

The class will be held in the church nursery during the Sunday School hour, 2nd and 4th Sundays @ 9:00 am. Please come join other moms and their tots for fellowship and fun!

Tax Issues

Are you being audited??  A cancelled check is no longer sufficient in an audit.  The amount must also be listed on a bank statement as paid.  Debit or credit card transactions must be on a statement also.  Save the applicable statements in case of an audit.

Just as before, any donation of $250 or more given at one time must be acknowledged by the recipient organization in writing.

Donating items to Dayton’s Kid Closet, Goodwill, etc.??  All items must AT LEAST be in good, used condition.  You must get a receipt just like other donations.  Document in detail what you give, or better yet, take a picture of the donated items.

For another year, persons 70 ½ and older can make an IRA distribution to non-profit organization donation without being taxed on the donation.  It must be a trustee to organization direct transfer.  Also, you may not take a deduction on the Schedule A.

For all tax-related issues, see your tax professional!
 

From the Assistant Church Treasurer...
I am required to send statements on a quarterly basis to anyone who donates $250 or more to the church, in one installment. If you would like to have a quarterly or yearly statement sent to you for other giving, please let me know.
Thank you,
Patty Hicks, Assistant Treasurer
