Revision to DHS Music & Theater Boosters Bylaws
 
Dunlap Community Unit School District now requires all volunteer organizations to independently secure 501c3 tax exempt status.  In accordance with this new requirement, the Music and Theater Boosters officers have assembled a plan to achieve 501c3 status before the end of the current school year.  One of the steps is to revise our bylaws to include the required tax exempt statements.  The revision below has the support of the boosters board members and will be formally voted on at the May 2 meeting.
  
Thanks for continued support of your Music & Theater Boosters!
