ANNUAL FILING WITH SECRETARY OF STATE

THIS IS DUE BY APRIL 1ST

WHY WE NEED TO FILE ANNUALLY

• We are incorporated with a Supplemental Charter so we can abide by The American Legion National Charter rules and regulations to keep our non-profit 501(c) (19) status

• This is so the State of Georgia can allow us to have Domestic Non-Profit Status

• We file INCORPORATION with the State of Georgia to protect our post or district

• This means the individual officers and members of the post or district cannot be sued
