[Fmhc] Special meeting of the FMCHP

[Dan Mahli]

Hi everyone -- I have good news.  We delivered our twins on Thursday morning, Febuary 22 -- Elizabeth Rebecca (5lbs, 4oz, born at 10:42 am) and Patrick Daniel (5lbs, 10oz, born at 10:50 am).  We are the happiest and proudest of parents.  What a life changing event!  The delivery went smoothly (even Kim says so) and we are doing well adjusting to our new lives.  It has been quite a whirlwind.  No sleep yet and there are a lot of new smells, but more than anything, we just keep looking at these beautiful babies and can't help but feel super blessed and overwhelmed with love.  I've attached a couple photos.  Hugs and much love.  Dan

	Subject:  Special Meeting of the FMCHP

	 

	FMHC MEMBERS:

	 

	If you will be attending the special meeting at noon today--which is described below--could you please bring a copy of this e-mail which contains the proposed adendment to the bylaws.  As Dan has explained below, the IRS folks are requiring us to adopt this admendment as part of our 501(c) (3) application.  Thank you.

	 

	Also, if anyone would like to make any comments or suggestions regarding the grant request to Bremer--which was mailed out earlier--perhaps, if it is okay with Mike and Sue, we could discuss those after the conclusion of the official meeting which should be very brief.

	 

	 

	A special meeting of The Fargo Moorhead Coalition for Homeless Persons, Incorporated is scheduled on Wednesday, February 28 at noon in the boardroom at the Fargo Housing and Redevelopment Authority (325 Broadway, downstairs).  The purpose of this special meeting is to vote on a dissolution clause for the FMCHP, which is a requirement for organizations wishing to acquire 501c3 status from the IRS.  The proposed dissolution clause is attached below.    The reason for this special meeting is that our bylaws require that any proposed changes to the bylaws be presented to the membership 15 days before an official vote (Article IX is also referenced below).     

	 

	Proposed amendment to the bylaws

	a.	The Fargo Moorhead Coalition for Homeless Persons, Incorporated is organization is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes, including, for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations under section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or corresponding section of any future federal tax code. 
	b.	Upon the dissolution of The Fargo Moorhead Coalition for Homeless Persons, Incorporated, assets shall be distributed for one or more exempt purposes within the meaning of section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or corresponding section of any future federal tax code, or shall be distributed to the federal government, or to a state or local government, for a public purpose. Any such assets not disposed of shall be disposed of by the Court of Common Pleas of the county in which the principal office of the organization is then located, exclusively for such purposes or to such organization or organizations, as said Court shall determine, which are organized and operated exclusively for such purposes. 

	 

	 

	 

	 

	 

	 

	Article IX: Amendment of Bylaws (amendments require a 15 day notice to the membership) 

	These Bylaws may be amended with approval of a majority of those members present at the meeting in which the vote occurs. In any case of proposed amendment the change proposed shall be submitted to the full membership not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the meeting in which the amendment is to be considered.
