NOVEMBER


As the madness of holiday preparation starts, we feel like we need to give Mom a night out.  We are planning a Mom's Night Out Event.  Check back for more details soon.


DECEMBER


When plan on working with a few groups in December.  Check back for more details.

Getting the Ball Rolling

So, only a few days later and there is SO MUCH going on and to talk about with Moms On a Mission.


Paperwork


1) I have mailed off registration papers for the state of WV as being a non-profit group.  This is not required UNTIL you raise over $25,000, however,  I paid the fee and sent it in anyway.  I like to be prepared for anything that may come my way! :)

2) I have gained an EIN *Employee Identification Number* from the IRS.  The site says they only do 5 a day.  I guess my getting up at 6 AM to do this paid off for the group!

3) I filed with the BBB Better Business Bureau to make sure everything is legit.  I had to file as "waiting on tax exempt status" those as this is a longer process.

4) Also, hopefully this week our Articles of Incorporation will be fully completed as well as our 501c Tax Exempt paperwork. :)


Members


We already have OVER 20 members and more that are interested!  We have assigned positions and are holding our first meeting and Meet & Great this coming Wednesday! :)  


All of our ladies are TOP NOTCH and I couldn't be happier! 


Events


We have our "Meet, Greet, and Eat" this week on Wednesday.  We are discussing our short and long term goals, bylaws, and events that are in the works that evening.  If you would like to come, feel free to email us at: MomsOnAMissionWV@gmail.com


We have officially signed up to participate in the National Kidney Foundations "Kidney Walk" in October (October 13th).  You can sign up to join our team here: http://donate.kidney.org/site/TR/Walk/General?px=1969599&pg=personal&fr_id=5131


We are providing an informational booth on July 7th in a festival for the city of Chesapeake, WV.


We are also working on helping out a group called Dog Bless Advocacy.  This group helps with out of state rescue missions of dogs from the Kanawha County Humane Association.  Their Website is located here:  https://www.facebook.com/dogblessadvocacy

We are currently working to set up other events as well.  If you have ANY suggestions, please email them to MomsOnAMissionWV@gmail.com.


Merchandise


We made lots of products yesterday.  All the money made from selling these products will go towards the fundraisers and causes that we are participating in.  Everything  we have made is paid for by the members, not money that is collected through fundraising.  We hope to be adding more products soon!

We  hope that we keep progressing as well as we have been and can continue to grow together as a group.  If you havent yet, please go "Like" our facebook page located here: https://www.facebook.com/MomsOnAMissionWV

Thanks for your continued support!!
